Now... onto THIS week's challenge:

SFC120- FACE YOUR FEARS

Halloween is coming...let's see some Halloween creations...the scarier, the better....OR, just face your fears! Spiders? Snakes? Heights? Let's see a creation that addresses what you fear! Fearless? Make something up! 

Show us your creativity and have fun!

This week, my team, Squigglefly's Marlene's Marvels
created the following this week for your inspiration:

JANE created this hilarious card!  I guess she's afraid of bats of the orange flowery type.  :)

Image is from the HALLOWEEN BUNCH set by artist Brian Lock.

Moving right along, we have this one (I can totally relate - I hate spiders!)

Laura used EEK! SPIDER! by artist Marlene S. 

Rhonda still believes witches are out there, and are real!  ;)

She used WITCH ON A PUMPKIN by artist Jackie Matthews.

I think I sense a recurring theme, here.  EEK!  Another spider!

If all spiders were this cute, though, I'm sure I wouldn't be so afraid of them.

Perhaps Rebecca wouldn't be either...teehee.

Rebecca used COTTAGE WINDOW by artist Deena Perreault.

Deena is more skeeved out by dust bunnies monsters under the bed! 

She says "NO! You can't make me clean under the bed!"

Deena used BED MONSTER by artist Marlene S.

Jan joins Rhonda in being scared of witches.

(Okay, I concede - they may have made that up....or I did...teehee.  It's entirely possible they were just going for the Halloween card theme, eh?)

Jan used WITCH MOON by artist Brian Lock.

And finally, last but not least, Marlene (that's me) had planned to keep the spider theme going.

(Come on, who is really afraid of a cute kitten in a jack-o-lantern?)

Alas, I thought I'd throw in a twist just to keep you all on your toes.

First - the spider card:

I used Halloween Kitty Boo! by artist Marla Shega for this one.

But since spiders were running rampant, and we needed to tone that down a bit,

out came the boobies!!  (More specifically, the dreaded annual squishy test otherwise known as the mammogram!)  Yes, I know it saves lives - my own mother is a 21 year survivor.  :)  Still, the contraption scares the heebie jeebies out of me.

For this one, I used LIVE A LITTLE by artist Marlene S. (That's me.)

Hope you enjoyed our creations today!
We showed you ours...

Now - let's see yours!

Now... onto THIS week's challenge:

SFC119- YIPES STRIPES

Use stripes somewhere on your card.

They can be part of the image, background paper or an embellishment.
Show us your creativity and have fun!

This week, my team, Squigglefly's Heather's Headliners
created the following for your inspiration:

Terri used "Nerd Boy Skeleton"by artist Marlene S. (you'll see her name several times today). Terri cleverly created a whole scene worthy of the Addam's family. Fantastic details like the fence and a popped up pumpkin. Boo!

Tammy chose "Nerd Girl Witch" by artist Marlene S. Check out the cool toned stripes and the angled sentiment with stars. What lovely coloring- so many shades of purple.

Holley showed off "Nerdy Cat Girl" by artist Marlene S (again). Notice the neutral with a splash of orange color palette and the sideways sentiment.

Debbie used "Hugs" by Angela Donato and the accompanying "Sending you Hugs" sentiment by Jess Holland. What beautiful coloring and such soft colors. Aren't the flowers, fussy cut sentiment feminine and sweet and perfect for the image?

Peggy used "Nerdy Girl Witch" by you guessed it- Marlene S. Very cool crisscrossed ribbon and a sparkly vertical sentiment.

Stephanie used "Shy Bear- Caring Bear" by artist Lynne Stansbery. I love the contrast of the papers and did you notice the messages of hope on the white layer?

Pat used "Witch on a Pumpkin" created by artist Jackie Matthews. Don't miss how Pat fussy cut the main image so it looks like the bat are flying and the vines are growing! Love the added touch of glitz on the hat band and broom too.

Stock Up...on Inspiration!

We've just added tons of new cards to the Idea Gallery. If you're feeling low on inspiration, or just need a creative pick-me-up, head over and take a peek!http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Follow up to last weekend's incident

As many of you already know, when attempting to access Squigglefly.com several days ago, there was a message about the site being hacked. I just wanted to assure everyone that Squigglefly.com was not hacked. It was our parent server that was hacked, and because of that, all sites it hosted gave the appearance of being hacked. All of our files and records are secure.

I also wanted to let everyone know that Squigglefly.com does not retain ANY credit card, debit card, or banking information on its servers. ALL of our purchases are handled through PayPal, and Squigglefly never sees, or stores, any sensitive information.

If you have any questions or concerns about the "hacking" incident, please don't hesitate to email me at squigglefly@squigglefly.com.

Thanks!

You can paper piece an item of clothing, an object or a sentiment. Be creative! 
Let's see your paper piecing pizzazz!

This week, Squigglefly's Marlene's Marvels (yeah! MY TEAM) 
created the following for your inspiration:

Rebecca used a Squigglefly FREEBIE, "Fight Like a Girl"

and did an awesome job paper piecing the ribbon.

Laura, who is joining us for the first time (filling in for Dana while she is taking a short leave of absence) has put together this cute little card, paper piecing the hat and sentiment, featuring
Octi-Thanks by artist Mark Hicks.

Kim used Simple Pumpkin by artist Jane Beljo.
I just love how she duplicated the pumpkin and paper-pieced each one differently.

Jan paper pieced the hammock using the image Baby Hammock
by artist Eline Pellinkhof. Awwww!  Adorable, isn't it?

 
Stephanie put together this adorable little monster card featuring
Monster Mania:Smiley by artist Jane Beljo

And finally, Marlene (that's me) paper pieced grampa's shirt (making him look like he never updated his wardrobe) using the Stone Age set by artist Marlene S. (yeah, me again)
