Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

Hello to all our wonderful followers.  This week it is my turn, Lisa B to host our next challenge. I would like to say first that the entries we received for the last challenge blew me away. I was in awe of so many beautiful and crafty creations.  Excellent job!!

Now on to our next challenge. With Valentine's Day coming around the corner we decided to do a challenge based around hearts. It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day.  It can be anything with a heart on it.  I would like to give a shout out to our Sistah' Diane who puts together all these wonderful challenges.  She thinks of some fabulous themes that we need to create something for.  Thank you, Thank you!

Here is some inspiration projects from our DT to help your crafty gears turning. We can't wait to see what you come up with.  It is always a joy visiting everyone's blog to see their entries.  Keep them coming!

Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving?  I know, me either!  Good morning guys, Micki here!

I'm going to venture out on a limp and say that I'm hoping I'm not the only one NOT ready for Thanksgiving, anyone with me?   But then I say that every year!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it is only fitting that our challenge is geared towards this holiday.  We want to see your THANKSGIVING projects.  Turkeys, pilgrims, sentiments, cards or 3D...... as long as the theme reflects Thanksgiving, we want to see it!  Here is the perfect opportunity to create some awesome table decor or place settings for your Thanksgiving Day table!

We have a very generous sponsor for our challenge!

One lucky winner will win a $9 gift certificate to Shelly's Images!    Shelly's Images offers a wonderful array of digital stamps, created with the card maker, scrapbooker and crafter in mind.  From blooms to animals to sentiments!  Thank you Shelly!  We are so very thankful to you and all of our sponsors!

Now to get your crafty ideas flowing, here are some inspiration from the Sistahs:
