Bingo Recipe Challenge Winner!

Hello talented people, this is Anita Houston, your hostess from last week's Bingo challenge, and you are here today to see who our Top Talent Award goes to. We appreciate all the hard work the entrants did on this recipe challenge, and that some went way out of their creative comfort zones to actually challenge themselves, and that is why we are here. There may have only been 11 of you, but it was immensely difficult to only choose one, as they were all wonderful...so kudos to each of you! 

Anna C. you are the Top Talent for last week's Bingo Challenge! From your embossed bingo card, the wonderful peach, pink, blue and green soft color combination, the deep shimmering shamrock, and to the stunning mosaic butterfly, your card was uber wonderful! All the detail bits, sparkle, and layering were fabulous! The sentiment was so spot on to wrap it up, and the Scrabble tiles just added the final touch.

Anna C. - Be Lucky

Congratulations Anna on being our choice for Top Talent!  Feel free to take our badge to display on your blog!

It's not too late to play along with this weeks challenge of "Spring Break Vacation Destination". Show us your destination as well as it's name, and link back to us. We shall return with a new challenge on Saturday, and tons of inspiration for you. Until then, happy crafting!

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Winner

Hi Friends! Holly here to bring you last week's challenge winner.

I hope you're having fun this week with Anita's Bingo! challenge. If you haven't made a card with a bingo card mixed in with some green, there's still plenty of time. Jump in and have some fun!

I was so inspired by all of the different takes on the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge! There were so many wonderful cards to pick from. The challenge winner for this challenge based on the "three-in-a-row" game is Lea. Her sweet card brought together brads, pink and flowers with a vintage feel.

I love the stamped sentiment on the little tag, the sweet pink bow and the the angel image inside the frame. Congratulations, Lea! Thanks for playing along with us for this Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. Your work is inspired and adorable. Don't forget to pick up your badge and display it proudly on your blog!

BINGO!!!

     Happy Saturday everyone! This is Anita Houston, and your hostess for this week's challenge. For all of you who participated in last week's challenge, thank you so much! So many of you really outdid yourselves and followed the challenge to the letter. We really appreciate that, and choosing a winner will be difficult.

     As luck would have it today's challenge falls on St. Patrick's Day! Ah, the luck of the Irish, or so some say.  For this weeks challenge make a card or tag with some sort of bingo card on it, and use the color green somewhere on the project. With some luck, you just might have the winning one! Please take inspiration from our fabulous Design Team and gracious Guest Designer, Amy Lazzell, for this week. Everyone has come up with wonderful designs.

     I hope you have a happy St. Pat's and a very creative day as well!!!

 

Guest Designer: Amy Lazzell

Making Melody Challenge Winner

Well hello and happy Wednesday, friends!

I hope you're enjoying this week's Tic Tac Toe challenge. Its been fun to see all the different cards, colors and styles you've been sharing with us.

I was so delighted to see the different cards for our Making Melody challenge. Your songs of inspiration ranged the gamut from Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" to Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" to Deanne Carter's "Strawberry Wine", it was really hard to find just one that I liked. But when it comes down to it, that's what I had to do so this week's winner is Birgit/Biggan and her CAS butterfly card inspired by Mariah Carey's "Butterfly".

I love the wonderful simplicity and the coloring on the butterfly is simply amazing. I love the detail but I especially like the rhinestone body right down the middle. And the raised emboss around the frame is just a great added touch that really makes this card shine.

Congratulations, Birgit! Don't forget to pick up your badge and display it proudly on your blog!
