New Challenge

Hi Friends


It's time for another Everything but the Kitchen Sink challenge. We've decided to do something different for our end of the month challenge. It's going to be a hostess choice sort of challenge, so you will likely see a lot of variety in the upcoming months! Fun, right?


Well, for this month's challenge, I get the privilege of hosting. I immediately wanted to do an inspiration challenge based on a travel bag I have. Check out the inspiration photo below:

The challenge is to use this bag (which I love) as an inspiration for your piece (card, scrapbook page, art, whatever your heart desires). You can use the colors the pattern, again, just go with what you are "inspired" to create.

Here's what our fabulous design team has come up with

Kandi (our amazing guest designer):

Ann:





Courtney




Kelly



Winter:



Lynnette (me):


Lilly Bimble is sponsoring the challenge this time and is giving away 5 images to the winner! How generous is that. They have a wide variety of digital images to choose from. Whoever wins this one is going to have a great prize package to play with.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hugs,

Lynnette

EBTKS Challenge # 22- Hair Accessories

Good morning! It time for our "Around the House Challenge" from the EBTKS blog. And I "Winter" am the host this month. And my item to use from around the house is Hair Accessories! It can be rubber bands, bobby pins, clips, etc... Just about everybody has some kind of hair accessory if they have hair or a daughter! :) I was at my sisters house a couple of weekends ago and we were looking through her daughters hair accessories. And I found the cutest butterfly that was made out of small rubber bands. So that got me thinking about cards and how than can be used on a card and be taken off to use as a gift too! :) And our sponsor this month is Some Odd Girl!

/> And here is a little bit about them:

Some Odd Girl is the place to find fun and quirky digis that I know you will love! Some Odd Girl was inspired by two great friends who are such dolls! They took one of my pencil drawings and made it into red rubber and that act of generosity spiraled into what you see today. I am a married FTWM of 2 who has a hubby who not only loves me but supports my crafting and my site as my IT guy. What more could a girl want? I am an artist born who started out with pencils then acrylics and now scrapbook and am a cardmaker. I design things that I love and hope you have as much fun with our stamps as we do! Join us on September 21 for the release of our new Tinies line and don't forget about our monthly freebies and SOG Points program.

They were kind enough to offer the winner, 3 Digi Stamps of your choice! Plus this winner has the opportunity to be our next guest designer! :)

And here are the DT's cards! And don't forget to stop by their blogs for all the details on their cards!
