Say It Loud!

Well this week's challenge is indeed that for me....a heck of a challenge. Say It Loud! Make a card or project using only a sentiment, no images or pictures. I first thought this wasn't going to be too hard because I had great sentiments that I absolutely adore. Turns out, using NO other images or pictures was tough. I'd have a great background in my head, then realize that was stamping images and redouble my efforts. I guess even with that in mind, I cheated a bit because I had two sentiments.

What do you think?

The sisters really created some beauties!

Lisa will be back to host a brand new challenge with Inky Impressions as our sponsor!

Hi everyone, Micki here.
Can you believe the month of April is almost over and believe it or not, but here in the Midwest (Kansas-Missouri) we had a forecast of snow.  Temperatures have been all over the board and that seems to drain the energy as well as creative mojo right out of me. One of the reasons that I've been absent for the last couple of challenges.
The best crafting motivator for me (besides being the hostess) is to just get in my craft room and just get inky with no thought about theme, color, embellishments or do's and don'ts and that is this is the PERFECT challenge because it's a

FREE for ALL. 

So grab your supplies and get into the crafting groove with us!  

To start the inspiration, check out what the Sistah's came up with:
