I'm the KAPOW Kreative Challenge Guest Designer! YAY!

Here's the sketch:


And here's my card:

stamps: none
ink: craft white
paper: crumb, olive, red
embellishments: rhinestones, peacelovejoy die strip, simple snowflake punch, my wicked awesome sewing machine

Those of you in the stamping world, of course, know Carrie Gaskin. You know...the one that makes amazing cards with all the awesome details that have you shaking your head in amazement while thinking to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Ya, that one. Well, Carrie recently started her own challenges on her blog, The Artistic Avenger (how *awesome* is that name, eh?) called the KAPOW Kreative Challenge

I'm honored to be the KAPOW Kreative Challenge Guest Designer for this week. There's nothing that Carrie Makes that doesn't absolutely wow me and she has surrounded herself in good company with the ladies on her design team. Head on over there and check out their gorgeous creations for this week. 

My favourite memory of Carrie from convention was her telling me that she was going to throw her underwear at me while I was giving a presentation at a demo booth. She's clearly a big fat chicken because she never followed through but I adore her anyway. 

We'd love for you to play along with us in the challenges! Maybe if I like your card enough, I throw my underwear at you? Ske-doosh.

I. LOVE. THIS. CARD!!!!!

Lately (okay for a long while now) life has been so busy that stamping has really taken a back seat in my life..... Thanks Brandi for always giving my mojo a jumpstart - seeing your work helps me to want to sit down and create.

So glad to have a "guest designer"!! And it appears you really should be in our group 'cause it sounds like you'd fit right in (that a good thing, in my opinion)! Love the card and how cool it is even without a single stamp - that's what's so great about Stampin' Up...so many different ways to be creative. I love the rounded corners and stitching and the rhinestones around the "J"!
