#tgifc161 Technique Challenge

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Are you singing along? We have a fun technique for you to try along with us this week!

To add to the excitement - we have a BRAND NEW Design Team Member!!!

Christy Velasquez!!!

I am Stampin' Up! Demonstrator located in Cary, NC and have been paper crafting for over 15 years. Growing up with an artistic mom who painted and had her own craft business, I think I get my love of creating with my hands from her. I have a wonderful husband who supports my passion for this business and two adorable Pomeranian fur children.

Creating hand made cards is something I am passionate about and I love to see the smile it brings to people's faces when you give them one of your creations. In a world driven by technology where so much communication is done through our devices, I think it is more important now to spread the handmade kindness with old fashioned snail mail.

We are excited to have her on our team - AND we are excited to recognize last week's challenge winner:

Linda Van Wely-Zwolle

And the runner up is:

Jenny Hall

Thank you for all of the amazing entries last week! You all rocked it!

#tgifc158 Color Challenge

May 2015.... it was an important month. Life changing even, maybe.... LOL. Do you know why? That's when this little challenge blog came to life. The blog looked a little different, and so did the team, but there's a few of us still around, and a few of you are as well. How long have you been stamping with us? Have you been with us since the beginning?

Well, our very first challenge was a color challenge, and it's a color challenge this week!

Our winner from last week's tic tac toe challenge is:

Lauren Meiklejohn

Speaking of winners, we have something very fun for you this week. We want a LOT of you to play along with us this week...so we have PRIZES!!!

We will be doing drawings for those who comment here, who comment on each designer's blog post, AND a really cool prize for the winner of this week's challenge!!! AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A GUEST DESIGNER ON AN UPCOMING POST!!!!
