Color Inspiration Challenge

Who is your favorite paper crafting goddess? Stacey Julian? Leah Fung? Heidi Swapp? Becky Higgins?

While I love all of these goddesses, my personal favorite may be someone you've never heard of, yet - Kristina Werner.  Kristina works at Stampin' Up! as a graphic artist. So, she helped design some of the great stamps you probably have in your craft stash. But, even better in her spare time she creates color inspiration challenges and videos stepping you through fabulous card creations.  

The photo is from Kristina's challenge this week. Hurry, the challenge ends Thursday, December 4 at 7:00 pm MT. 

Visit Kristina's blog, kwernerdesign.com .  View her videos on You Tube here .

I hope you find Kristina as inspiring as I do.

Make It Monday

I really like the stars and stripes combination on this HP ad. It might make a nice background paper, card or try replacing the photo of the computer with a photo of your loved one and title and journaling and you're done.

What will you make this Monday?

Go get creative.

Make It Monday

This hand bag by Dolce & Gabbana is this Monday's Make It Monday inspiration item. What can you make with this as your inspiration? Could you use it as a color scheme? Use your scraps, that are taking over your craft room, to create a one-of-a-kind background or accent paper?

Time to get crafty!
