"Happy New Year" or "Favorite Project" Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Good morning Whimsical Crafters. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Even though I was completely exhausted by the time the day came to an end, I was sad to see it go! So much preparing goes into the day, and it is over with a blink of an eye. We had a fabulous day. The three year old was specially fun this year because she understood about "Santa" coming. As a matter of fact, she kept saying "I am so excited for my first Christmas" LOL.

For our Whimsical Wednesday Challenge today we thought it would be fun to either upload your favorite project that you created this past year, or create a new card/project to celebrate the New Year. I chose to share my favorite card with you from this year.

Here is the details from my original post on March 17. I used the Accent Essentials cartridge for the card base and welded it together in my gypsy. I really like finding fun shapes to use as card bases, and I thought this one was perfect because it looks like a big sun or a flower. I embossed only the top portion of the blue layer so it would look like clouds and then inked it with Stampin' Up White Kraft Ink. Everything is cut out twice and pop dotted to add dimension. Here is a list of the rest of supplies used for this card:
Cardstock: Kraft, Stampin' Up & Bazzil
Create A Critter: Grass (welded together), Tulips, and Snail
Simply Charmed: Tree
Doodle Charms: Sun
Peachy Keen Stamps: Simple Sallies Face Assortment (snail) PK-531 and Happy Lashes Assortment (sun) PK-460
Twine: HoneyDew from The Twinery
Tim Holtz Alterations: Swirls Set embossing folder
Color box fluid chalk, stickles, glossy accents, white jelly roll pen


And now presenting the projects from the oh so talented Design Team:

As I was uploading the "Celebrate New Year" projects I was thinking about how we are going to have to get used to witting 2012. It always takes me a month or so to get into the habit. All of the designers projects looks fabulous as always. I think we have an even split between new and old projects.  Don't forget to click on the designers names to head on over to their blogs and leave them some love:)

I realized that I never announced the winner for the "Winter Fun" challenge for three of Cindy's digital stamps. That winner is #27 Kathy Curry. Congrats Kathy. Please e-mail me so that I can give you the details of how to chose your digis. Thanks Cindy for the sponsorship:) 

This week one random winner that uploads their project will get a pair of pink Cutter Bee Scissors:

We now have three Whimsical Challenges opened to keep you busy. The Christmas Tags challenge, Home For The Holidays challenge, and this one.

A quick reminder that all Whimsical Designs Stamps are now shipping. You can see all four sets by clicking on the shop tab.

If you chose to upload your favorite project from this past year, please treat this as you would any other post for a new project. In order to be eligable for the prize you must create a new post saying that you entered your project here, with a link to the challenge (in other words you can't just upload your favorite project from its original post). Any questions just shoot me an e-mail.

Here are the guidelines for the challenge:
1. Upload your favorite card/project from this past year or create a brand new card/project to celebrate the New Year.
2. You are only allowed to submit one project per challenge  
3. Please put in your post that you entered your project into this challenge with a link to this blog. I do not ask that you make a project just for my challenge. I know that there are lots of fun challenge blogs out there and I encourage you to play along in as many as you want:) So go ahead and enter your project where ever you like.
4. In order to become eligible for the prizes you must enter the challenge, become a follower of this blog, and leave a comment under our post's
5. Link your project to InLinkz by January 11 at 12:01am EST .

We have a brand new challenge every week, but each challenge stays opened for two weeks. Since the 'Christmas Tag" challenge was something a little different I am keeping that opened until  New Years Day. We love seeing all your projects each week, and all appreciate your support. Most of all don't forget to have fun:)

Just in case I don't post again until next week (I have been so busy spending time with family, and enjoying the holidays), I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year on behalf of myself and the Whimsical Design Team;)
