JoBoogie Crafts

lots of inspiration!

How many challenges can I complete for one card???? I think my max had been two... This time I'm bringing you THREE. Oh YEAH! AND it features one of my favorite Anyas... Ta-da!

 

The first is over at Etsy Inspired! I hadn't had a chance to play along with their challenges in  a LONG time! The last time I played was when I won my first piece of some FABULOUS blog candy (some Unity stamps - Yay!)... Anyway, this weeks Etsy Inspired shop is Kharlie Bug - she makes some super cute bags! Makes me seriously want to learn how to sew... Anyway, I drew inspiration from this one... I really liked the colors.

Speaking of the colors... They happen to be this week's Color Throwdown challenge! Baja Breeze, Black/Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand... Well, I don't have any Sahara Sand, so I hope Kraft and Ivory will do!

AND, last but not least, this card is based off of this week's sketch at CPS! How's THAT for completing challenges?!

I'm super bummed because I've got TONS of mojo but I'm working the next 2 nights... Thankfully, I've got some posts scheduled so stay tuned! :)

Happy Friday!

Etsy Inspired Birthday Bash & EIC51!

Do you know of my friend Ashley?

If you don't, you're certainly missing out!

See, Ashley and I go back to the days of wedding planning via the Knot...then newlywed life via the Nest... And then the joys of motherhood via the Bump.

We've both recently discovered we have a shared love for paper crafting!

Ashley's blog host the FABULOUS weekly Etsy Inspired challenge and this Saturday they're having huge blog hop to celebrate their first birthday. (What a coincidence - it falls on my birthday weekend too *coughFRIDAYcough* :) Unfortunately I'll be working ALL WEEKEND so I can't join in on the fun, but I encourage you all to play along! There will be prizes so make sure you play along!)

This week's sponsor for their Etsy Inspired Challenge is Unity Stamp Co! If you play along, you may win a fabulous prize! :)

This week's inspiration comes from Red Crow Arts. My inspiration for my card comes from THIS PIECE. Pretty, isn't it? I really like the color of the purple and the way the circles almost look like the Circus Circus stamp from SU!.

Here's my card:

 

Ok, so the card kinda took on a life of its own. I heat embossed the card base with clear embossing powder... then it wasn't enough for me - it was too plain. So I added more... and more... and more stuff and used a Tilda stamp from Magnolia on top.

TOTALLY not what I intended, but the card base color reminds me of the pendant I was inpired by! *lol*

Have a fab day everyone!

ps. I got some great news to share, but I have to wait. No, I didn't get selected for TGF's DT (boo) or Your Next Stamp's DT (boo), but I'm a firm believer that when one door closes another one opens. I'll share the news as soon as I can!
