Please welcome her to team, she has loads of talent and is ready inspire you all! 

Hi, my name is Debbie, and I love all things crafty. I’ve been married almost 26 years and have two beautiful daughters.  I love to spend my free time sewing, scrapbooking, baking, making cards and jewelry, fishing, and ohhh, I do love to shop for crafting supplies.  I just need to find a way to buy time so I can play more often! 

 

I am so excited to join the team at The Stamping Boutique.  I recently found them on the internet – I know what you’re thinking – this woman must live under a rock!  In fact, I just created a home for my crafting projects last week www.craftingwhenican.blogspot.com.  Yeah, I’m stepping out of my box and learning a thing or two along the way. I look forward to making new crafting friends to share my passion with and spreading a little sunshine where I can.

CHALLENGE #23

Twelve...yep....12....we have just entered into 2012 and I thought it would be fun to celebrate it!!

So here is what you need to do for this challenge and don't let it scare you away...a challenge is a challenge for a reason right?! To challenge you!!!

Sooooo.....you can do this 3 different ways

1. simply us the number 12 on your project in some way or other

2. use twelve elements on your project...no LESS and no MORE than twelve(DP, embellishments, CS, image, sentiment...all those things will count toward your twelve)

3. use twelve on 1 thing (twelve different DP's...lol..that would be fun to try ;-)....12 of the same embellishments, etc)

You need some help with this one huh?! Well here is how the DT did with the challenge!!!

Miranda:

she decided to go with twelve elements on her card and she said she had a hard time sticking with just twelve...lol! It's fantastic! And smoochie baby and smoochie doggy are adorable on this card!

Julia:

decided to use the number 12 for her card and you know, this layout, color scheme and image is PERFECT for a New Years card. I mean 20/40 butterfly image almost looks like a really cool mask and the colors are totally NYE and the bit of sparkle...just lovely!

Sandy:

took the challenge and did twelve elements. I love this nice bright card. She also used smoochie baby and did a wonderful job with those 12 elements!

Elizabeth:

used AJ the romantic and decided to take the challenge by using 12 of one thing...can you guess the twelve of one.......the hearts!!! This is the sweetest Valentine's card.

Audrey:

decided to use twelve elements on her card included in the twelve is stickles and liquid pearls (so you can use anything for your twelve). She used one of the newer smoochies sweet angel and she sure does look sweet surrounded by all this pink and sparkle!

Jen S.:

also used the number 12 on her card. She used whimsical snowflake tree for her image and I just love the DP...super cute and fits perfect with the image!

Okay...now it's your turn to show us how you use "twelve"!!! Have fun!

See our new challenge blog!!!!! :D
