It's Tuesday. Have you bloomed today?
Photo is a sweet, little bloom from my garden.
The layout is a reminder to bloom daily 'cause it's pretty to do so :)
With blessings & joy, yours truly . . . Corrinne Quinn

{PIN}spirational Challenge #26: Photo - Maple Tree In Autumn
We are celebrating this beautiful season with a gorgeous tree for inspiration at {PIN}spirational Challenges.
Our sponsor is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. While I haven't used one of their digis in this creation, I have in the past (click here) & will definitely be doing so in the future.
Are you inspired? If so, please share your creation with us. I can't wait to see it!
This creation is all about using what I have.
The only item that is "new" is the grosgrain ribbon, which is my new obsession!
The polka dot chipboard flower (right side) is at least 3 years old! Talk about hoarding :)
Have you been using up your stash lately? What is the oldest item you have in your supplies?

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #32: Color Recipe - Golden Brown, Mustard & Navy
A new challenge starts today at Tuesday Alchemy.
It's a color recipe, so you can mix it up with color.
Golden Brown, Mustard & Navy - Enjoy creating with this threesome!
~ AND ~
For this creation, I kept it CAS and I used a new flower tutorial that I found while perusing blogs. I didn't like my finished flower (as I really did need to ink the ends), so I changed it up. You can find the tutorial on Doing Life - A Blog By Desire Fourie. Thank you, Desire!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #24: Photo Inspiration - Cat & Daisy
Are you a "cat person"? Well, I definitely am! I love dogs, but cats are so independent, which I love.
For {PIN}spirational Challenges, you are challenged to create any craft using the photo as inspiration. Isn't this kitty oh, so cute?
Do you have any cats? I do. My cat is 13 years old, a big 'ol orange tabby with the sweetest personality and a complete mama's boy. He's been there for me through everything and is my oldest friend.
The girl's funky dress and hat were made with lots of dots of white & hot pink. Super fun!
This week's sponsor at {PIN}spirational Challenges provided the digital stamp. Fresh Brewed Designs creates stamps of all kinds, including rubber and digital. It's where "creativity is brewed fresh daily."

Clear It Out Challenge #11 - Sympathy
Clear It Out Challenges is all about clearing out your stash, hence, the name :)
Our challenge is sympathy and you must use dark papers from your stash. Sympathy cards may seem difficult, but they are actually quite simple.
With sympathy, you don't have to be over the top and you can keep everything CAS. Of course, if you need to add some bling (like me), there is nothing wrong with doing so.
The style of this card can be used for any kind of sympathy, too.
Have you made a sympathy card before? What did you decide was the best look?
If you haven't, definitely join us at Clear It Out Challenges!

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #29: 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?

Love
This tag was made with a mix of elements. I've always enjoyed creating a "collage" out of my embellishes. It's probably what you would call my style - eclectic collage!
I've had this gold sequin FOREVER & I keep trying to use it, but it has never worked for me until now. I made a little bow out of it.
Do you have anything in your stash that you keep trying to use, but it only turns into one of those craft fails? Have you finally succeeded or are you still trying?

Paint Your Nails Today
Broken Box Stock has super fun digital stamps and better still, they offer lots of them for free!
Since you have to use one of their images to join the challenge, this is definitely helpful.
This digital stamp is from their collection of digital stamps - I definitely recommend checking out everything they have to offer!

Lovely
This is a little sneak peak of what you may win at {PIN}spirational Challenges. The sponsor for our newest challenge (starting on Tuesday) is A Day For Daisies, who will be offering one lucky crafter a prize from their shop.
I was lucky enough to be able to use a digital stamp from A Day For Daisies. It's called A Magical Read & it truly is!
If you are impatient & want to join in the fun right now, head on over to {PIN}spirational Challenges for our current challenge.
It's always based on a photo from Pinterest, which makes this challenge blog unique & lots of fun!

What would make me extra, extra happy is if you join me at Tuesday Alchemy for our Buttons challenge!

Also, you can enter as many times as you want, combine with any other challenges & you may just win a fantastic prize.
I submitted this card to these wonderful challenge blogs. See below for links, so you can join in!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #16: Photo Inspiration - Finally
Aaww . . . isn't this photo just SO romantic? It is our inspirational photo at {PIN}spirational Challenges this week. I adore how simple yet absolutely lovely it is!
You know what else is lovely? Our sponsor, that's what! Crafty Sentiments is giving one of our lucky participants THREE digital stamps to play with - YEAH! They also offer clear stamps, die cutters & more for crafters like us to be creative.
"Whatever our souls are made of,
His and mine are the same."
- Emily Bronte
When I originally saw the challenge, I had an entirely different idea in my head. It all changed when I remembered that I had these wonderful wedding stickers & vellum quote.
I added a handmade flower (I just can't stop making these!), pearls, tulle & a faux diamond ring. Ta-dah!
