Squigglefly Challenge #30, SFC3012 Speak to Me

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? Well first let me tell you about last week's winner.  The contest last week was to use paper piercing as part of your project.  The winner was Carolyn of Luvmycards. She created a wonderful card using Lynne Stansbery's image and saying from My Punny Valentine #4.  She then did her paper piercing as the wave effects coming off of the fan image. So clever!

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

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

Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC3012 Speak to Me

This week's challenge is very simple.  Just add a saying to your card.  This can be in addition to your image or instead of your image.  You can use an image that comes with a saying or create your own saying, add a stamped saying, a computer generated saying, a sticker saying, a handwritten saying, a vellum saying or any embellishment type of saying. Check out all the amazing sayings at the Squigglefly site for only $0.99!!

  We can't wait to see it. 

If you would like some inspiration,  check out these samples from the Holley Hobbyists.

Pat Martin created this clever project which is a box that opens up!  what a cute idea.  Can you imagine giving someone a little box that says, "Feelin' Froggy?"  well, guess what when they open it up?  HA!  This adorable stamp and saying are sold together created by artist Diane Garrison.

Jan Marshall  made this cute and funny card with a wonderful stamp from artist Lynne Standberry.  It's called Busted.  I just love that sentiment, "If I had the choice....I'd chew shoe!"  Ha!  Any card that makes me laugh, that's perfect.  What a delight.

Elizabeth Hart designed this adorable card with a new image from Fawn Palmer.  Isn't her card a delight?  This digi-stamp is called "In the palm of my hand."  It's so precious.  I love her birdie papers and cute saying to go with it!

Charlene Mitchell shares an adorable angel card using Coffee Angel from artist Suzanne Urban.  I just love the saying she added here, too cute!  I think I would need my coffee flavoured as well.  The saying shown is sold with the image as well.

Lisa Minkler crafted this darling card.  She is using Butterfly Beauties from artist Diane Garrison.  What an amazing and elegant card.  I just love her flowers and diecuts.

Tammy Hair created an adorble card using a new stamp from artist Fawn Palmer called "Beach Babe."  This wonderful image comes with 4 sayings too for only $3.00!!  Isn't she the cutest? I just love Tammy's card.  Check out the great sayings that come with her on the Squigglefly blog.

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a wonderful image called "SteamPunk" from artist Fawn Palmer.  I added my own saying here because she is holding a key and I had an adorble key diecut that I wanted to match the saying.  But this stamp also comes with a saying "Keep calmn and goggles on."

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card this week. Now run out and make a card to play along with us.  Be sure to include a sentiment on it.  To be eligible for the prize, use a sentiment or an image from Squigglefly.  Cheers!

Squigglefly Challenge #28, SFC2812 I Give Thee, A Recipe

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? First let me welcome the new team members that I told you about last time.  WELCOME Jan, Elizabeth, and Lisa!  Secondly, let me say "Huge thanks" to team member Theresa, as she served us well and we will miss her lots. Thanks for being on our team.  Hugs.

   Now let me tell you about last week's winner!  The requirement for last week's challenge was to use paper piecing as part of your project.  The winner for that challenge is Carolyn from Luv My Cards who created a wonderful Paper Piecing using Future Astronaut from Cheryl Alger.  Congrats!

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

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

Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC2812 I Give Thee, a Recipe

The recipe, in addition to an image is the following three things:

1) ribbon or lace;

2) brad or eyelets;

3) die cut(s) which may be store bought, or hand cut, or hand punched, or cut with your own machine, or used to cut out your stamped image, or used to cut the shape of your card;

Combine these three things, your image (you must use a Squigglefly image to be eligible for the prize, but it is not required to play along), and any other goodies you would like to share on your card.  We can't wait to see it.  If you would like some inspiration,  check out these samples from the Holley Hobbyists.

Pat Martin created this card using a stamp called Something's Fishy by Mike Eustis.  I love the unique fold she's done with her card and the marbled paper she used!

Jan Marshall  made this beautiful card using This Little Piggy went Shopping by artist Suzanne Urban.  Check out the adorable saying she added!  Clever!  I just love her coloring and that amazing die cut and so many layers to her paper.  Her saying is perfect, sure gives a new meaning to "this little piggy went to market" huh? 

Elizabeth Hart designed this adorable card with This Little Piggy went Shopping from artist Suzanne Urban.  I often like to see multiple designs using the same image.  Isn't it great to see how different that Jan and Elizabeth's cards look using the same image?  I love the warm colors that Elizabeth chose below with cute lace and ribbon both!!

Charlene Mitchell shares a wonderful card  using "The Old Gray Mare" by artist Lynne Stansbery. This adorable image comes with a couple of fun sayings.  She included one on the inside of her card, shown below.  I just love her lace, brad and die cut combo! 

