OCC - Inspiration Challenge

Hello and Welcome to Our Creative Corner!! First a big thank you to all who played in last week’s Crazy for Hearts challenge – we love when you play along with us!!

A big thanks to our January host, Jennifer Meyer. Today, we introduce our February host, Laurie Schmidlin. Laurie is challenging us to an Inspiration Challenge. All you have to do is pick your favorite embellishment (ribbon, hardware, charms, flowers, etc.) and create your whole card around it! How easy is that?!?!? When you are ready to play along, simply link your card below using Mister Linky so we can all see your beautiful creation! If you upload to SCS, don't forget to include OCCC in the keywords.

Notice anything NEW? Our Creative Corner has invited Lori Boyd to join the OCC. Please join us in welcoming Lori!!

Before we show you the OCC designers' samples, we'd like to introduce and welcome our guest designer for the week, Gabriela Divine of Gabi with an Eye. Thank you SO much Gabriela for playing along with us this week! Here is Gabriela’ BEAUTIFUL card!!

Laurie and Jennifer - I still can't believe you chose me, little ol' me, to be featured as your guest designer. My card looks so much better on your blog than mine. Thanks so much for the privilege and honor!
