So, do you remember back on the 1st of January when I thought it'd be a great idea to replicate Lisa Arana's 100 card challenge? Well, on Friday I decided that enough was enough and this weekend I was going to conquer the challenge, no matter what. With 17 creations to go....I spent 10 hours locked in my cupboard...and came up with (along with 3 atcs and 2 cards....) 12 twinchies! (this is not cheating, but being creative with the rules!!!):
I had planned on making a bunch of inchies...but boy, are they TINY! Even too small for me!
I figured some of these twinchies would make great card toppers.
Stamps used include Lawn Fawn Just My Type, The Cat's Pyjamas Loving Mew, My Cute Stamps Matryoshka Dolls & You're Tweet (all available from MTDS), SU! Tiny Tags and some randoms from Elyzbells Art Stamps and Stamping Bella.
The upside of the challenge? I used a whole lot of stamps and paper that I'd been hoarding.
The downside? It slowly drove me crazy.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement from my blog friends during this stamp drought (especially during my marathon making sessions this weekend!!).
Will I be doing the challenge again? Never!
Now....to the shops!!!
Woohoo!! You did it!!!! And each and every one of those twinchies is adorable-I'm not sure I can even pick a favorite (but the telephone, sheep, and queen of everything would all be in the running). Now go out and buy yourself something crafty!!

I kinda like you crazy! Well done on finishing the challenge, for using your stash and for making totally gorgeous twinchies.xxx
ReplyDeleteWell Done! You did it! I have to challenge myself the same way :) I'll go to see craft fair in Belfast. But after that... I''ll try to do the same - brilliant idea! Twinchies are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWell done!! I'm very glad that the 3 ATCs helped you reach your goal!!
ReplyDeleteYour twinchies are very cute, and yes they would make lovely little toppers on smaller cards. Enjoy the shopping spree, and I look forward to our swap.
