Bring on the sparkle!


Happy hump day! I am hoping we are on the down swing of the hump for covid. Today is a new challenge at Christmas 24. This one really appealed to me. I like glittery and bright cards.  

And today's challenge is:


 Gotta love the sparkle! My card is totally about the sparkle. From the background to the sparkly snowflakes to the sparkle sentiment. It is sparkle in overdrive!


The sentiment comes from this fun Honeybee set.  I added some plain white nuevo drops for some contrast and this sparkly card was completed.


You have two weeks to make it sparkle at at Christmas 24

Believe



I have been so behind with the unicorn rage. I didn't own any unicorn stamps. Now all of a sudden I decided yes. I have to jump on the carousel and ride a unicorn. There are a gazillion unicorn stamp sets out there, and the one I got was from Newton's Nook- "Believe in Unicorns". It is adorable. 
Inky Paws  is having a sketch challenge this week and I immediately decided to get my new unicorn set inky. I used the pattern paper as my coloring guide. Of course what is a unicorn with out a sparkly mane, tail and horn!!



Head on over to Inky Paws and join in our sketch challenge. We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog.

The deadline to enter today's challenge is this Friday, July 26, 2019 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at Inky Paws.

Inky Paws 100th challenge!!!!


Hi everyone!! It's a BIG day at Inky Paws. We are celebrating our 100th challenge!! Woot woot and yahoo!! I betcha when the first Inky Paws challenge debut on July 26, 2013, the DT could not have foreseen the 100th challenge.


We are challenging you to go back and pick your favorite challenge from the past 6 years and play it again. Each of us designers did the same thing. Since I just started paying along at Inky Paws about a year and half ago, I decided to go way back and play along with a challenge that I did not have the opportunity to do.



I am a girl who loves her sparkle and bling, so I immediately decided to use challenge #15- "add a little sparkle" for my inspiration. This challenge went live Oct. 24, 2014. Check it out for some DT inspiration.

Today's card is being sent out to all those messy crafters like me out there. How many of you have been in the same position as Newton? Vacuuming glitter, sequins, and gems off your floors and rugs. Thank goodness Newton has one of those high powered vacuum cleaners or he might be at that mess for awhile.

 For my card today I used a new stamp set from Newton's Nook called "Newton cleans up". It is full of fun images. The sentiment came from Newton's Nook's "naughty Newton.


Here's the details: Choose your favorite challenge & play it again!

That bites!




It's Monday and that means another Inky Paws Challenge over at Newton's Nook. Today's challenge is to add sparkle to your design.

Well.... I suppose the obvious is to go with a holiday theme card, but I decided to up the ante on the theme by randomly picking a NN stamp set and challengeing myself to use that set.

Rut ro! I pulled Shark Bites!! How was I to bedazzle a shark? Well..... by doing just that sparkling the shark itself.


I kept the card very CAS to really make the shark stand out. I gotta say, I think it is effective. What about you?


I know just who is geeeting this card and won't he be surprised by the sparkle and shimmer! Head on over to Inky Paws and check out the DT sparkle!
