Friday Fave for Jan. 27th

This week's Friday Fave comes to us from Wendy Antenucci.

When I saw this one in the gallery it just jumped right out at me.
I can't say how much I LOOVE the way Wendy clusters the flowers
around her photo strips, and then journaled to fill in the rest of the heart.
And then the "love" touch on the edge is just perfect!

Fantastic LO Wendy! Congrats on being this week's Friday Fave!

CARDS Pinspo Challenge: To Bake, To Bathe or Both?

Hello, Nookers!

Shellye here with your Wednesday CARDS Challenge.

I enjoy perusing Pinterest...maybe a little too much!

We like to use PINSPO Challenges here at the Nook...what is a Pinspo challenge?  Simply using some of our favorite photos (found at Pinterest) and using them as inspiration in creating cards, layouts, etc.  You may see patterns, a certain color scheme or an actual image.

I ran across a couple of photos that I thought would go well with the January Nook Kit.

The first photo:

Yumm-O Cupcake

My Take:

The Second Photo:
Luxurious Bath

My Take:

Thanks for looking!

Happy crafting :)

Hi all!  Welcome again to our ten week crop!  As you know, we are celebrating all things ten! Top 10 lists, the number 10 and ten step challenges. Today I am focusing on embellishments. We all love them from buttons to trim to chipboard.

Here is my take on the challenge!

My top ten:

1. chipboard
2. buttons
3. brads
4. stickers
5. acrylic items
6. ribbon
7. twine
8. flowers

My layout using the beautiful January kit:

I turned the banner sticker into sun rays, the spoons into beams and flocked my ice cream cup!  Notice the mixed title!  All pages completed for this challenge must be linked to the challenge thread over at the forum by January 29th 12 noon PST.  I will choose a winner to receive an American Crafts Thickers prize pack!!
