TLC and Me ...

A Big WELCOME to the  TLC BLOG HOP and my little corner.

Thank you for stopping by and looking around........... hope you will have some fun reading this and looking at my card ...........:))

The next person on the hop is ............. THEA

I am sure all of you know Paulette of Create With TLC and have been to her blog many a times , not only because she is one of the most generous people i know, but there is so much inspiration to see! She regularly post cards of creations made with her images , and it is so interesting seeing the many different interpretation of an image on one blog !
Not only does she have 'WORDART' for absolutely anything/any occasion , but also such a diverse selection of images.
The image i used, was one of her freebies and i particularly liked the simplicity and vintage style to it , i am a total fan of Vintage................lol
I don't get as much time to play with them as i would have liked, anybody know the secret to longer days, please let me know...................hehehe
This is a perfect image to use for a CAS challenge ..:))
Enough of all this talking, let me show you and you tell me what you think......
Image slightly colored with copic's , placed on a embossed b/g , papers from my stash, ribbon and pearls also from my stash and lastly, but not the least , some Prima Flowers !!

Anything Goes at Guylou's............

One BIG DREAM Come True !!

Anything Goes Challenge:::


I know! I know! When you read "Anything Goes"  you get all excited, ready to link your latest creation. That's name of the game .......LOL.  But first thing first, the winner of the " I {{Heart}}You" Challenge is:

Chris Olsen
Congratulations!!


Ok... Now that that is out of the way! Let me give you the details of the new challenge at Guylou's Inimitability Blog. Yes... it's an "Anything Goes" challenge. That's the easy part. But, please make sure you follow the 'Challenge Policy' listed in the left margin of this blog. That's important, as some entries did not count in the last challenge because they did not abide with the policy. Make sure you read and follow it.

The winner will be awarded a digistamp of her choice from Guylou's Inimitability Store and will also be invited to be a Guest Designer on an upcoming challenge and will get another GI digistamp to make a card or project along the DT.

The inimitable Guylou's Inimitability Design Team got to play with the feature digistamps called "Phillip" and "Molly". "Phillip" and "Molly" are hard working people in an industry that is not always appreciative of their service. Next time you go to a restaurant, please take a moment to thank your waitress and send a good word to the cook, that will make their day.

The Design Team created wonderful projects with these digistamps and i  invite you to visit their blogs by clicking on the images to get all the details of their works.

The Guest Designer - that's moi ...............:))

I created this card with MOLLY and it was such fun, i hope that you will agree with me !!




You will have until March 3rd, 10:00 pm (EST or click here to find out the corresponding time where you are) to enter your cards or projects here. Be sure to add the link to your entry and not your whole blog as this makes it much easier on the team to find your creations.

Dudes are doing a sketch.....................

Yeah, you heard me, we are having a sketch challenge and such a lovely one too, i simply love sketches, just seem to get it together so much quicker, don't ya think ??? One thing i just love is when they say ..." This event happens every month" ...... , i just wanna make me go back for more........LOL

We are so lucky in having two sponsors for this challenge :::::::::


The first sponsor is Pattie's Creations and Pattie is offering three images from her Esty store. Patti is the originator of "Pattiboop", a very opinionated 11 year old, silly "Allie" cat and many other fun and whimsical images. If you have not been to her store lately, stop over and see what you have been missing. 




The second sponsor is Creative Inspirations and they are offering 10 jars of iridescent water based paint that will add brilliance and sparkle to your creations. Not to enable your crafting addiction further but to let you know, Inspiration paints are available in 55 beautiful colors. 

So here's your sketch:

THE RULES

  • You will have one week to flip the Sketch, twist the Sketch, work the Sketch and submit the Sketch.
  • You are not required to use Bonibleaux Designs Digis although it would make us really really happy and giggle a lot if you did!
  • MUST be a masculine themed card, you can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic, but it has got to be for a DUDE!
  • Be sure to use the InLinkz below to submit your creation.

The winners will be announced here on February 9th

To entice your further, take a look at what the design team has created with more fantastic images from Bonibleaux Designs Digis
