Friday Inspiration

Can you believe it's February already? It seems like the months are just flying by, but in our house that just means we are a little closer to baseball season. My boys eat, sleep, & breathe baseball and with these 60 degree days we have been having here in MO who wouldn't love to be outside!

 

Woo Hoo Friday is here and I know I am gearing up to do some crafting this weekend as I watch the big Super Bowl game. How about you all what's on your to-do list this weekend?  Well I thought I would provide you with a little inspiration from the DT ladies to get your in the crafting spirit!

Dutch Dare Sponsorship

With 2011 on it's way out, we thought we could sneak in a couple last sponsorships to send it out with a bang! We are excited to once again be the sponsor this week at Dutch Dare Card Challenges and when I got the theme of challenge a song came to mind. How about a little clue? It's goes something like this:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

So can you guess what the challenge might be?  That's right this week is all about your favorite things- this can be anything for a fave hobby, product, image, color, etc.  The possibilities are only limited to what your imagination can come up with.

Oh and I almost forgot, I am excited to announce that I (Christy) have been invited to join 

the Dutch Dare team -WOO HOO!  A few of the boutique team decided to play along and have provided some wonderful projects, but you will have to check their blogs to see what their fave things are that they used.

Smoochies, Smoochies, Everywhere I see Smoochies!

The new Smoochie line of images are becoming a fast fave with the design team and I thought it was perfect time to share a few of the fabulous creations!  Lawren has created the most adorable frame using 

"Baby Boy Smoochie", isn't her subject just adorable?

Here is a close-up of her wonderful coloring and wonderful design, perfect papers & embellies compliment her image!

Now Jen has worked with a couple different Smoochie images for her works of art.  First up she has used "Smoochie Blowing Kisses" as always she pick the perfect papers and embellies to compliment her little dancer.  I would love to just dive into her embellies sometimes to see what I can find to use. LOL!!!

When I saw this card I thought what a genius Jen is, this is a wonderful example of combining digital images.  In the background she has used the "skyline image" and put our little "Smoochie Fashionista" out in front like she is strolling through the neighborhood or maybe out shopping for clothes!

Make sue to check out the TSB challenge on Tuesday as you will be seeing a couple more FANTASTIC projects using the Smoochies!!!
