Friends Having Fun and Some Little Cards
Have you heard the news about Friends Having Fun yet? It’s a brand-new challenge blog that is just about to debut! And this one will be a little different – fun is the first priority for this site! Challenges will be weekly, and will rotated among four teams – see below for the challenge themes and the team leaders:
Alison – Color Challenge (week 1)
Dani – Sketch Challenge (week 2)
Sarabeth – Recipe Challenge (week 3)
Erica – Pop Culture Challenge (week 4)
In addition, each team is looking for 3-4 friends (design team members) who would like to have fun! All the details can be found here and the deadline for submission is this Friday, March 12th. Details are still being worked out for the debut of the challenges, which is now tentatively scheduled for late March. I will be sure to update here!
Now, feel like seeing some little cards? There are times when I seriously love making smaller-scale cards like the three pictured below. They come together quickly and the size forces me to really keep them simple.
This first one is my fave of the bunch – I absolutely loved using that sentiment stamp (by Verve Stamps) and that designer paper (by Pink Paislee). Putting them together just made me happy! I think I need to use that stamp again really soon – as a matter of fact, an idea is coming to me as I type this….hmmm….
The Twilighty card below went to the winners of blog candy prizes from the recent Twilight Tuesday Farewell Blog Hop. It was a bit bittersweet making this final Twilight-themed project, but I HAD to use that sentiment from Beth’s StampInsanity Stamps set (called Otherworldly Loves). Although I may very well make more Twilight-themed projects in the future, this definitely felt a bit poignant since I was officially done with my Twilight Tuesday duties when I mailed out the blog candy prizes and these cards. I hope that the prize winners liked them!
And this last card also resulted from that Twilight-card-making session – exactly the same as the card above with a different sentiment and die cut shapes in the center. 
Thanks so much for visiting – see you again soon!
