It's everyone's favorite challenge! Yeah, you know the one . . . It's the challenge where you get to decide what the challenge will be or if you will be challenged at all - Ha!

I created these clothes pins as a birthday present for a girl who just adores zebra print.

I painted, distressed, sealed & covered with a zebra print paper before adding glitter to the black stripes then topping with a grosgrain ribbon bow.

I have to give my partner credit for part of the idea, though. He told me to put glitter just on the stripes - Wow, he might just be a crafter at heart. (Okay, that's really only my wishful thinking - Ha!)

{PIN}spirational Challenge #28: Photo - Red Jacket With Pink Roses

How do you turn a rustic jean jacket into something sweet & fashionable? Dye it red and embellish with pink fabric roses - Isn't that a wonderful idea?

This week at {PIN}spirational Challenges we challenge you to create something being inspired by this photo.  There is lots to draw from, so I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Our sponsor is Folded Paper, so definitely stop by and share a photo inspired creation with us :)

For my creation, I used this fantastic paper with wood grain on it. Pink rickrack stretches across the card dotted by velvet red bows. To finish the look, I embellished the bows with big bold buttons tied with pink thread.

SHOElicious

I was happy to be able to use this digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps, who will be a sponsor at Clear It Out Challenge.

I created this card for my SIL, whose birthday will be coming up. She is a girly girl, so I know she'll love these shoes.

I definitely have a shoe fetish. Do you? What's your favorite pair of shoes? Do you like fancy or comfortable?

Red, White, Blue & Charming Butterfly

This week seems to be the challenge of red, white & blue. It was Independence Day in the USA yesterday after all. I didn't watch any fireworks this year, but I definitely heard them!

I didn't use the classic blue. I went with a lighter version. I love how it works so well with red & creates a different look.
