A "Latte" Fun

{PIN}Spirational Challenges are A "Latte" Fun!

There's a brand new one starting today - and it will last for two weeks, so you'll have plenty of time to create a card and join the fun!


Our sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs, who not only donated images for the design team's use, but also will give a PRIZE to a lucky participant! How fun!!!

Here's the {PIN}Spirational photo for this challenge:

I used the Fresh Brewed Designs "Girl On the Go" image 

to make my card...

Flying By

I am the  hostess of the current round of the Unidentified Image Card Swap, which means I got to choose what image we used. Isn't that fun!?!?!?

I chose one of my favorite witch images. After all, it's October. ;) She's from the Starving Artistamps "Witch Trio" set. (The sentiment is, too.) I sure hope the other swappers had fun with her.

Here's my card:

The 3M's Are Carving Pumpkins

It's the 9th of October - which means the 3 Musketeers are ready to have some fun!

I think Barb, Kelly and I all three look forward to this day each month (I know I do!) and we hope you do, too.


Kelly is the hostess this month and she sent us the cutest image! THANK YOU, Kelly! It's from the Sugar Kissed Cottage Lie at Lil Inker Designs and is called "Carving Pumpkins". She also included two sentiments... I used both - one on the front and the other one inside.

Here's the card I made:
