Congratulations to irgenius! She described her inspiration this way, "When I looked at the photo, I saw winter. Well here in the south, we want summer so we can put our flip~flops on. I do not this winter any longer. I want to put on my flip~flops and shorts and head to the lake." I also noticed that the orange on the flip flops are the same color as the pillow in the inspiration photo. If you haven’t seen the fun and creative ideas that came from the inspiration photo that were done for the March Challenge, be sure and go take a look in the Challenge Folder, you will be inspired, they are all wonderful. irgenius gets to choose from the wonderful gift choices here on the Challenge page.

This beautiful layout can be used for many different types of photos. Whether it is a sweet baby, grandparent, car, pet or any other thing that makes you feel lucky, this is the layout for you. Have fun layering different papers to create just the look you want. You can use all of the pieces or pick and choose to customize it to make it just right for you. Notice the flowers that are disguising the lucky shamrocks, if you want more of a St. Patrick's Day layout, simply leave the flowers off. After cutting all of the pieces out, I decided to chalk and ink the edges just to add a little dimension. I also popped up the centers of each flower. To add one last touch, I pulled out my sewing machine and added a few lines of stitching. I also used my pen tool for the "to have you" words.
This week we will be going back to some of the basics. We will be showing you how to take files that have more than one layer. We will be cutting out and assembling them. We will also learn how to cut out in multiples to save on paper and time. DON'T FORGET: CLOCKS CHANGE THIS WEEKEND!

This fun little cup is very quick and easy to make. You just need to fold and glue, then add a special treat. I chose to use just a solid card stock and then use twine to put the tag on.
February's Challenge is to use one of the bendi-fold bases and create you very own card or project. Here are the links to the cards: Large Bendi-Fold Base or Small-Bendi-Fold Base In the January 5, 2014 class, we had a class that showed how to create a bend-fold base from written instructions. We also showed how to change lines and have a little more fun with it. Here is the card that Angie Contreras, one of our amazing design team members created using the large base.
