The first installment of the 7th movie is coming out next month and if you are anything like my you are thrilled about it!

Here is something you might not know about me...I used to be a moderator and staff member of a Harry Potter website years ago, yup that's right! I would help out on the forum, brain storm ideas for website activities, and create graphics to use on the page as needed. Just something for you to think about!

When I first saw this image I had to color her in right away, so I used the colors of red and gold, and added more of those shades on only in her robes and dress but in the card base and paper choices as well. I also created today's card based on the current Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge!Now on to more fun! You have four chances to win digis today! As you're hopping today, do the following:

An Inspiration Challenge!

So today is Sunday which means that it's time for another Crafty Ho's Challenge! That's right, a great group of friends of mine, the 'Ho's', created a challenge blog called Crafty Ho's Challenge Blog! Each week on Sunday we share with everyone more creations using the same challenge as inspiration!So for our challenge this week we challenge you to create a card based on the above picture, a bit of fun inspiration! I love the darker colors in this image with the purple tones, so I pulled out my Artful INKables stamp set Plant Prints! I stamped my image in Rich Razzleberry and then added some Memento Tuxedo Black to the edges to darken the outer part of the image. I also wanted to keep the card the same tones so I used only black and rich razzleberry, I think the whole card ended up just as I intended, I love when that happens!

Today is Tuesday, which means that it's time for a brand new release at Bugaboo Stamps! That's right today we are releasing all new images at the Bugaboo Store! For my card today I used this super fun Stella image, isn't she just TOO funny! I will admit that for the longest time Stella intimidated me, but man these images are just too fun to resist! Since she is dressed as a Fairy I went with lots of soft and sweet colors from the Olivia Basic Grey paper pad, and I paired them with these sweet purple pearls that I found.

I also entered this card into the current Stamp Something Challenge, which for this week is to create something using a digital image, I do that all the time! So I thought this card would be perfect for this challenge!

Operation Write Home Birthday Bash with Bugaboo Stamps!

Guess what?! Bugaboo Stamps is sponsoring a challenge for Operation Write Home's Birthday Bash! I think this is such a great cause and as soon as I heard about it I wanted to help as well, so I started making cards to donate. Here is one of the cards I made, it's simple but I think a lot of fun! In fact we are hosting a challenge, and our challenge is to create a card for holidays in general so it does not have to be a Christmas card it could be a Kwanzaa or Hanukkah card as well so I hope you will join us!Here is all sorts of information about this fabulous organization, Operation Write Home:

Operation Write Home is an organization that sends blank handmade greeting cards for all occasions to deployed service members to write home on. They’ve mailed approximately 500,000 cards so far—and are still going strong! Our challenge to you is to make cards to send to them for our nation’s heroes.

Please read the basic guidelines here; it’s important to; it’s important especially to remember that glitter is NOT allowed (it’s a safety hazard to our heroes), handmade cards only, and OWH needs A2 sized cards. “Operation Write Home” needs to be on the backs of your cards—it can be stamped, handwritten, or printed on labels. Please include a packing slip inside your box or envelope, and mail them to any of their shippers listed on the Mailroom page. In your package, you can also include notes written to a deployed service member.

Please consider entering a card for Operation Write Home into Jo-Ann’s Craft for a Cause Contest. You can win $1500, and OWH could win $50,000! How many boxes would that ship! Please see their site for detailed rules and regulations.
