Loving Hearts

Today is new challenge day at OSAAT!! We have an easy but fun challenge for you this week;

 #197 - "White + One"

 

That means you have to use white plus ONE other colour. Body colour doesn't count but BLACK DOES!

This week's challenge is sponsored by Creative Craft World. They are giving 3 Promarkers to one lucky participant that enters using one of our images. Those with non-Stichy Bear digis will be entered in to a draw for $3.00 in our store.

 

 

 

 

I chose to use RED as my colour this week. I had to take a picture as well as scan my card with my scanner because I just couldn't get all the red to show up, and some actually came out looking black. I have uploaded both images so you can see it is all White & Red.

Here is a close-up of the "starburst" surronding some of the hearts on this paper. This is the reason I chose this digital paper pack. I fell in love with this specific paper.

With it being an even number this week, that also means that our whole DT is playing and we have tons of inspiration for you on the OSAAT blog.

 We have a terrific prize for you this week too.The Sponsor for this weeks challenge is StitchyBear Digi Outlet with a complete set of digi images that the team used in challenge #194. To win the main prize you MUST use an Image from our store. Runner up prize for person using none store image is $3 to spend in the StitchyBear Digital Outlet. So everyone can win something ;O). 

It was my turn to pick for my little mini team, and I just couldn't resist a fabulous image by Scrapper's Delights. Here is the card I made with it:

New Year, New Baby!

Good Morning Friends & Welcome Back!!

The Design Team at OSAAT is back as of today, with our weekly challenges, after a much needed break and some family time. What better theme than #195 - "Starting New", to kick off a brand new year? This could be trying a new technique, using something you had new for Christmas, or maybe a wedding card or new baby, even a birthday card is the start of something new

Our sponsor this week is StitchyBear Digital Outlet with $9 to spend in the store. To win this prize you MUST use a digi from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet. You can still enter with a none StitchyBear Digi Outlet image but will be entered into a separate draw to win $3 to spend in our store.

When thinking of 'new things' my mind automatically goes to the 2 new grand-children my hubby and I will be getting this year. We even found out the gender of each little bundle over the holidays! Our daughter and her hubby are having a boy due on May 8th! Our son and his wife are expecting their first child on June 5th, and its a girl! With these additions, we will have 4 precious grand-children, 2 girls and 2 boys!! 'New things' are pretty good I think :)

Keeping all this in mind, I'm sure my card will come as no big surprise to any of you, lol.
