Todays challenge is2bKrafty with JanineJanine Orchardthat is, our very own KraftyStamp Simply DT member!!! And if you’re not getting it, Janine’s Blog title is 2bKrafty — which she certainly is!!! When I was cruising Janine’s Blog to determine what to pick from her designs for our challenge, I kept seeing Crisp, Fresh and Fun, and there were certain things that were predominant in her work that kept popping up at me. Following is that list, but remember, these are suggestions only of design elements that Janine uses often. You do not have to include all of these on your project, but they are here as a starting point. Please check Janine’s Blog for further inspiration from her gorgeous creations. There’s a lot to see and you WILL be inspired. Here are some ideas to get you in a *krafty* mode, ala Janine:

Colors: Vivid colors that are rich, deep or bright

Shapes: A large focal image, use of circles, ovals, scallopsand little tags

Embellishments: Use of primas (flowers) and Janine’s trademark Dew Drops

Overall Feel: Crisp, Fresh and Fun!!!

OK, now let’s get Krafty and see what we all come up with — fun!!

Here’s what our DT did, but if you are viewing this late Thursday night or early Friday morning, please bear with us as everyone is uploading their projects thank you!!!

Still playing with my Inkadinkado stamps — but I just LOVE this adorable snowman — he is so much fun!!! In keeping with the challenge today I used a large focal image, bright pink color, oval shapes, pearls and rhinestones for my embellishments, a small oval sentiment, and I do think the overall feel of this card is Crisp, Fresh andFun!!! At least it surely was FUN making it!!! Her body, hat and scarf are all accented with glitter. Thank you, Janine, for providing us with such inspiring work!!! Much appreciated!!!

    Love your perky snowman card, how cute to use something so different then the norm and have it come out simply adorable.
    I played however, I find it hard to mimic these wonderful stampers styles, they are in a class of their own.

    Awwwww, too cute, Sharon. Great colors for a snowman. I love cards holiday cards that are non -traditional colors. I’d like a scarf like that for myself. Here’s mine. Didn’t quite follow all of the guideline, but did get a few of them. Thanks.
