Blogger's Challenge 87-Inspriration Challenge

Thanks God it's Friday because that means it's time for another Blogger's Challenge. This we were were given a picture and were supposed to make a card using it for inspiration. You can see the picture below my card. I had fun with this one. Got to use a new toy I just got-the tags die. Love it! The background is stamped with a stamp from the Friends 24-7 set and then spritzed with Rose Red ink. This will be number 27 in the Your Hired Series.




Here is the inspiration piece in case you would like to play along! We would love to have you.

Whachadoin' Wednesday Challenge #28

Now that Valentines is out of the way it is time to start thing about other things....hence this week's challenge. Create a treat holder for St. Patty's Day or a Favor for a Wedding our Shower. You can pick which ever theme works for you as long as you have fun with it! We would love to see what you create so be sure to come on back and leave us a link.

Be sure to use the keyword SUINKWWC28 when posting on line.

Here is mine.

I chose the wedding favor. This is a bottle of wine with the a label that says Thanks for sharing our day! That is the favor and then this little altered picture frame is being used as the pl;ace card. Goin' to the Chapel is such a fun set with all the cute wedding images. Did you notice the wine charms hanging on the bottle -- one for the bride and one for the groom. I had lots of fun with this set. (I actually gave my blog readers a sneak peek of the bottle at the beginning of the month but not the place card.

Hope you have a GREAT day!
