A little sneak peek...

So I've started designing for Stuck On U Sketches (the die cut team) and my first design goes live on the 14th (that's Friday!).  Here's a sneak peek of my first challenge:

To see the whole project, you can visit me over at The Feast or hop over to Stuck On U and get inspired by the talented ladies I get to work with!

A Happy Little Challenge

Hello All! As promised, here's my project for the Rose Blossom Garden inaugural challenge:

The challenge, as you may recall, was to create something using the "Happy Birthday" key on the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge. The hot air balloon image is one of my favorites on the whole cartridge, so I knew I wanted to use it. I decided to go with a little welcome sign for my front door. (Because of our storm door, anything we hang on the front has to be relatively flat.) So this is what I came up with. I've listed out all the particulars here.

Hope you enjoy it! It makes me smile every time I see it! By the way, did you know that this cartridge (in fact, this very key) coordinates with the April Stamp Of The Month: My Sunshine? It does! I'll show you more with that in the upcoming weeks. But you can check it out now by going here.

Have a fabulously creative weekend!

IT'S HERE!!!!!

Hi All!
Just wanted to give a shout out to the brand-spankin'-new challenge blog:

The Rose Blossom Garden!

The blog launches today with the first challenge: see what you can do with the "Happy Birthday" Key on the Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge. What do ya think? Are you up for it? What if I told you there were PRIZES involved?

So here's how it works. Each month you will be given 2 challenges: one on the first of the month and one on the 15th. Each challenge will involve a single key on one of the CTMH Cricut cartridges. You may choose to play in one or both challenges, it's up to you. (I happen to be designing for the 2nd challenge of each month, so I'm a little partial to those.) ;) At the end of each challenge (so that's twice a month) we (the design team and our lovely leader, Brenda Rose) will choose 3 Top Projects for that challenge. Then, at the end of the month, we will choose a Top Project for the month and do a random drawing from among the participants for the monthly prize--which will be  a Close To My Heart stamp set that coordinates with our Cricut cartridges. (How cool is that?!) April's winner will receive the Perfect Fit Frames stamp set.

I'll be posting my answer to the current challenge soon. I'm so excited to be a part of this. There is SO MUCH that you can do with these cartridges!

So go check it out and play along! If you don't have the Artiste cartridge yet, you can purchase it here! Happy Creating!
