It was a lot of fun seeing ideas from our members this week for IB196 & IB196C. Everyone is so talented and it is so fun to see where the inspiration will take you! It is also fun to see the Christmas inspiration being shared, it will make sending and delivering paper hugs a lot easier at Christmas time (a very busy time of year for all of us)! 

The winner, chosen by a DT member, of the IB196 challenge is this beauty from Rosemary.  This is such a  fresh, beautiful, wonderfully designed card!  You can see all the ways she was inspired by the photo, and her interpretation of the challenge is so inspiring!  

The honorable mention, chosen by a DT member, of the IB196 challenge is this GORGEOUS card (you have to check out her other version and tip to create the word JOY from the word YOU) from Betty  We loved all her gorgeous Christmas foliage as the focal with her oversized red glittered gold sentiments, such a gorgeous gake on Christmas splendor! Thank you for inspiring us!

 Congratulations Rosemary and Betty!

           Happy Thanksgiving, to all our friends in the US! 

The IB team is so very thankful to all who play along with our challenges - or just stop by to leave a little kindness!  

    Sending and delivering hugs, one card at a time...

Welcome to our newest challenge.  IB197 Color Challenge and IB197C Tag Color challenge are displaying some of our favorite things: Christmas/Holidays, and COLOR!  This challenge is different than our traditional photo challenges.  

We want to see YOU draw COLOR inspiration from the photos and YES, you can pick as many/few colors as you want to be "Inspired By" this week, just share with us which ones you chose to inspire all of us!  We want the photos to inspire you to pull out colors and ANY supplies/stamps you need or want to design with this week.  (You do NOT need to create a card with flowers or reindeer, (unless you want to), this is a COLOR challenge)!

As ALWAYS, our sketch is ALREADY inspired by the photos, so if you want/need to create a card for a Winter Birthday, Anniversary, Thank You, or for a recipient who celebrates another Holiday, PLEASE use the sketch and inspire us!

We can't wait to see if you are inspired by the colors in the  photo "IB" challenge, the colors in the  Christmas/Holiday photo "IBC" challenge, OR the sketch (you can use the sketch ANY way you like, and we have great sketch interpreters among us!)
