My Guest Design Post for Cards/Crafts Galore


I'm honored to have been invited to be the very first guest designer for the Crafts/Cards Galore Challenge Blog in the United Kingdom!!! It's August (can you believe it?!) and it's time for a challenge!! Here's a sneak peek at my project. Can you guess what the challenge is?????



It's a Bingo challenge!!! Should you choose to accept this awesome challenge, create a project using any three elements in the grid that connect horizontally, vertically or diagonally!




The challenge sponsor is Scrapper's Delights. The lucky winner will receive $10 to spend on their digis in the Scrapper's Delights store!



Here's the card I created using the birthday, flowers, embossing line on the bingo card. My vision started with one of the fairies in the Scrapper's Delights - Pixie Corner Digi Set 1. I chose this one because it reminds me of my 8 year old daughter. After spending lots of time coloring this lovely digi,  I designed the birthday card with the challenge elements. It was very hard to choose because everything I wanted to use did not connect on the bingo grid. But I LOVE a good challenge!! Don't you?
