Hello, Diane with you this week as your hostess
for our challenge which is
White On White
NO colors allowed...nope not any, just white!

I think the hardest part of a white only challenge
is getting a photograph don't you?

you inspired!

Animals!

Animals!

Happy July Everyone!  Vickie Y here to announce that this challenge will focus on ANIMALS!  By Webster’s Dictionary simple definition an animal is any living thing that is not a plant!  Therefore, fish, birds, insects, reptiles, mammals, and human beings are all animals.  You be the judge when creating your focus on animals card or project.  As your challenge hostess, I would love to see cards/projects with the focus on our four legged animals, but don’t hesitate to be inspired by Webster’s definition if you do not have any four legged animal images!

Here are the cards created by the Design Team!

Summer Fun

Hello, everyone! Terri here to announce our next challenge "Summer Fun". It feels so good to be back with the Sisterhood and to finally have warm weather. I love sitting in the backyard with a nice cool beverage and just enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Before I tell you about our new challenge, we at the Sisterhood are sadly having to say GOOD BYE to our long time "Sistah" Lisa B.   Her personal life has just become too busy with a new full time job, a set of young twin daughters that keep her hopping and just all the other stuff that goes along with a family & job.  We will miss Lisa B and her fabulous designs but totally understand her decision!

Best of Luck to you Lisa B.   

You are welcome back anytime!   

The challenge today is to make a project showcasing your favorite activity of summer. 

SUMMER TIME FUN

Do you like baseball, tennis, swimming, picnics, gardening? I'm sure you have lots of ideas running through you mind, so get started and share your beautiful creations with us.

For a little extra inspiration, here are the projects by the Design team.
