Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Some exciting news, did you know we had a blog hop last week?  we did! It was on Friday.  If you missed it, just scroll down and check it out.  It used wonderful Shy Bear images and by leaving comments on all the blogs, you could win three images from Squigglefly.  The winner for that will be announced next Monday right here during the challenge!!
 
So, are you ready for this week's challenge? Well, first let me tell you last week's winner.  We had a great challenge last week to create a Thank You card.   We had a beautiful card submitted by Lawren using Retro Tulips from Squigglefly artist Jan Beljo. Congrats!
 
Please contact Holly at usyungs@gmail.com for your prize.

This week's challenge is SFC2813 Emboss Me!

Add something embossed to your card, it can be any of the wonderful backgrounds that create embossing, any of the spellbinders die cuts that have embossing, any brass stencils that use dry embossing, or add a great embellishment or cardstock that already comes embossed.
Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted this cute little boy theme card with an adorable image from Cheryl Alger.  I love the swirl embossing, which she sanded down to show texture and color.  The cute image is called "Its a Jump Rope Kind of Day Max."
 

 Jan Marshall  created this beautiful card covered in embossed hearts.  The flowers are a gorgeous new image just released from artist Diana Garrison called Cone Flowers.  She added a perfect Thinking of You sentiment to go with it. 

 
Elizabeth Hart designed a lovely card using a beautiful frame from artist Pamela Lehto called Lattice Frame.  Inside the frame, she added a gorgeous image from Alecia Blake called Beach Birthday Girl. She used a wonderful embossing pattern that makes me think of little bubbles on the ocean.

 
Charlene Mitchell used an stunning image Birds and Ladybugs from Cheryl Alger to create this beautiful card.  This fun image set comes with three different adorable scenes for only $3.00!  I love the embossed backgound she used.  The sentiment is "a Big Little Hello" which is by none other than Charlene herself!!
  
Darlene Pavlick created a wonderful summer theme card using a lovely stamp from Fawn Palmer.  This image is called Just Flying By  and it comes with the adorable teddy bear as well as the sentiment shown plus two additional sentiments for only $3!
 

Tammy Hair created a stunning card using a brand new image from Fawn Palmer called Beautiful Mermaid.  Isn't her card just stunning?  It comes with the wonderful sentiment shown plus two additional sentiments for only $3.  Gorgeous, Tammy!
 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Cheryl Alger called Max and his Ladybug.  Isn't he great?  I added a light blue embossed background and a trail of ladybugs.  The sentiment I am using is from Squigglefly artist  Charlene Mitchell and is called A Big Little Hello.
  
I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card to play along this week.  You are always welcome to play no matter what images you use, but to be eligible for the prize, please use at least one stamp from Squigglefly!

We realize that many people don't have blogs, but instead participate in our challenges using on-line galleries. We love that you are helping us spread the word about Squigglefly! However, many of the galleries require passwords and not all of us at Squigglefly belong to every gallery or group. To help us make sure we don't miss your artwork, we are asking that if you do use an online gallery that you leave us a comment on the challenge post. That way we'll be sure to have a member of the Squigglefly team who is a member of that gallery (SCS, CDAC, PCP, etc) can validate your entry.

1.) If you up-load your creation to any on-line photo galleries, please use SFC2813 for your keywords when loading your creation photo there. 1b) please leave a comment on the challenge blog post so that someone from Squigglefly can validate your entry for the prize.

2) You don't *have* to include a Squigglefly image on your creation, but in order to qualify for the prize you will need to use one! You can also combine SF images with non-SF images to qualify! Don't have one? There are several FREEBIES you can grab from the Squigglefly store, hop on over there. Those images will qualify you for the prize.

3) You have one week to complete the challenge and it will close Sunday evening. The winner will be announced at the same time the new challenge post comes up...so be sure to check back EVERY Monday to see if you are a winner!
