Hi everyone! First of all I want to thank each of you for participating in this challenge. It's been really hard for me to narrow down the selection to pick a winner. I was really amazed by all your wonderful creations. I finally narrowed it down and here is the winner.

Congratulations to Kim at Kim X!


I loved the country scene that Kim created, her coloring is wonderful and her paper piecing absolutely gorgeous. Please feel free to pick up the Top Talent winner's badge from our sidebar and display it proudly on your blog!

It's a "Howdy" Challenge

Hi there! Liliana here and ready for another challenge week. Let me tell you that I am so excited today because this is my first challenge as a host. But first, I want to thank everyone who participated in last week's photo inspiration challenge, your cards were wonderful.

We also want to share some changes we are making here at Our Creative Corner.  We are changing the format for our guest designers and starting in October, we will be having Top Talent Thursdays.  Our challenge winners will be center stage on Top Talent Thursday.  We'll bring you a mini interview with them and they will be able to share a project of their choice with you.  How would you like to be part of this?  All you have to do is participate in our challenges and you never know - we may pick you as our Top Talent!

The other change we are making is that we are setting a limit on the number of challenges you can combine with your submission for our challenge.  The maximum allowed will now be three plus the OCC challenge.

For this week's challenge, I have another picture to inspire you, but this time we'll go to the country.


Here are the requirements:

-Create a card or project with a country or western look. Use the photo to inspire you.
-Your project must have something plaid or gingham (checkered/tartan is acceptable too!), such as in a ribbon, or designer paper.
-Most of all, have fun!

Here is some inspiration from our talented guest designer, Birgit, and from the design team! So, let's get creating and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Sketch Challenge Winner

Wow, you ladies know how to make it difficult!
Thank you for all the wonderful entries in the sketch challenge, I really had a hard job deciding which card to pick as a winner.  We do hope that you will play along with the next challenge, because secretly, we actually like it when it's difficult to find a winner!
But, for me, this card ticked all the boxes and is a wonderful example of a masculine card, it follows the sketch and as an added bonus, it is monochromatic!

So, congratulations to Evelyn at Beyond Just Black and White.  Evelyn, please feel free to pick up the Top Talent winner's badge from our sidebar and display it on your blog.

Photo Inspiration Challenge


Hi everyone, it's Chris here again.
This week I have chosen a photo inspiration challenge for you.  Doesn't that cake look just divine?  I would love to be able to make cakes like that. Maybe one day I will have time to give it a go.  But in the meantime I will stick to stamping!
For your project this week, I would like you to use some element from the photo below, the colours, shapes, anything at all that inspires you.  I would also like to see two or more buttons - they can be real buttons, fabric buttons, covered buttons, die cut buttons, any sort of buttons that you can think of!  And, last but not least, use polka dots somewhere on your creation.

So, here it is in dot point:
         1. Use the photo as inspiration.
         2. Use 2 or more buttons.
         3. Use polka dots somewhere.



Here are the cards from our Guest Designer, Lisa, and from the Design Team.
Hope you fun with this one.  And please share what you have created, we love to see them.
Chris
