Delightful Inspirations

Weekly Challenge

is a bit different this week.

Faith has been busy with

Vacation Bible School

and didn't have a chance

to create a new image.

Soooo....

Faith give those who took part a code

to purchase a image from her store.

So the challenge is anything goes.

The Delightful Inspirations

Saturday Challenge

is

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons.

So I made 1 card to fit both challenges.

Then I needed to do 2 Outlawz Challenges

Sunday, July 24th's CAS
Monday, July 25th Greeting Card

so I made sure the card fit those challenges as well.

Here is my card....

Hugs, love and prayers

HappiLeigh Scrappin Shape Card Challenge

HappiLeigh Scrappin Challenge

This week's challenge is hosted

by Leigh!

Leigh loved our

shape card challenge

from a while back

and decided to do it again.

A couple of quick notes...

First Leigh is having a wonderful sale.

Buy 3 images, get one free.

Buy 6 images, get two free.

ETC. 

Now you can use any image you like.

But there are TWO bonuses for

using a HappiLeigh image.

First you double your entries

in the weekly drawing. 

PLUS!!

Everyone using a HappiLeigh image

will be placed in a separate drawing

for free images.

Here is what I did this week for

Shape Card.

Leigh said anything

but square or rectangle.

This is a Twisted Easel Card.

We have all seen easel card,

but this one is twisted. 

I used Leigh's new image

Daisy Teapot.

This is one of the rare cards

where I put the card together first

and then found my image. 

Hope to see your entry!!

Beauty

This week's

Delightful Inspiration

image is called

Beauty. 

This was a difficult image for me.

I couldn't figure what to do with it.

Then I remember the

Clean and Simple

(CSAS)

challenge at

Outlawz. 

The challenge was to use nothing but

stamps on your card. 

I am not in love this card.

3 attempts are in the

trash can.

Craft Room...re-design

Saturday Larry helped me re-do my craft room. 

All of the things we were storing in the room,

have now all found homes.

I have a serious craft room now. 

All it took was moving what was there around.

Now I have 3 work spaces.

Of course this used to be the bird room

when I was breeding birds.  

I need new decor now. 

Here is the view from the door.

I use the table in the middle to color

Printer, paper rack and desk.

My desk.

What I would like to call...the embellishment center. 

Most of my embellishments are within reach here

Thanks for taking a tour of the what used to be

the Corner. 

Hugs, love and prayers
