Hi everyone!  Lisa here with our photo inspiration challenge.  I wanted to find something fresh and summery, so I chose this photo of white chocolate dipped strawberries.  My mouth is watering already!  Here is a larger view of the photo.

Chic of the Week #198

Hello Juggie friends!  When I saw the DT's creations for the challenge, I was floored with all of their stunning creations!!  The icing on the cake was all of the fabulous creations the rest of you entered!!!!!  WOWZERS!!!!  I am so glad you enjoyed the colors as much as I did.  I have to say that I had to look at all of the entries multiple times, and I'm so bad at picking just ONE favorite, so I'll cheat a little :)

Thanks to everyone who played along with our Color Challenge!!  This week our CHIC OF THE WEEK is:

Tracy with these Bathing Beauties!
I guess I have a thing for sagging "parts", lol!  I LOVE the perfect blend of the pinks & oranges with a splash of blue.  And her coloring is beautiful!

I also want to give a shout out to Marlene for this fabulous card!
I love the popped up flowers and leaves, the background and the splash of Washi!

One more shout out to Sonia for this adorable "under the sea" card.

Tracy, please email me for your chic of the week badge (tangii at tangiink dot com) Thanks again to everyone who played along, we hope to see you all here tomorrow for our next challenge!

Chic of the week #196

Happy Friday Everyone,

It's time to announce the Chic of the Week based off of last week's sketch challenge #196.
I had so much fun seeing everyone's different interpretation of what to do
with the circles that were on my sketch.
The cards varied with so many different themes as well!
We had Halloween, Bumble Bees, Cupcakes, Christmas and more!

Okay, Get on with it Nancy......right!

The Chic if the Week is....
Donna

Congratulations Donna!!

I loved the way Donna used a piece of Acetate from a Nestabilites
package and covered her circles to create her under water aquarium.

Not only is her card brilliant and adorable...she also reused and recycled!
You go girl!

Please email me at Wer4art@aol.com and I will send you your badge.

Hope you have a fantastic weekend, and be sure to check back tomorrow for
a FABULOUS technique challenge by my talented team-mate Maria.
I had the BEST time with her technique this week
 and I know you will too!

Happy Creating,
Nancy

JUGS # 196 Sketch Challenge

Hello Craftin Friends,

Nancy here and I am thrilled to be hosting this week's Sketch Challenge.
Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, however you chose to spend it!

Whenever I need to give my mojo a quick kick in the you know what,
 the first thing I do is to go looking for a sketch.  

Well, look no further.... here is one I hope you will like!

Remember you can replace the given shapes with shapes

of your choosing, just as long as the sketch is recognizable!

The most important thing is to get loose and have fun with it!

Now for my team's fabulous creations!  They hit this one out of the park!
