50th Challenge Celebration

Hello and welcome to Inspired By All The Little Things! This is a weekly inspiration challenge blog and each week we feature a wonderful designer who inspires us as an artist!

We are so excited to welcome you to our 50th Challenge Celebration! We cannot believe we have already hit this Milestone and we hope you will help us to celebrate!

To help us celebrate, we have each invited a special guest to join us this week! Hooray! And we also have this week's special Creative Guest invited by Leigh Penner...



Hi there, Leigh here.
This week I invited someone I admire greatly to be featured here at IBATLT.
She is a lovely person and an extremely talented stamper!
I adore her style (I seriously don't think she's ever made a card that I haven't loved!)
and was thrilled when she accepted my invitation
to join us for our 50th Challenge Celebration:



I asked Diana to share a bit about herself...

1. What is the name of your blog? When and why did you start it?

My blog’s name is Overnight Waffles, simply because all the good names were already taken. Seriously. I got a bit desperate and came up with the name thinking that for sure it would be an available one. It was. :) I started it in February 2013 as a way to participate in challenges. 

2. What is your style of card making?

Definitely CAS and feminine.

3. Who inspires you as a designer?

So very many different people! There are so many amazing paper crafters out there. 
I’m inspired by both people who have a similar style to mine and those who craft completely different from me.

4. What sort of things inspire you as a card maker? 
Photos? Sketches? Other designers?

Challenges that feature a photo or sketch and are very open ended, 
leaving lots of room to move around in.

  
5. Share something about yourself that we may not know?


While paper crafting is my favourite hobby, my most favourite thing to do is travel. 
If I could, I would be travelling non-stop. Except then I would miss my grandsons 
(and the rest of my friends and family) too much. Hmmm. Dilemma.

Here is Diana's beautiful card using this week's inspiration:



The challenge designers have also created a card for this week's inspiration! 
These ladies just inspire me SO much!!! I hope you will play along with us this week! 
We would love to have you join us!

And please be sure to visit our special guests!!! We have each invited someone to join us this week who inspires us as card makers!
