The First Whimsy Inspirations Challenge

It’s an exciting day! Today is the kick off of the first challenge at Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Challenges. Each week the Whimsy Digi DT will be taking turns to choose that weeks theme. For our first challenge, we have a nice easy one, “Ribbons & Bows”. Use ribbon and at least one bow on your card.

For my card, I used Trimming the Tree by Crissy Armstrong and Warm Winter Wishes Sentiments from Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs.

Stop by the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Challenges blog to see the projects created by some of the Whimsy Digi DT and to link up your “Ribbons & Bows” project.

You don't have to use a Whimsy image. All types of paper projects are welcomed. This week since it is our first challenge we will be having 2 random winners.

The first winner will win

The second winner will win

Additionally, for each challenge one lucky player who has used a Whimsy Stamps image (rubber or digital) will have the opportunity to be a guest designer for a future challenge. The guest designer will be able to choose a digi stamp of their choice from the store to create their guest card too! You can find all the challenge rules on the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Challenges blog.

If you have only just found us, we would still love you to grab our badge, follow us and tell your friends!!!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you will join us for our first challenge!
