Happy Friday All! It is that time again. Time for another Playing in Paradise Challenge. This weeks challenge is...






















I will admit I was a little uncertain as to what I wanted to do with this challenge. And then I was looking at my wall of inspiration...cards I have received from my fellow cardmakers...and saw a card that had various shapes and I got inspired. Although this card may not be one of my fav's and may not be perfect? I still am happy with the way it all came together. It's a happy card anyway. ;0)





















I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week and maybe win something too! Check HERE for all the details.


Be sure to check out the other design team members creations too:

{ MojoMonday 200 }

Hey All! Guess what? I actually played this week and did a MojoMonday sketch! It has been ages since I played and I was so happy that the mojo flowed nicely for me. I am very pleased with how this one turned out. The photo is not the best, but I love it! Hope you do too.

I have had this paper sitting around for a long time now - sorry no idea who's it is - and as soon as I layed eyes on it I knew I wanted to use it for this challenge. In making this card, my youngest discovered my chalks! She has been chalking up a storm. So I had to go out and buy the girls their own chalk from the dollar store today so that they don't use up all of mine!!

{ Playing in Paradise #25 }

Welcome everyone. Here it is. My OFFICIAL first challenge as a Playing in Paradise design team member. This one was a bit of a challenge for me, but I am happy with how it all turned out.

I was not too crazy with using all those colors, so I just used a few of my favorites. I don't have a plus punch, so I went with a square and cut them on the diagonal and switched them up to make it look somewhat quilt like. I really hope you will all play along this week. This weeks prize is from the Imaginisce Happy Camper line: some stamps, die cuts and some sticker stackers. An approximate value of $15.00.

Be sure to check out the other design team members creations this week!

{ My Big News? }

Well. It's offical. I am now a member of the Scrapbooker's Paradise Challenge Design Team!! I am very excited! I am really hoping that these challenges will help get the mojo flowing again. Unfortunately, I accepted late on Wednesday and I worked all day yesterday and did not get a chance to create something for this weeks challenge. I am still going to play and get something up tomorrow here on my blog...so stay tuned. In the meantime, head on over to the Playing In Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog and see what the other designers have created this week and then play along with us!!

I want to apologize for not being around lately. The past three weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster ride. Between all the things I have been going through with my Mom and going camping, well I have not had the time or the desire to create. But I REALLY do promise that this will change. I have some news to share with you all in a few days...gotta come back to find out what it is! heehee...

Anyway, I thought I would share a creation with you all tonight. This was a card that I made for a monthly swap I am doing with an online friend of mine. We were to use one of our favorite stamps. I love this penguin set and have not used it in a LONG time, so I pull this one out. Nothing too adventurous, but I liked it.




















Thanks for stoppin' by and hope you all come back to hear my big news!
