Think INK #32!

This week your challenge is brought to you by another fabulous Challenge Host, Mary!This is our second Customer Think INK Challenge, these are starting to be all sorts of fun! Mary is challenging us to the colors Blue, Silver and White to create your card for this week!

Here is the fabulous sample Mary created for her challenge to share with all of us:Here is a bit about our GD today, Mary:

Hi! My name is Mary. I am a stay at home mom to two amazing kids (Thomas is 12 and Rebecca is 6). I have been married to my best friend, Tracy, for 7 years. I am very blessed to have such a supportive man in my life. I started as a scrapbooker 12 years ago when my son was born. Just a couple years ago I discovered both card making and stamping and found myself addicted to both very fast. Last year I created my blog and have made so many talented and wonderful friends along the way. I also love photography, reading and spending time with my family and friends. I am very excited to be this week’s guest designer. I hope you enjoy the card I made.

Think INK Challenge #31

This week your challenge is brought to you by Libeeti! This is our first Customer Think INK Challenge! So Libeeti is challenging us to create a card with embossing (any type) and flowers, with adding optional lace!

Here is the fabulous sample Libeeti that created for her challenge:

Here are a few words about Libeeti:

Hi, I'm Libeeti from Israel. I began making cards only about a year ago, but I'm sure got hooked... :) For the past 9 months or so, I started making lo, and now I'm more of a scrapbooker than a cradmaker. Still I like to make cards from time to time. I'm a single mom of two charming boys, a 8.5 y and a 5.5 y. They're the joy of my life and naturally the main subject of my scrapbooking. I'm a full time working women, but my fantasy is to scrap all day long...LOL It's such a shame life get in the middle. I love vintage style, and almost every work I tend to distress a little. I love to learn new techniques and to go out of my cmfort zone, and that what challenges make me do.
