Challenge Title: Hugs & Kisses
Hostess: stampinlibby aka Libby
Keyword: HYCCT1224
Date: Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

Hello everyone! I am honored to be here participating as a Hope You Can Cling To hostess for a second year in a row. Last year my challenge was in honor of my breast cancer-surviving grandma. A lot has happened since October 2011. In June her daughter, my mom, was diagnosed with breast cancer, too. Thankfully the mass of cells was tiny, the edges were clean and as of a couple weeks ago my mom has completed her radiation treatments and is hopefully cancer-free as well!

Again this year my challenge is in honor of my family. When your family is faced with this disease, you just want to shower them in hugs and kisses . So how about we do some stampy kissing? I'd like you to make a card using the KISSING TECHNIQUE .

You can find Beate's fabulous Kissing Technique tutorial HERE .

Cool! Will have to attack this tonight after work, why does work get in the way.

Thanks.

[bfinlay]

Thanks, Libby, I get stuck in a rut and don't try techniques enough! Here's my Kissed Butterflies for your challenge!

[mamaxsix]

So much for thinking I remembered how to do this technique without watching the tutorial! Back to the stamp cave to do it right this time!

[allee's]

Here is my kissed medallion .

[Crafty Julia]

Libby- great challenge! I used SU's Chocolate Chip and Color Pot's Red inks for my images- along with my own "cherry branch"- here's Cherry Pie

[stampinlibby]

Hi ladies!! I'm finally back from mom duties - volunteering at the school book fair then grocery shopping - cannot wait to check out your creations! YAY!! So excited you are playing my challenge! :-)

As my friend meerkat3 would say - stoopid day job! ;-)

[mamaxsix]

Better, but a bit smeary....such as it is: Kissed for You

[Crafty Julia]

Had to do another one- my yellow cone flower was "kissed" with chocolate brown- added a stencil background- Here's It's Your Day

[tessaduck]

Here's mine. I used a vlv sketch:

Fun challenge and technique! Here is my card, Bugs & Kisses!

[Crafty Julia]

I was challenged ALOT by this technique, so I think the 3rd time is a charm

Julia I'm so thrilled that you played along with my challenge THREE times! Wow!! :-) Yay!!! But one more thing you MAY want to try - you've been kissing different inks to the same stamp - want to try kissing two inked up STAMPS together? Check out Beate's tutorial linked above. :-) You might have fun with it!

[mamaxsix]

Kissing is so much fun that I had to do another! Grateful for Kissing

Oh my, just now I looked at octoberbabe post and saw the 'kissy kissy' and remembered what I did not do. Oh, I guess I will make another one with the right technique on it. I have a good memory but it is short!!! Anyway, here is my 'Hugs and Kisses" card that is wrong.

Kissing gators sounds dangerous!! LOL! Off to check out the new cards, yay!

I struggled with this challenge Libby. Not so much the technique as my color choices. I hope it will appeal to someone.
