I have invited my talented friend Linda Snodgrass

of Lin's Craft Corner to be our featured designer for the month of January!

You can read Lin's interview in our last challenge here.

For this photo inspiration, Lin shared that the "little thing" that

inspired her was the soft pink cookie heart with the flowers.

Inspiring Standouts Challenge #77

Thank you all so much for joining us the last two weeks for 
Inspired By All the Little Things challenge #77!  
We love seeing how much you are enjoying the new two-week format 
and how you were inspired in all of your creative projects!

I would like to thank Linda Snodgrass for being our Creative Guest!

Lin and I have chosen the submissions we feel have earned
a special Inspiring Stand Out badge this week!
***

Lin's choice:

#7 ElizStewart

I love all the sweet little critters that are colored so beautifully 
and her sponged background is awesome.

***

My choice: 

 

#11 Sandcastle Stamper

Kelly's card warmed my heart with the spirit of friendship. I love how all the
critters are looking squarely at you, just like in the inspiration photo. 
Even the fox (who at first glance looks like he is looking at the reindeer) 
is smiling straight at you! I love the sentiment and background, too!

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Kelly!

Please go ahead and display the badge on your blog!

Thank you again to everyone who played along with us this week! 

All the entries were lovely!

We will be back in one hour with a brand new challenge at 5:00 AM PST.

What "little thing" inspires you?

For this challenge, I have invited my talented friend Linda Snodgrass

of Lin's Craft Corner to be our featured designer for the month of January!

I asked Lin to share the following:

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

The name of my blog is Lin's Craft Corner. 

I started it in 2011 after my BFF, Colleen of One Smile Lifts A Spirit 

started her blog. I decided I needed a blog, too, and Colleen helped 

me set it up so I could start entering my cards in challenges.

2. What is your style of card making?

I consider myself a CAS (clean and simple) type of cardmaker using 

bold, bright colors, but I also enjoy the next level with some layers. 

3. What "little thing" inspired you about the photo inspiration?

  When I saw this photo inspiration, I thought, "Oh, no, I don't have any critter 

stamp sets and I don't usually create with them!" But then the foxes 

caught my eye and I remembered this Kay Miller set with a fox.

4. Tell us something about yourself that we may not know?

One thing people may not know about me is that I belong to Beta Sigma Phi,

which is a Women's International Group. We call it our Sorority group,

but it has nothing to do with college sororities. It is a social group, but we also

perform service projects to help others. I have been in the group for 17 years

and have formed many lasting relationships!
