"Whimsical Wednesday Challenge and Big News!"

Hello Whimsical crafters. I hope everyone is having a fabulous week. Welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge and it's official new home! Before we get started today, I have some announcements to make. This one has been a LONG time coming. I have been working on my own stamp line since LAST October, and am finally ready to start started releasing them.  I can hardly wait, and am so excited to be able to share them all with you. The release week is just around the corner so stay tuned for more information. Here is a tiny sneak peek:)

I currently am looking for some new designers to join the fantastic Whimsical Wednesday Design Team and showcase my brand new stamp line. I have permanent and guest designer positions available. Please e-mail me for more information. Just click on the contact button above for my e-mail. For some reason anytime I list my e-mail in a blog post I get tons of spam. I look forward to hearing from you all:)  

Now for more exciting news! This Friday, November 4, at 7pm EST is Cindy's Scraptastic blog hop. You will get to meet Cindy's new design team, and got lots of crafty inspiration as we all showcase her brand new digital stamp line! You can get Cindy's new digital stamps now at her online store over at her blog:)  

The blog hop will run through the weekend until Sunday at 10pm EST. You won't want to miss it, so be sure to come back on Friday to join in on the fun!

Now onto our challenge for this week. This week we had some last minute changes...I am sure you all know about those. Originally our challenge was to create a project about something we are thankful for! At the last minute it was decided to go ahead with an anything goes. So this week we are having an "anything goes" challenge! Here is my card for today:

This card is for my hubby for our Anniversary. I am so thankful for him and our love! I cut the frame from the Elegant Edges Cartridge, the birds, and the hearts are from the online Silhoutte store. The font is from my computer. I inked all the edges of the cuts with Stampin' Up chocolate chip ink. I pop-dotted everything for added dimension. All the cardstock is from My Minds Eye Lost and Found Collection.

And here is what the awesome Design Team came up with:

Chloe

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Chloe this week. She certainly will be missed. This will be her last post. She has a plate full of exciting new things going on. They are going to be enough to keep her busy until 2013! Up you read that right 2013:(, so she will not be able to keep up with bloggy commitments. Chloe has promised to come back and re-join Whimsical Wednesdays at that time. Chloe, I am holding you to that my sweet friend;) We all wish you well in your new endeavors, and thank you for all the wonderful inspiration you brought to Whimsical Wednesdays.

I am thrilled to announce the the rest of the Whimsical Wednesday's Design Team:

Thank you ladies for the fabulous inspiration you bring each week, and most of all your friendship and support!
