MAGICAL MONDAY - Clean & Simple with Limitations

The special person to receive the random drawing prize for participating in last weeks challenge is: Pattie G

Please send me your address at magicintheair@att.net so I can get this out to you. CONGRATS and ENJOY!

Since this is the week of our blog hop, I thought I would kick off the week with a new look and a little transformation. So, if you want a new icon to match the new look go ahead and grab the new icon. I have left the site link the same so you do not need a new link as of right now. Also, if you are grabbing the new icon, go ahead and grab the blog hop icon as well and help us spread the word and the love for the "Recipe Blog Hop"!

Also, today please give a BIG welcome to our two new Designers Patti Nelson and Olga Jewell as well as our Guest Designer for the Month Patti J. Gilliam!

This week I bring you a image that was inspired by a picture that I seen on Kim's blog of her sweet little dog Malie. I am sure Kim can't wait to see what you do with her image! I know I can't! I think the designers did a wonderful job with this weeks challenge! So, leave the designers a message regarding their creations and also tell me what you think of our new look here!

("Sweet Trouble" is no longer available for free... if by chance you missed this freebie, you can now find this image in my store Paper Cupcakes)

Here is the picture Kim's dog Malie to help you know where I got the inspiration for this image.

Kim brings us this week's challenge. Of course she wants you to use this image "Sweet Trouble" and create a "Clean and Simple card with limitations on what you can use (e.g., "NO" brads, bows, or anything that would make it challenging to mail) and a color requirement PINK, of course, must appear on your card somewhere."

The prize for this week’s random drawing for whoever participates in this weeks challenge and links their work back here is:

So... can November really be coming to an end? For me living in the Midwest that means that the snow is just around the corner and although I do not particularly love the snow, I do love to paint and draw snowy things! This week I bring you "Snowy Flight" a cute round snowman flying through the air on his round sled. The designers really rocked this image with this weeks challenge. Such fun and great ideas below! Make sure you always check out their personal blogs for all the details!

I am in a process of getting a website up and going to make available to you not only these images, but many more originals by me in digital form and in the near future photopolymer as well... it's all in "the works"! In just hours a new free image will be released)

I bring you this weeks challenge and I want you to use this image "Snowy Flight" and make anything BUT a card!! So, this leaves you wide open for CREATIVITY... so lets see what c'ha got!

No, your eyes are not fooling you! This is not a snowman! Leigh Anne is in the process of moving and she was cleaning up my images for me so she happened to have this one and she accidentally used this image instead of the one for the week. I loved her project so much I thought we would just use it as a sneak peak of an image that can be found in my upcoming store! This image is called "Shell sledding" featuring Shelly.

Ok.. it is way too late so this is very short and sweet....today I bring you this cute little moose and some cozy little mice all snuggled up waiting for Christmas delights! This is called Cozy & Bright. The designers made some really cute cards so make sure you leave them some luvins and stop by their personal blogs to see the close ups and details! All their blogs are linked above their cards.

This weeks challenge is to use this weeks image "Cozy & Bright" and how about a fuzzy challenge? Cozy, bright and fuzzy, sounds good to me! So lets use fun flock, fuzzy ribbon,fiber, fabric, fuzzy brads, etc. Anything that feels soft and/or fuzzy!
