Baby Challenge Inspiration From You!

Our challenge this week is a baby theme and we kicked it off with a wonderful surprise blog hop for Kris! So far we have some wonderful entries submitted into the challenge and today we're going to feature two of those projects for inspiration. Remember, the challenge ends tomorrow and the winner will be posted on Sunday - so get those creative juices flowing!

This first project is from Julia's Paper Place which demonstrates how simple and elegant a white card can be. I love how the splash of blue draws you in and all the embossing details keeps it interesting.


This other inspiring project is from Sugarpea Designs. Instead of a card it's actually a door hanger and reminds me that not all projects have to be cards! ;D I love the image she used and the combination of browns and blues adds a sophisticated appeal that's great for home decor.


Great job ladies and thank you for participating! I hope these projects have inspired the rest of you and we hope you'll join us for our baby challenge this week!

Guest Designer Spotlight - Danni

It's time to introduce and welcome our very first Guest Designer! We'd like you to meet Danni who is our August Guest Designer joining us this month.

"Let's see, about me! My name is Danni, US Army wife to Sam and SAHM to Matthew and Annabelle. We are currently stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. I have been scrapbooking for about 12 years and stamping for about 5. Creating is my passion and I just can't get enough!! I also love animals and hope to one day work in a zoo. We have two dogs at home, Freckles and Daisy. I have a blog: http://dannisdreamscrafts.blogspot.com and love the world of blogging. I also love butterflies and fairies and have my own challenge but am looking forward to working with the Lollipop Crafts challenge!"

Some of you may already be familiar with her work but you should hop on over to her blog anyway - it's is full of wonderful creations and I absolutely love the variety of layouts she uses! (And to top it all off, her favorite soda is a Dr. Pepper! She takes after my own heart.)

Here's one of her gorgeous cards which is from her "In The Clouds..." posts - just one of the many fabulous pages in her "Tutorials, Tips & How-To" section. I love it - these clouds are so versatile and can be done with almost any image.


That card is a cutie! Thanks Danni for joining us - we are thrilled to have you on the team and look forward to working together!

We appreciate YOU!!

We are so happy that so many of you have joined in on our first challenge! 

We'd like to highlight a few of your cards to inspire those who haven't entered to enter! 

Remember, the challenge this week is an easy one, anything goes!!
