Hi there! Happy Friday:) For those of you new to our Loonie Stampers Challenges, let me give you a quick explanation. It all started with four Canadian ladies who came together as a result of the Papertrey Ink online forum (Char, Jewels, Dee and Regan). They decided to host a Papertrey color challenge each week on their blogs...a way for friends to have fun together. Loonie comes from the Canadian coin, by the way. Jewels created the graphics and all took a turn picking the challenge details. Well after a few weeks the four girls realized that they were incredibly lonely (perhaps I'm exaggerating here) and in a giant 'aha' moment that they struck perfection by adding two more fabulous women to the mix. Enter Wendy and me. (Yes, I'm the lone American Loonie...and the only one with an accent according to Char and Regan. Hrmpf:) So we've been challenging each other weekly ever since and as a result have met scores of other fabulous crafting addicts. We have fun each Friday and invite anyone and everyone to come party with us. This week was Jewels' choice and she provided not only a color challenge but an inspiration photo. I opted to continue with my current Cuttlebug obsession...when will it end?!?
I can't wait to go see what the other Loonies created:
Play along! Link up your creation to the comments section under any of our blogs...we love to come visit you! Thanks so much for stopping by!
