Heart SNSS Inspiration Challenge #17 {12-06-11}

With the start of December I'm introducing a fun new element to our Inspiration Challenges...weekly guest designers! Each week a non-team member will be sharing a sample for the challenge with us. If you'd like to be considered for a guest spot, all you have to do is play along with us! And the best part is, as a thank you for being our guest you'll get a complimentary digi!

I've got a yummy inspiration picture to share today...I was definitely in a hot cocoa kind of mood when I went image hunting on Pinterest! Take a look at what I stumbled on:

SNSS_IC17_tbu

Using the picture above (and attached below), make a card, project, altered item, or anything else your mojo inspires you to make. It can be based on the colors, the textures, the theme...anything! I've pulled out a few colors, for those of you who love to use them as your jumping off point. I've also highlighted a few of the different textures and patterns in the picture, in case you'd rather use those as inspiration. Remember, there is no right or wrong, just be inspired and have fun! Upload your art to the gallery here at SCS, and use the keyword SNSSIC17 (note: you do not have to use a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps image to play along, but to be considered for the Sweet 'n Sassy Spotlight you do). Feel free to add the link to your gallery upload here in this thread! While there is NO time limit to play along in this challenge, we'll post a new one each Tuesday morning!

Oh - make sure you use the challenge keyword when you upload. You don't have to use a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps image (but we love it when you do). If you don't, just the challenge keyword is all you need. If you do use one of our stamps, make sure to add one of our keywords as well.

You can also see the challenge photo, my sample, and a sample from our special guest, Crafty Math Chick, attached below.

Here is the whole challenge gallery.

Here is my sample: Peppermint Cocoa I went with the hot cocoa theme and the colors in the photos. I had to use an adorable Cocoa Mouse stamp, since it is Crazy 4 Cocoa month at SNSS!

Here is a sample from our very special guest, Crafty Math Chick: Cup of Cocoa

If you aren't familiar with our general challenge guidelines, I encourage you to check them out. Also, if you are unfamiliar with uploading here at SCS, this may help: Sharing Your Art in the Gallery.

And of course.....we need a winner from last week's challenge! To choose randomly, I assigned every upload a number and asked my daughter to pick a number. The winner is DJRants!!! Congrats!! Send a pm to Korin and she'll get you all set up with your choice of one clear stamp set or 5 digis!! We also need a winner from ALL of the challenge entries for the whole month......okcapitolgirl. Congrats!!! Follow the same instructions as above, and send your pm to Korin!

Ok...go get crafty! Have fun!

Thanks Korin! Thanks Anita! I was so honored to have been asked. I hope I didn't let you down. I love designing with little Cocoa mouse.
