JIC - March "Anything with Bling"

Happy Weekend everyone!  Finally March is here, which means a new monthly challenge at Just Inspirational Challenges.  This month we're sponsored by Flourish with a Bling, and the lucky winner will get a gift certificate to the shop!!!

The theme for this month's challenge is Anything Goes - with Bling!

I decided to use one of the newer releases from The Stamping Chef called Fairy Dust.  Isn't she so cheeky?  She was so cute I wanted to let the image "shine" for itself, and kept the card Clean and Simple. 

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to play along - you have a month to get your Bling on!!

I'm entering this make in the following challenges: 

The Stamping Chef - Anything Goes

Jellypark - Things with Wings

JIC - Ladies and Flat Friends

Happy Tuesday!  This week at Just Inspirational Challenges we're moving away from the Valentines everyone else is doing - but keeping it feminine and romantic.  The theme is

Ladies!

This week's sponsor is Emma Canning and her Flat Friends Boutique, and the lucky winner wins four digis from her shop.  

My little dog is my best friend, so I was immediately drawn to the image Walkies

The first image I was given to work with was Cupid 2, available here..  She comes with or without wings, and is available starting today.  Perfect for a Valentine or Anniversary card!

I used my Spica pen to add sparkle to the wing tips

When an image is this cute, it makes putting the rest of the card together pretty easy!  I used some Bo Bunny papers and rub-ons, added a ribbon from the dollar store and stamped a heart from Close To My Heart - and voila!

Happy New Year from JIC!

Hi everyone and happy New Year!
I'm so excited to announce JIC has gone through some changes and is going into 2014 better than ever. Fantastic sponsors have been lined up including Dilly Beans, The Paper Shelter, Sassy Studio Designs, Kenny K, and MANY more.  Check out the full list here, there are sure to be some new artists you've never seen!
January's monthly challenge at Just Inspirational Challenges is about New Beginnings.  It can be however you interpret it - new job, new family, new resolution.

This month's sponsor is Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the prize is a $10 gift certificate to the shop, located here.

I decided to use the Saturated Canary image Cinders.  What better story of new beginnings than Cinderella starting her new life....and considering it all happened at the stroke of midnight I thought a New Year card fit the theme perfectly.
