Inspiration Challenge and Blog Hop Winner

Happy Monday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. Hope you all had a good weekend. We spent much of it watching all the memorial programs dedicated to the September 11 terrorist attack. It stirred up a lot of emotion in both my husband & I.

On Sunday after Church we went to watch our grandsons play football. It was a long day because they both lost their games. But it's family time and the boys love us coming to watch.


The card I am showing today is one I made for the new inspiration challenge being sponsored by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps on splitcoaststampers.  Taylor is the challenge hostess and she provided us with this great photo to use as our inspiration.

My flower images are from the Sweet 'n Sassy Set- "your friendship".
I colored the balloon flower images with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
My patterned paper is from Stampin-Up's- "ski slope" collection.

I added a red button, a  punched brown border and some bakers twine to complete this card.

Regarding my blog candy: I picked a winner last week, Michelle Crandall and had no response from her. There was no link to her when she left me a comment. So I have no way to contact her and for that reason I am choosing a new winner.

I am again using the service from random.org to generate the winner.

True Random Number Generator#62 is Bernie. Here is what she said:

Result: 62

So congrats Bernie. I do have a way to contact you so you will be hearing from me shortly.

Some other challenges for my card:

2.  Crafty Boots blog has an anything goes challenge.
3.  The Outlawz has an "inspired by a song" challenge. You are my sunshine is my song.

That's it for this post. So until next time............

    What a pretty card, Mary! The flowers look gorgeous against the background paper. The Baker's Twine is the perfect touch!
