{PIN}spirational Challenge #19 - View of Vanity

It's Tuesday - Do you know where your next challenge is? Well, I do . . .

It's at {PIN}spirational Challenges, which always has a new challenge featuring a photo that will inspire you.

Our sponsor is Meljen's Studios for our 19th challenge and they are just lovely! I used a digital stamp from Meljen's Studios for my project, so you can see one of their works in use.

I took inspiration from the bouquet of flowers, creating my own bouquet. Three roses stand tall inside a clear vase decorated by the roses' leaves, ribbon & a charm.

Roses are beautiful flowers and they smell wonderful, but my favorite flowers are actually Dahlias.

What's your favorite flower?

Three Scoops, Please

It's oh, so HOT! At least, it is here in Oregon. It's the kind of summer days that three scoops of yummy ice cream are necessary and you may just call it a new food group until it cools down.

Chocolate, strawberry & vanilla ice cream with polka dot sprinkles top a cone that was decorated with a well-loved dictionary page & rick rack.

It's a magnet, btw :)

If you haven't stopped by Tuesday Alchemy, it's time you did! Our challenge this week is, well, ice cream! And we'd love to have you join us with your own version of this delicious treat.

Christmas In July

 I made this a TRUE Christmas In July by adding a sexy lady in her bikini with a beach ball on this card (Digi stamp courtesy of Sassy Studio Designs - in case you want to get her for yourself!)

She looks a little light in the photo because I added paint to give her a creamy color to match the other colors in this card.

I also used some of my new Candi (See the gold & black circles?) They look like buttons or brads, but they are actually cardstock - Fantastic, I think!

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!

I Need Help!

Eeek! I really need help from all of you crafty people, especially those that use digital stamps.

Do you recognize that girl image? I chose it as my win for a challenge blog. Unfortunately, I wasn't very organized & I didn't keep track of the company that it came from!

Yes, I'm horrible! If you know anything about it, please leave me a comment. I think the artist's name is Heather, but I don't know what her shop name is. She has a website & an Etsy shop. I would appreciate it so so much!

I have organized all of my digital stamps, so I know where I received them from because I very much want to credit the creators.

{UPDATED: Thank you, Deanne & Tonya, for helping me out with the graphic designer information. The digital stamp used is from Heather Ellis! }
