Happy Friday Everyone!!
Are you ready for a FUN, NEW CHALLENGE??? Great, because it's time for the debut of RAISE THE BAR Challenge and we are anxious to have you come play along!! For our very 1st challenge, we are creating with SOMETHING NEW!
That's right, maybe it's new stamps, papers or punches you received for Christmas ... or maybe a new technique you've been wanting to try out ... or even just a new approach to how you create. The choice is yours!
For my creation, I have used a NEW "The Greeting Farm" Madelynn stamp that I just received in the mail this week, a NEW Martha Stewart heart border punch (NEW both sides technique of punching) and even this cute little heart (see insert) that I purchased recently at a brand NEW crafting shop called "Bee Scrappy" in Medina, Ohio.
Here is the recipe for my creation:- Stamp: Madelynn (The Greeting Farm)
- Paper: Whisper White, SU Rose Red dp, Parrot Green cs
- Inks: Versafine black
- Accessories: Martha Stewart Heart border punch, Prismacolor markers, Charm, SU slit punch, silver Making Memories brads, 2-way glue
Our wonderful leader, Joni is also giving away CANDY for our debut!! Won't you please take a moment and pop on over to RAISE THE BAR and see what all the ruckus is about!!! Also be sure to pop on over to my Co-Bar Tenders blogs for more inspiration. Here are the links for your convenience!
