Tamiko's Thursday Teasers - Color Challenge

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope your week is going well. I have some news to share ... I'll be a guest CT member for Tamiko's during the months of September and October! My first assignment was the Surprise Blog Hop for Cami, which was so much fun to do! I hope you had a chance to play along.

On to my next assignment. This week's "Thursday Teaser" is a color challenge. We were to use pink, green and brown on our creations. I used an image and sentiment from TGF set "Me Time Anya" which can be purchased from Tamiko's, here.

Tamiko's Challenge #5

I'm back! Yes, I'm alive and well. For the most part. I had some x-rays taken yesterday to confirm a pinched nerve in my neck, which is causing my left arm and hand to feel kinda weak. It's a pretty weird feeling. ANYHOO, it's time for Tamiko's Challenge #5! Take a look at my card ... can you tell what the challenge is? If you guessed FLOWERS, you're correct! The challenge this month is to create a card or 3D project incorporating flowers!

Head on over to Tamiko's blog here for the deets! The deadline to enter is Sunday, July 25, 2010. Can't wait to see all your wonderful creations! Good luck!

Another challenge!

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I really enjoyed mine because I can't believe it's over already! You know that old saying "time flys when you're having fun"? Geez, I must've had a TON of fun this weekend! Anyhoo, in case you didn't know, it's time for Tamiko's Challenge #2! She's giving away one of my new fav Nestabilities to one lucky winner! Obviously I can't play in the challenge, but here's a card I made for Joy using Nesties, since that's what the challenge requires.

For all the details on the challenge, head on over to Tamiko's blog, or you can check it out here. Hope you're all gonna participate and I look forward to seeing all your fantastic Nesties creations! Have a great week everyone!

It's a challenge!

Happy Monday everyone! Did you all have a nice weekend? I sure hope you did! If you've been following me, you know that I was asked to be on Tamiko's design team. Since she is such a giving person, Joy wanted to share something special with all of you! Of course, you'll have to do a little work for it. Heehee! So, here we go! It's an Easter Challenge and Joy promises that it's an easy one!

Here's what you need to do:

• Create an EASTER themed card
• Use any sketch you want - it's your choice!
• Use only pastel colors
• Post the card on your blog or on-line gallery and use Mr. Linky on Joy's blog here.

The WINNER will be chosen by Tamiko's DT and will be able to choose ONE of the following Greeting Farm stamps to add to their collection:

• Camille
• Ebony
• Stella
• Ruby or
• Easter Anya

The deadline for the challenge will be the end of the month (March 31st) and the winner will be announced by April 3 (Saturday).

The DT made some Easter cards to get everyone in the mood to create for this challenge. Here is my contribution using Easter Anya:

I used the puffy glue again on her bunny ears. Believe it or not, this is the very first Easter card I've ever made! It's not my best work, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Again, the deadline for the challenge is March 31st and the winner will be announced by April 3rd. Please be sure to check out all the DT's creations here and don't forget to visit Mr. Linky for your chance to win! Good luck!
