Challenge #684 - You Won't See Me (transparency or vellum)

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our second-last challenge of the year. As you know, whenever my turn has come 'round, I've used Beatles' hits as my inspiration. This week, I've chosen "You Won't See Me" and the challenge is to use either vellum or transparency on your projects.

I used some vellum on my card and embossed it - so it's not particularly transparent anymore!

If you need more inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the Girlfriends' projects below. And remember, you can create any sort of project with paper (and this week with vellum or transparency too!) - from cards to bookmarks to home decor and scrapbooks. I'm so excited to see what you make!

Challenge #638 Featured Posts

Note to self, never do a "move it" challenge in December. This does however give me the opportunity to thank everyone who has participated in our past challenges this year. We are so glad to have you join in our fun and to become another one of our girlfriends. We are looking forward to 2023!

A big shout out to the DT for so many reasons, but mainly for their great "move it" projects this week. Hereʻs another little peek -

Stay tuned for a new challenge!

Challenge #683 - Make It Move

From wobblers to shakers and pop-ups to flip outs, I love them all. I guess there might be a tiny bit of an engineer or architect in me. That being said, I would love to see your projects that move this week. I chose to go with a penny spinner card for my project -

have to admit, it doesnʻt spin as smoothly as I would like (you can see that and my total lack of video editing skills on my blog here) but it does move and thatʻs what Iʻm looking for.

I sure hope youʻll join us this week. If you need a Ilittle inspiration, stop in and see what the Girlfriends have to offer, they never disappoint.

Aloha,

Challenge # 682 - Glitz, Glitter, Gleam, Glow!

Happy Wednesday, all. This week the challenge is "Glitz, Glitter, Gleam & Glow!" which mean we want to see those projects that have glitter or bling or foil or include a lamp, candle, moon, sun, stars etc. Lots of options!

And remember, we're not just about cards! We'd love to see your scrapbook layout, tag, bookmark, pocket page, altered item, mixed media make, journal page....any papercraft goes!

This is what I did.....

As you can see, I have patterned paper with foiling, sparkly hearts and a glittered ampersand. It's that easy!

If you would like more inspiration, be sure to visit the Girlfriends to see their makes.

Can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge #681 - Let's eat!

Hi! Happy Wednesday!

Doni, here and it's my turn to host this weeks challenge. Since I seem to always be hungry lately ...I chose the the title "Let's eat!", that just means you can use any type of food, cakes, cookies, pies, etc. So when making your project just put something eatable in there somewhere and you're good to go!

Here's the card I made:

I used the computer for the sentiment.

The rest was made with My Favorite Things Die-Namics called Sweetie Pie.

Totally clean and simple, but hey, what can I tell ya...that's me!

I can't wait to see what "goodies" you all put up! Yum,yum, yum!

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
