Hoot Hoot Hurray!

Today is a special day for Craft Your Passion, folks! Today marks their 100th challenge! Wow! Can you beleive it?! Time sure has flown by! It's hard to beleive it, isn't it?! I remember fondly, the time I served on the DT at Craft Your Passion. I started as a guest designer back when Lauretta and Corrine ran the challenge blog, and ended up staying on. The time eventually came for me to move on, and the blog is now ran by the wonderful Jenn Jackson, who's doing a bang up job! *Applause* From time to time, Jenn invites me back as a guest for special events, and of course, I'm always happy to participate! This is no exception! I'm honored, as always to be be asked. This is a special time for Craft Your Passion and a real cause for celebration!

The celebration is in full swing, with tons of wonderful sponsors! Lots of sponsors mean lots of prizes! Be sure you head over and check out the festitivities at Craft Your Passion and play along in the current challenge, for your chance to win!

I went with a shaped card for my first Craft Your Passion project. I'm using Hootie Pie Clown by Pink Cat Studio, who's one of the many fabulous sponsors this week! He's colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash.

Clown Around For Oldie But Goodie Thursday

It's Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug! The DT for Bugaboo Stamps has some awesome projects to share with you, too! Hurry over and check out the eye candy! It's yummy!

As a guest designer for Bugaboo Stamps this month, I decided to participate in the Oldie But Goodie this week. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems a Little Sketchy.
I used clown from Bugaboo Stamps. All papers are scraps from my huge scrap pile. The heart is punched with punches by Marvy and by Martha Stewart. Purple polka dotted ribbon is from my ribbon scraps drawer. I used this fun new butterfly shaped button to add that little extra something. Gemstone hearts in the upper left corner are also from my stash. I punched the sentiment with a new EK Success punch that I got for Christmas.
