Squigglefly Challenge #4, SFC0414 Have a Heart Please

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's Squigglefly Challenge. I hope you were able to join in on last week's fun.  Last week, our challenge was to create a CAS or Clean And Simple Card.  The winner of the challenge was Stephanie for using J'Adore Paris by Squigglefly artist Louise Gardener!   Congrats!!

Please contact Holly at usyungs@gmail.com for your prize.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week's challenge is SFC0414 Have a Heart, Please!
 
  The challenge this week is Have A Heart, Please! Please use a heart on your card somewhere.  This could be a heart inside your image, a heart embellishment, diecut hearts, heart printed ribbon, heart paper, heart brad, or even a heart shaped card! Show us your hearts.  You are welcome to  make a Valentine, but as the Hobbyists show you in their examples, you don't have to have a Valentine theme. We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.
Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin created this wonderful using pretty heart paper as her background.  These adorable stamps are from artist Pamela Lehto  called  Country Kids Set 3.  What an adorable couple with a cute "Life is Good" sentiment.

 
 Jan Marshall  created this gorgeous card using a brand new stamp called  Elephant from our newest Squigglefly artist Enid Barnes.  She added a very elegant frame and heart decor to her card along with a  gold tag for Happy 60th!
 
 
Elizabeth Hart created an adorable card using a brand new stamp from our new artist Enid Barnes.  This stamp is Boston Terrier.  The fun Squigglefly Sentiment she has added is just perfect!  I love her heart paper as well as the heart embellishments.
 
   
Charlene Mitchell used a beautiful heart shaped brad on the sentiment A Big Little Hello along with a brand new image from Carmen Gamble's Sweet Pea Twins Plant.  What gorgeous paper she used, is that hearts I see on it?
 
 
Darlene Pavlick created this love filled card using a stunning image from Pamela Lehto called Ruffled Frame as well as using another image from the same artist called Cup of Hearts.  Don't you love how she used the same Hearts on the base of the card?

 

 Tammy Hair created a card full of hearts using a wonderful new image from artist Cheryl Alger called  Noah, Tweety, and Waldo.   Don't you just love the sequin bling she added?

 
And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  am using a beautiful image from Squigglefly artist Pamela Lehto called Country Kids 1.  She's covered in hearts on her dress, but I also added hearts on the board of my background, the Happy day sentiment I used, and there's tiny hearts on the top and bottom of my die cut!
 
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!

A New Year, A New Artist, and New Images!

Hi everyone.  We hope you have enjoyed your Christmas and New Year celebrations.  We are excited to have our challenges start back on Monday, but we are even more excited for tomorrow because Janaury's release is chock full of great images!

We are very happy to let you know that Enid Barnes will be joining Squigglefly's group of artists!  You will love her realistic animals!  Enid does her artwork in a technique known as pointillism, and we know you will be amazed and fall in love with her work just as all of us have.

So, check the store out tomorrow and come back here on Monday to play in our first challenge of 2014!
