One Layer Cards – Today’s challenge is brought to us by Barbara Anders and here is what Barbara says:  I’m challenging everyone to make a one layer card. That means only the card base–not the base + one other layer–no layers allowed, LOL! Embellish however you want–ribbon, buttons, bling, scoring–anything goes, but no layers.  Sounds […]

A Color Challenge – As I say time and time again, color is my personal favorite for a challenge!  This week’s colors are Green and Yellow, with either White OR Ivory as your neutral, and adding a little Black to make it POP is always a favorite of mine!  I think we’ll see some striking […]

Two’s Company  – Deb Neerman provides a second challenge for us this month.  Today Deb is suggesting that two’s company … three’s a crowd?  That’s true because this week we challenge you to use “2 of Something” on your card or other project.  Some fun twosomes include: 2 different patterned papers, 2 different stamped images, […]

Christmas in July — It’s beginning to look a lot like … Christmas in July!  This week, Deb Neerman challenges us to create a Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah card.  The more festive, the better!  Pop in a holiday CD and break out the snow flake dies, the red and green card stock, and the holiday […]

Gone Askew – Today’s challenge is something I like to fall back on if I’m in a super hurry to make a card because it’s just so easy — place your focal image askew on your card — no trying to center it or mat it perfectly — just place it askew.  I love this […]
