Welcome to the Very First Challenge for Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog!

Good morning everyone and Welcome! This is Challenge #1 for Craft Hoarders Anonymous
The challenge for the next two weeks is:  "What's Your Style?"  For me that is a very good question.  I'm sort of  "Vintage", with a sprinkling of "Girly" and topped off with a smudgen of "Classic".

Share a project that showcases your signature style.  Dig into your hoard and pull out items that make you shout with crafty joy!  Whip up something that has your creative name all over it.  Do you, because no one is you-er than you!


One lucky winner will receive this prize pack, donated by Gloria Stengel Designs!

Here is my project:


I have to admit, this card is totally me.  I make my own flowers and I love pinks, greens and shades of browns together.  I use a lot of Heartfelt Creations, stamps, dies and papers.  Let's face it...I hoard them.  I confess. a few months ago I went through some of my "stuff" and sent three large boxes of supplies, along with some dies and a die cut machine to the nursing home.  Now when they have craft day, they have a few more supplies to play with.  I am now feverishly working to re-stock!

Challenge Rules are here: Craft Hoarders Anonymous  

OK, you have until February 16 PT to post your project on your blog and link to The Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog.  The design team projects will be posted there as well.

Design Team Group "A" is posting today and February 10, Design Team Group "B" will post.  You may click on the names of the two groups on my right hand side bar and you will be whisked away to their blogs. Go visit and leave a comment.  We all love hearing from you!  

OK, now it's your turn...go pull out those supplies and get busy!  I can't wait to see what you do!  And remember if you don't enter, you cannot win!

Hi Glenda,

Yep, I'd agree - your card is totally you! You are the queen of making flowers. This sounds like a fun challenge. I'm not sure what my style is - this is an interesting question. I'll have to pull out some things and see what I end up with!

Hugs,
Kay

Glenda, looks like your "Happiness Always" is when you surround yourself with ink and HC stamps! I still say that you are the molding master when it comes to flowers. Beuatiful card, and it is def you!

creative lady said...

Glenda, love your card, the flowers really make the card. I love Heartfelt Creations products!

Leslie Miller said...

Ohhhh, I don't know if I could part with any dies, but I have given away boxes of supplies in the past. Now my goal is to use what I buy. Plugging away at that. I just saw the new challenge over at the Craft Hoarders blog and it is a good one, I think. Two weeks? I wonder if I could possibly fit something in... Your card is gorgeous and certainly shows your signature style with those amazing fowers and dies and a bit of shabby. I think I could spot a "Glenda" card a mile away!

Sylvia said...

Gorgeous card as always, Glenda, I love your flowers and all the lovely tearing and curling of the paper edges! Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

Dianne said...

The flowers are hand made? They are just incredible! I am a huge Heartfelt fan but I could never do their papers justice... You absolutely do! Love everything about this card and then some.
