Squigglefly Challenge #4, SFC0412 Have a Heart, Please!

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone. Are you ready for this week's challenge? Well first let me tell you about last week's winner.  The contest last week was to make a card that included Inchies somewhere on your card.  The winner was Sherry K on Stamping Cowgirl Creations (click here), she made a wonderful card with Baby Hammock from artist  Eline Pellinkhof. 

 

  The winner can contact Holly from Squigglefly at usyungs@gmail.com, for your prize.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC0413 Have a Heart, Please!

To make a card for this week's challenge, please create a card and show a heart on it somewhere.  The heart can be in your image, on your paper, or just an embellishment. We can't wait to see what you make!
 

Let's start with some examples made by the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted this beautiful card using artist Cheryl Alger's Polly's Pink Flower.   This adorable card has beautiful colored hearts and wonderful papers!  Perfect for this week's challenge.

Jan Marshall  created a this beautiful card with a wonderful image from artist Lynne Stansbery.  This image is called First Kiss.  It comes with an adorable saying "Give me a little kiss, will ya, huh?"  I must say looking at the expression on the lady there, makes me think of that saying exactly!  (I am guessing she will give in and give him the kiss.)

Elizabeth Hart designed a wonderful card with a simple sentiment "you."  I love the three hearts she added on the side and the beautiful heart behind the you.  Also, the coloring she did, which makes the image look different, be sure and take a look at Lynne Stansbery's detailed image "Oh Please be Mine,"  when I look at Elizabeth's coloring it looks like a child and her father. Amazing.  If I look at the Lynne Stansbery stamp, it looks like two children.  WOW.  Great coloring idea.

 

Charlene Mitchell designed this pretty card with an adorable image.  Artist Lynne Stansbery created this image  and it is called First Kiss.  I just love her use of hearts, both the pearl heart add-ons as well as the beautiful paper she used.

 

 

Lisa Minkler crafted this amazing creation.  WOW!  That's too awesome.  I love the dimensional creation and the die cuts with the adorable image.  That adorable little girl is called "Strut your Stuff" from artist Lynne Stansbery.  The image also comes with 2 fun sayings.  Beautiful Work Lisa!

Tammy Hair created this heart warming card with an adorable new image from artist Fawn Palmer.  The image is called Happy Beaver and it comes with the saying shown on her card plus two additional sayings.  I sure would be yours!

 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Fawn Palmer called Happy Beaver.  This adorable beaver makes a perfect little valentine!  Shown is one of the sayings that comes with him "Wood you be mine?" but he also comes with the sayings "Dam I missed your birthday" and "Justin Beaver wants to be your baby, baby."

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card to play along this week.  You are always welcome to play no matter what images you use, but to be eligible for the prize, please use at least one stamp from Squigglefly!

Squigglefly Challenge #2, SFC0213 I've got the Winter Blues!

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone.  Welcome to the first 2013 Squigglefly Challenge with Holley Hobbyists!  Are you ready for this week's challenge? Well first let me tell you about last week's winner.  The contest last week was to make a Thank You card.  We had several wonderful entries last week.  The winner in last week's challenge was Linda O for creating Thank You cards using Pansy Watering Can by Marla Shega and Hanging Cat Basket  by Louise Gardener;  You can see a little tutorial on her project on Linda's Blog (HERE).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC0213 I've got the winter blues!

To make a card for this week's challenge, I will give you one of two choices:  1) create a card in any shade(s) of blue; or 2) create a winter theme card.  Or be festive and create a winter card in blue!  It's up to you.
 

Let's start with some examples made by the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted this beautiful card using artist Lynne Stansbery's fun image called Strut Your Stuff.  This adorable card is in beautiful blues!  This stamp comes with 2 great sayings "men go shopping to buy what they need;  women go shopping to see what they need to buy" and "Strut your stuff!"

Jan Marshall  created a this card with a winter theme and a little blue too!  This image is called Sassy Sally's Winter Morning Social from artist Cheryl Alger.  What nice coloring on this card.  Lovely work Jan.

Elizabeth Hart designed a wonderful winter themed card using an adorable image from artist Cheryl Alger.  This image is called Sassy Sally's Winter Morning Social!  Her beautiful creation has blue and winter theme, just perfect for this week's challenge.

Charlene Mitchell designed this pretty card with an adorable owl and some background blues.  Great for winter theme.  The adorable owl is from artist Fawn Palmer, A Winter Owl too.   Beautiful work Charlene!

Lisa Minkler crafted this wonderful card with blues and just perfect for that upcoming Valentine's Day.  This adorable image is from artist Lynne Stansbery of two little kids hugging and is called "Oh Please Be Mine."  How adorable is that?  Her card says "I choose you."  That's sweet!

Tammy Hair created this heart warming card in beautiful shades of blue using a wonderful stamp from artist Cheryl Alger called Avery Celebrates With Cake.  She added a wonderful saying, "Happy Birthday" on a blue heart, just perfect for this week's challenge.  Don't you love her coloring of Avery?

 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Cheryl Alger called Avery Celebrates With Cake.  This adorable little girl could be used for any special occasion, but I created this Blue card for my Brother, whose birthday is Jan 14th.  Happy Birthday Bro!
