Are you ready???? I have a challenge for you....it's just the best thing since polka dots :)
I have a new friend, Jill from Jillie Willie, who is sponsoring a fun contest here on my blog for all of you card-making, irresistibly cute bag loving gals out there.....HERE is what you're shooting for!
It's the Zipper Bottom Gathering Bag from Jillie Willie and I truly think it's the cutest thing I have ever seen. I want one for myself just to stare at and enjoy....what a treat and a smile all wrapped up in one, don't you think?
For this challenge all you have to do is create a card inspired by this bag....let your funky polka dot loving self come shining through....enjoy the whole process and have fun. If you've never created a card before, let this be your first time.
You have until Saturday, February 7th at 10:00 pm MST to create your card, post it on your blog or in your online gallery, and then link me to it by posting to this thread! I'll choose a winner and will post the lucky girl's name on Monday, February 9th. Please let me know if you have any questions and I CAN'T wait to see your sweet creations!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Jillie Willie for sponsoring this fun challenge!
Here is my card inspired by her bag:
I used Pink Paislee paper, rubons, stamp, and stickers here along with Doodlebug gems, and a Maya Road velvet flower.
I believe it's time to get some Chicken Noodle Soup goin'.
