New Season, New Things . . .

Sparkle & smile - It's Spring! And I have been feeling the joy of it.

Perhaps, that's why I'm a little obsessed with yellow right now?!

My inspiration was the sunshine that I am soaking up - Sorry for those that aren't as lucky!

This lovely weather has pushed me to try new things, including digital arts & crafts.

Are you on a new journey? I'd love to hear about your creative or not-so creative adventures.

Blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

Crafty Creations Challenge #188 - Around The World

Around The World is the newest challenge at Crafty Creations. My inspiration was different languages, so I used "thanks" in German, Italian & French for this project.

The images are a generous offering provided by this challenge's sponsor, Digital Paper Craft. Isn't this artist so sweet?

I painted each artist's hat with a soft color and I also added "paint" to their palettes.

Do you paint? What do you enjoy painting?

Anything But A Card Challenge #2: Texture

ABAC Challenge #2 begins today. It's all about texture. Create ANY project as long as it's not a card and add that texture to it!

This canvas was covered with glittered cardstock before I painted over it with navy, then distressed in white.

Satin ribbon is topped with a piece of a broken belt (Super cute belt, but oh, so cheap & broke on me!)

I painted the butterfly white, so it would go with the color scheme, then topped with a grosgrain ribbon bow.

Lots of different textures - Yeah!

Lady Anne's Paper Crafts: Friday Sentiments - Encouraging & Corners

This is my first creation as design team member for Lady Anne's Paper Crafts, a Ning group that offers challenges in a variety of themes for every day of the week. Everyone is welcome to join us and play, so head on over for inspiration & crafting fun!

I'm a part of the Friday Sentiments Team, so every creation will have a sentiment along with a "twist." The twist for this week is corners while the sentiment is encouranging.

I made the photo corners by using an easy corner bookmark tutorial, then jazzed them up with flowers, ribbons & star buttons (which I removed the shanks from, so they would lay flat.)

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #29: Random Word Inspiration

At Tuesday Alchemy, we have a new challenge that will be played once a month now. It's Random Word Inspiration!

Three words are randomly picked from a word generator, then you can use one, two or all three words to inspire your project.

The words for this week are bee, guitar & lunch. Can you guess which one I chose? Ha!

Once again, we have lots of sponsors, so there are more chances to win by sharing with us!

Robyn's Fetish joins us again this month, offering up 5 digital stamps. To see their images in use, definitely check out Tuesday Alchemy's design team creations on the blog.

I am excited to have Birdie Brown join us this week by providing 3 digital stamps to one lucky crafter. The little bee image on my creation was courtesy of Birdie Brown. Isn't it super cute?
