This is my second post for the day, because I just had some great challenges to share! So, be sure to scroll down for more inspiration.

This one is for The Paper Variety.

Look what you could win!!!!

Aww yeah.. Cosmo Cricket is generously donating the wintry Mitten Weather Collection Kit AND coordinating CHIPBOARD! How could you not love that???

The challenge is to draw inspiration from this adorable photo. So many possibilities!!!! I drew from the colors. I could have done a puppy/dog, santa hat or possibly a baby sleeping. Get on over to The Paper Variety to see what the other DT members came up with.

Thanks for stopping by!

Another challnege is up at The Paper Variety. This challenge has so many options. Pick your poison :) I used the top row across. I used my cricut to cut all the snowflakes and the word "love." I used Stickles "Icicles" to create the snow effect.

Our sponsor this week is Tidbitz In Time. Look at this fabulous kit you could win!!! Just complete the challenge and upload by Tuesday for your chance. Zip over to The Paper Variety for details.


I used a recent sketch from Nuts About Sketches to complete this challenge.

The Paper Variety - Challenge #8 and what a challenge it is! I know I personally don't do very many Wedding items, so this was a nice change for me. The card I created for this challenge has already been delivered. My cousin got married recently and we had a reception for her here. She loved the card :)

I hope this challenge inspires you to create something beautiful. Because, after all...marriage is a beautiful thing!

Our sponsor this week is Precocious Paper. She is offering a $20 gift certificate to her Etsy store. Such gorgeous items! You have to play to win, so get busy!
