Squigglefly Challenge #6 SFC0612 Have a Heart, Please!

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!


Are you ready for a new contest? Well, first let me announce who won last week. There were so many wonderful submissions. We had over thirty players. Wow! Thanks to all who participated last week for the birthday card contest. The winner is Tip Top with a wonderful card featuring Rah Rah Rhonda from artist Chesney Young.


Please contact Holly, usyungs@gmail.com, for your prize.

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

Now, on for this week's challenge, SFC0612 this week the theme is called "Have a Heart, Please"

Being the week of Valentines, let's all show some heart. You just need to have a heart on your card, a heart shaped card, a heart in your image, a heart shaped embellishment, a heart shape in the background....or how about some hearts everywhere? It doesn't have to be Valentine themed, as long as you are showing me your heart.




Here's some wonderful samples to inspire you. There's so many incredible new stamps in the store this week! We just got a wonderful new artist named Linda Birkinshaw. Here's some wonderful stamps from this artist. Check out the fun ideas from Holley's Hobbyists:

Pat Martin used a wonderful image called Rabbit Symphony from arist Linda Birkinshaw. What a lovely serenade and sentiment.
Theresa Gerber made this sweet card with some lovebirds, or should i say "lovedogs" called Puppy Love by Linda Birkinshaw .
Shawna Sealander did a sweet card using one of the image available from Diane Knotts Sewing Hearts




Charlene Mitchell used Spotty Fun from new artist Linda Birkinshaw.


Tammy Hair created this adorable polka dot card with a huge heart (both literally and figuratively) using Valentine Pup from artist Linda Birkinshaw


And lastly, I (Holley from Holley's Blog) created this card with Easter Sundae from artist Linda Birkinshaw. I think there is love in the air on this card. Any man who brings me ice cream knows the way to my heart!!



I hope these samples leave you guys with some wonderful ideas for making a card in our challenge this week. Here's some rules for playing in our challenge:

We realize that many people don't have blogs, but instead participate in our challenges using on-line galleries. We love that you are helping us spread the word about Squigglefly!

To help us make sure we don't miss your artwork, we are asking that if you do use an online gallery that you leave us a comment on the challenge post. That way we'll be sure to have a member of the Squigglefly team who is a member of that gallery (SCS, CDAC, PCP, etc) can validate your entry.

1.) If you up-load your creation to any on-line photo galleries, please use SFC0612 for your keywords when loading your creation photo there. 1b) please leave a comment on the challenge blog post so that someone from Squigglefly can validate your entry for the prize.

Don't have one? There are several FREEBIES you can grab from the Squigglefly store, hop on over there. Those images will qualify you for the prize.

3) You have one week to complete the challenge and it will close Sunday evening. The winner will be announced at the same time the new challenge post comes up...so be sure to check back EVERY Monday to see if you are a winner!
