#27. "This little light of mine..." Spotlight Challenge!

We are a group of great friends from all over the place, who wanted to start a stress-free challenge site. This will be a weekly challenge, and there will always be something here for you to see or try. Individually, as designers, we may not all be here every week because we are busy just like you!! So 'take the plunge' when you can or stop by to be inspired, even if you don't have time to "play". Make sure you don't miss a week of inspiration by subscribing to our site on the right!

This week we are excited to host a technique challenge!  Have you done the "spotlight technique"?  Maybe you haven't done this in awhile?  Well, now is your chance to get back in the action!  We will show you a little about what we can do, but then we want to see what YOU can do... We'll show you ours if you'll show us yours!  You have until next Wednesday to get your item uploaded for all to see!  We can hardly wait!  Let your light shine!

This week's challenge is all about embellishments...not just any little magical piece that jazzes up your paper crafts...but something made from metal!   It could be something as simple as a button or brad, or perhaps a piece of sheet metal...the sky is the limit!  Give it a go and add some texture and interest to your cards with metal embellishments!

Take a look at our designs, then be sure to add your own!

#25 - Paper Pumpkin variation

We are a group of great friends from all over the place, who wanted to start a stress-free challenge site.

I don't know about you but I am so excited when I get the e-mail saying my Paper Pumpkin has shipped.  I can't wait to get it and see what goodies I have for the month.  I also sometimes find I don't need 7 (or whatever amount they include in the kit) of the same cards.  I often try to find other ways to use the items in the kit.  Check out what we came up with for our variations!

March is here, and you know what they say, "In like a lion, out like a lamb", well, let's roar into action with a great animal card.  You can do it anyway you want, stamps, punch art, or even origami - we just want you to use some kind of animal in your project this week.  Check out our zoo!
