Sunday Stamps // #SSC352 ...A sketch challenge!!  Heidi has a fun sketch to inspire us called "Flying Through"!!  With snow in the forecast here in Florida, I thought it was fitting to create a snowflake card for this sketch.  How does this sketch inspire you??  We can't wait to see what you load into our gallery!!  Hop on over to our blog for all the challenge details and see how this fun sketch inspired the rest of the design team!!  I am sure seeing all their takes will get your creative juices flowing!!

3 other challenges inspired today's card...

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb246 ...A "retro" challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is "Winter Fun"!!  You can't have any winter fun without a bit of snow!!  My retro stamp is from Stampin Up's Good Greeting set (Sparkle) that came out as a Hostess set in 2014.  The punch that I used for my snowflake is very "retro" too...it is a Martha Stewart punch and is over 12 years old.

Cupcake Inspiration // #CI609 ...A cupcake inspired challenge!!  From this cupcake photo we are to use the colors magenta, purple, and pink.  I also used a snowflake since the cupcakes had snowflakes on them.

Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS539 ...A "shopping your stash" challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this new challenge is GLITTER ME HAPPY!!  That is right...we want to see your glitter!!  While it might not make you happy working with it because of the mess it makes, a card with glitter is sure to bring a smile!!  I dug in my stash and found this ultra fine glitter from Stampin Up that paired up perfectly with this new stencil that was just added to my stash.  I stenciled with VersaMark ink, used some heat and stick powder over it, heated it, sprinkled on my glitter, heated it again, and taadaa!!