 Inside her card:

Lisa Minkler crafted this wonderful card.  Don't you love her coloring?  how about that amazing stitching?  She's using "The Old Gray Mare" by artist Lynne Stansbery.  This image comes with additional sayings that are not shown on the card!

Theresa Gerber designed this card using Dangerous Wizard from artist Mike Eustis.  How adorable!  It's been so wonderful having Theresa on our team.  Be sure and leave her some love in the comments section below.  This stamp from Mike Eustis is just adorable and perfect for boy themed cards.  Delightful.

Tammy Hair created a fun card using The Old Gray Mare by artist Lynne Stansbery.  She is also using one of the sayings that comes with the stamp, "You don't stop laughing because you grow old.  You grow old because you stop laughing."  Isn't it amazing to see three different looks with the same stamp?  check out all of the design teams ideas with this image!

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a wonderful image from Mike Eustis called I Love NY. Isn't this image just adorable?  I added some adorable lace, tiny metallic blue brads, and some great flourish style die cuts from Sizzix.

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card this week. Now run out and find the three items you need to make a card for this week's challenge!

Squigglefly Challenge #26 - SFC2612 Summer Color

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Are you ready for this week's challenge? First let me make some important announcements.  The first one is that we have three new designers joining us on the Hobbyist Team next week, so get ready to welcome: Jan Marshall, Elizabeth Hart, and Lisa Minckler!  Secondly, we are wishing thanks to our team member Shawna for her wonderful work as this is her last week with us.  Hugs and we hope to see you playing along with us in the future.  Please take a moment and leave her a little love in the comment section below for all her great designs over the last six months!

We didn't have a winner for last week's challenge. So for THIS challenge Holly has decided to add the previous week's prizes to the current prize so this week's prize is THREE digi-stamps of your choice from the store.  WOW.  So if you win this week's prize, Woo Hoo!! 
Remember to win the Challenge, you must use a digi-stamp from Squigglefly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC2612 Summer Color

Summer Color?  What is yours?  Do you love orange for the sun?  maybe it's yellow for the sun;  perhaps you love blue for the ocean or tan for the sand.  Maybe you are a pink girl because you always wore a cute little pink polka dot bikini.  Maybe your summer color is red because the first thing you associate with summer is that awful sunburn!  Well, tell me what your summer color is...the challenge this week is doesn't mean you have to create a summer theme card, just that you PICK one color that you associate with summer and create your card in that color! Tell me why you picked that color. Check out these samples to inspire you from the Holley Hobbyists done in their favorite summer color.

Pat Martin created this card using a stamp called Sassy Sally Queen of Mean by artist Cheryl Alger.  She says her summer color is Pink. "I love the pinks of summer-flowers, sunsets, children's cheeks."  Too adorable, just like this image!

Theresa Gerber designed this card using Video Gamer from artist Fawn Palmer.  Her summer color is blue "Did it in hues of blue, cause summer reminds me of the sea and the blue sky, we stayed next to the sea at a stage, where it took me 2 minutes to walk down to the waters, which i absolutely love, still love watching the waves, makes me feel calm."

Shawna Sealander crafted this beautiful card in blue.  She says "Blue is my summer color...clear, gorgeous blue skies, blue water for kayaking, the blue flowers that are a rare find in a garden."  That makes me smile and think of the highways here in Texas where the State Flower is the Blue Bonnet.  This adorable stamp is called Sassy Sally Inner Tube by artist Cheryl Alger.  Just Perfect for those summer theme cards.  Thanks for all your great work Shawna!  You will be missed.

Charlene Mitchell shares a wonderful card using Bently Bears Bit of Gossip from artist Cheryl Alger.  Too cute!!  She says, "When things start to turn green it's a sign of new growth and nature changing around us. This brighter green is cheerful and is just a true summer colour to me! (and it was difficult sticking to one colour - normally I'd add pops of colour!!)"  Great Job Charlene!!

Tammy Hair created a beautiful summer theme card in bright pink and green because she says "bright neon colors indicate summer fun!"  I love the adorable saying she put on her card "Why does the flamingo stand on one foot?"  her response to that question--Because if he lifted both legs, he would fall down!  HA!  This adorable image is called Party Flamingo by artist Suzanne Urban.

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  created this card using a wonderful image from artist Fawn Palmer called Latte Break.  In addition to the cute saying here, the image comes with two more sassy sayings!  I chose orange as my summer color because I live in south Texas and the first thing you see every morning is a bright orange ball in the sky that will heat up the entire day to a blistering heat!

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card this week! Now think about your favorite summer color and show it to us!  Your card doesn't have to be summer theme, just done in your favorite summer color.  We can't wait to see it.
