Let's Get Trendy Now!3 Day 4 Stitching



Amy Tsuruta, whose blog I've followed for years, is hosting a fun class/project called Let's Get Trendy Now! 3. It features 5 days of inspiration and a challenge for each day. All challenges are open until June 30th and I'm going to try to catch up and do them all. Next up for me is Day 4 Stitching. I used some Bo Bunny papers and Lawn Fawn stamps to create this card. I did some simple stitching around the circle chipboard. I'm usually the faux stitching type but I was making this card especially for my cousin and I know she will appreciate the extra details. They are offering a prize for each challenge as well. For the stitching challenge the prize is an awesome stamp set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps. I own many of their sets and am definitely a fan of their quality stamps and fun quirky sets. I encourage you to check out the website for inspiration and to join in! I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog's Anything Goes challenge.



Let's Get Trendy Now! 3 Day 1 Neon



Amy Tsuruta, whose blog I've followed for years, is hosting a fun class/project called Let's Get Trendy Now! 3. It features 5 days of inspiration and a challenge for each day. All challenges are open until June 30th and I'm going to try to catch up and do them all. Next up for me is Day 1 Neon. I've been hoarding this Amy Tangerine Sketch Book paper for a long time but I had to cut into it because it was the only neon supply I could think of. I love bright colors but neon is usually a little too bright for me. I didn't want to cover the paper too much because I think it's awesome the way it is. I would definitely just hang that sheet up as art work if I had the space. They are offering a prize for each challenge as well. For the neon challenge the prize is some buttons from My Clever Creations. I encourage you to check out the website for inspiration and to join in!

All challenges are open until June 30th and I'm going to try to catch up and do them all. Next up for me is Day 4 Handmade Embellishments. I created this flower embellishment by painting raw chipboard and adding strips of ribbon to fill the negative space. I have lots of ribbon and raw chipboard but don't always use it so it's good to give it some new life. They are offering a prize for each challenge as well. For the handmade embellishment challenge to prize is a paper pack from GCD Studios. I encourage you to check out the website for inspiration and to join in!
