Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Happy 2014, welcome back to the challenges. I hope you were able to join in on our first challenge this year.  Last week, our challenge was to create a thank you card, and include some embossing.  The winner of last week's challenge was Debbi B who used a wonderful Shy Bear image Hi Bella from Lynne Stansbery.    Congrats!!

This week's challenge is SFC0213 Anything Goes! (show me what you got for Christmas)
 

  The challenge this week is Anything Goes.  This challenge is so you can share with us all those wonderful new goodies that you got for the holidays.  So, Anything Goes, show me what you got for Christmas!  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 bookmark using a brand new image from artist Cheryl Alger called  A Good Read Maddie.  I think it's just perfect to have a bookmark made from a cute girl reading a book! This image comes with 3 sayings and an additional image for only $4.

 

 Jan Marshall  created this fun card using a brand new image from artist Cheryl Alger called Father's Day Snooze.  What a darling card to make for all those men in your life.

 

 

Elizabeth Hart created an adorable card with a little girl and her flower.  This fun image is from artist Cheryl Alger and is called Buttercup Suzie.  She sure looks like she is ready for the spring time!

 

   

Charlene Mitchell used a beautiful new flower stamp from artist Elizabeta Kushner. It comes in a wonderful set of Flowers and Sentiments that contains three floral arrangements and three beautiful sayings for only $3!!  The sentiment she is using on this card is Birthday Wishes from artist Jess Holland.

 

Darlene Pavlick created this beautiful winter card using wonderful papers and beautiful die cuts with a great new stamp from artist Carmen Gamble named Winter Birds.  Don't you just love their cute little hats?

 

 

 Tammy Hair created a gorgeous animal card using a brand new image from one of our newest artists Enid Barnes.  This fun image is called Giraffe Headshot.  I just love her coloring on this image.



 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  am using a beautiful image from a brand new artist at Squigglefly, it's Enid Barnes.  She makes the most gorgeous animal images including this Barn Owl. As for me, my Christmas gifts I am sharing here is that fun twill in black and brown, those buttons, and that new 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!

Squigglefly Challenge #50, SFC5013 Use Red Somewhere, Anywhere

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last Squigglefly Challenge of 2013!  Don't worry, we'll be back soon, but we are going to have a short break during the holiday.  Last week the challenge was to create a holiday theme card.  The winner of last week's challenge was Leslie M who created a gorgeous card using Cardinal Birdhouse from Squigglefly artist Marla Shega..    Congrats!!

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

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

This week's challenge is SFC5013 Use Red Somewhere, Anywhere!
 

  The challenge this week is to add some red on your card.  This could be a LOT of red or just a little.  It can be your cardstock or your embellishments.  It could be your coloring or a fancy flower, anything red or go all out and make a monotone red card!  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 Christmas card.  She's using Cheryl Alger's  image called Figure Eight Style.  What a delightful winter stamp and she turned it into a stunning Christmas card.

 

 Jan Marshall  created this fun card using a brand new stamp from artist Cheryl Alger called Santa's Winking Star.    I love the shimmer I can see on her card from the glitter as well as the textured dots in the background of the window.  Delightful!

 

Elizabeth Hart created an adorable goodie bag for this week's challenge.  There's even RED candy in there, YUM!  This image is designed by artist Pamela Lehto and is called Rudolph Postage Stamp.   What a delightful gift to hand out during the holidays.

 

   

Charlene Mitchell used an adorable new santa stamp from artist Cheryl Alger called Santa's Winking Star.  The adorable Merry Christmas Sentiment is from artist Jess Holland.  She reused the adorable star from the Cheryl Alger stamp in the sentiment, what a cute idea!

 

Darlene Pavlick created this beautiful winter card using the image Two Snowmen from artist Pamela Lehto.  I just love the red winter theme background paper.  Don't you love that "snow button" on the snowman...that's too cute!  Lovely work Darlene!

 

 Tammy Hair created a gorgeous winter theme card using Snow Much Joy from artist Cheryl Alger.  Don't you love her beautiful coloring on this image?  the snowman looks like he's going to run right off that card!



 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  am using a brand new image from artist Carmen Gamble.  This image is called Steampunk Snowman.  I colored him up in black and white and added red highlights for his mittens and scarf.  Can't you just imagine driving by your neighbor's house and seeing a metal snowman?
