Glenda's 100th Challenge

I was thrilled to be asked to play alongside Glenda Wyatt and a group of talented stampers for Glenda's 100th Challenge!!  Glenda and I became friends after I attended one of her local stamping classes.  We meet every so often when we are visiting each other's "city"!  She is an amazing friend, stamper and teacher and I am very honoured to be sharing a card with you today.  As you know I have been occupied with my grandmother's care (alongside my mum) and as a result have not been paper crafting in the past few months.  My focus has been around health and wellness as we are helping grandma through this very rough time.  So thank you for your patience!

So in honour of Glenda's 100th Challenge she is sharing some SPECTACULAR blog candy as well as offering you a blog hop. 

The deets:

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge #100 is to use red on your card or project.  Use as much or as little as you like.  Incorporate it by using paper, ink, ribbon, embellishments, whatever you like!  You must play along with the challenge to be eligible to win the blog candy.  If you play along, please leave a comment on Glenda's blog and link back to her post from your post.  If you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword: GRAC100.  You have until midnight Pacific Time on January 23rd to play along and you can play along as many times as you like.  The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on January 24th.

full color brochure printing said...

The booklets are good ways to present ideas to clients. It can do wonders in any campaign, because they allow you to share lots of information about a package that anyone can easily take anywhere.

custom poster printing said...

Each card design I've seen the cheapest to most expensive looks absolutely terrible. Also considered tacky. If anyone has one in their house.

Tara Gove said...
