Luckily, Saturdays mean Crazy 4 Challenges time....and that totally fits the atmosphere in this house this weekend! Our challenges this month are being created by our stamping sister, Lori Boyd, and this week's was to create a card using her sketch. I decided to use one of the new Verve set "Love's Flower", and paired it with some Esther's Guest List patterned papers from KaiserScrapbook. The image was stamped in Chocolate Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, and then colored in Bermuda with a Blender Pen. I also created a paper flower, sprayed it with Glimmer Mist, and heat embossed it to make it hard (thanks, Susie...great tip, sister!). After some stitching, some brads, and a scalloped panel...you have my completed card!Now let's see what the rest of the design team have created for you to peruse:
- Barbara Anders
- Cindy Haffner
- Frances Byrne
- Jessica Diedrich
- Jessie Rone
- Joanne Grzelak
- Joycelyn Turner
- Lori Boyd
- Lynda Benden

- Vicki Garrett
That's it for today...thanks for stopping by! It's your turn to create a card or project using this same sketch, and share it with us. Be sure to add your creation to Mister Linky back at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog post...we can't wait to see what you come up with! Until later...
