#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!

#26 - Metal on Mine

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'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!

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!

#23. Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' - Keep them Brayers Rollin'

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!!

We just keep 'a rollin' along around here.  Sometimes it's roll with the punches or get rolled over - but this week is just a little different.  We are asking you to roll along with us - with your brayer, that is...   This is a great technique for adding color with depth and texture to a project, and we wanna see how you do it!  Be sure to share what you make with us!  Until we meet again, "pardner", here are some brayer projects to get you rolling!

#22. It's Not Too Late in the Game to SCORE!

The assist is nice, but let's face it, everybody loves to score...  Wait a minute... we aren't talking March Madness here... we are talking scoring as a design element in crafting!  That's right!  Now I remember!  If you are looking to score this week, you better make it snappy - tomorrow at noon is the final buzzer!  If you need some coaching, check out the Lifeguards plays below!
