Everything But the Kitchen Sink Challenge 14

Hi There!

EDTA: The Challenge will be open until 12 May, so it's not too late to participate. We look forward to you joining in the on the envelope challenge :)

It's Lynnette here with the next Everything but the Kitchen Sink Around the House Challenge. For this month's challenge, I picked envelopes. Since we're paper-crafters/card-makers, I figured that ALL of us have envelopes around the house, so there's no excuse to not participate!

And, we have a fabulous prize offered up by sweet Ashley N. Newell. The Regal Greetings stamp set by Ippity. Check it out, it's so cute! (On a personal note, I am a big fan of Unity Stamps, they are great quality, so I am a bit sad that I am not eligible to win this).

Back to the envelopes... there are so many creative possibilities with this as you can see from the design team:

Guest Designer Mei Ann Guerrero (who is an over-achiever and did two fabulous cards!)

Winter:

Kelly Marie:

Ann (with her awesome pouch card):

Courtney:

Lynnette (that's me):

So what are you waiting for?? Let's get crafting! We cannot wait to see what you come up with! I know we're going to see lots of cool projects :)

Challenge # 11 - Sketch Challenge

It is time for another sketch challenge!! Woo Hoo!

This is Kelley... and I am the hostess for this challenge.

The sketch is shown above and here is the inspiration picture....


This is a little peek inside my (messy) craft room. Courtney did an excellent job making the sketch out of my inspiration picture and it was her idea to add the fun scallop at the bottom. I didn't even see that... my brain is so clean and simple that I just saw the 3 circles. Thanks Courtney for making the actual sketch!

Here are the samples from the DT:

Speaking of a fab prize... this months challenge sponsor is our very own Kelly Marie and Lawn Fawn. Kelly is giving away one of her brand spankin new stamp sets called Petite Florals! Thanks Kelly!!


So... get to crafting if you want a chance to win this awesome set!

We are blown away each and every challenge with the awesome eye candy that you guys provide so... keep it up! :) It gets harder and harder to narrow down our favorites! You guys are awesome!!

Don't forget that when you post your card or layout on your blog.... you can grab the sketch and post it as well! This lets others know what the sketch is so maybe they will come on over and play with us as well!

One more thing before I sign off (those of you who know me... know that I am long winded)!! :)

This is going to be my last challenge as a design team member! I started talking to Courtney several weeks ago as things were stirring in my heart about time/commitments/being a mother to a toddler, etc... ! So... I am letting this go! It will be hard because I have had a great time! These women I have been working with are some of the most genuine people around!! I am honored to call them my friends! I know that part is not going to change so... it's all good! :)

Courtney... Thank you for asking me to come along on this journey with you! It has been a great experience and one that I am so thankful to have had! Love ya girl! :)

Now... all of you reading this.... go make something! :) And then come back here and post it! :)

Peace and Love!! :)
