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!

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?

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!
