Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Guest Designer



Please join us in welcoming Curtain Call Guest Designer, Heather Jensen!  Heather will be working with us for the February 1st challenge that will go live tomorrow at 8:00 AM CST!  You won't want to miss what she and the crew girls have whipped up this week...nor, will you want to miss out on the new inspiration challenge and fabulous new sponsor!



Hi, I am Heather Jensen.  I am married and live with my husband and fourteen year old son in Iowa.  I work at our local high school as a level 2 Special Ed (behavior disorder) program assistant.  I love my job, but enjoy crafting in my spare time.

I started off scrap booking, but quickly changed over to card making when I soon found out my son was camera shy.  You can't have a scrapbook without photos, right?  It has been 5 years since I started my blog and I love every minute of it.

Love Letter LEAD and Show Stoppers


There was SO much love in the gallery this week!  Thank you for joining us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Love Letter.


A big thank you goes to the Curtain Call readers, followers, participants and to our sponsor, DeNami Design, who is providing a gift certificate to our LEAD!


The LEAD of the Love Letter challenge is...



Congrats, Lee-Anne!  Please email Stacey at slschaf771@aol.com to accept your prize!

Here is some applause from the crew...

I love the bold turquoise splat behind the glittery heart.......love the contrast!!!

 I love the bold red and aqua, the glitter adds just the right amount of something something to Lee Anne's card!

 Love the simple, but fun design of card. The glittery heart looks fabulous with the blue splash.

 I loved the splash/splat of turquoise with the shiny red heart. Great CAS card with a big statement.

I love the fabulous CAS design of Lee Anne's.





The Show Stoppers for the Love Letter challenge are...



 I love the warm colours, the fabulous die cuts and sentiment on Joanne's card!

So many great entries...LOVE Joanne's card for all her wonderful details.

 Joanne's love letter brightened up the gallery so much with those orangey-red flowers that mimic the inspiration graphic! Beautiful!





I love Lindsey's card because of the layers and clean crisp execution.

 I adore Lindsey's card! So many details but still so CAS and I love that big sentiment!




  I really love the colors, and the different textures that Lilian created on her card!




I love that Marybeth added three little love letters on her card - each in such fun patterns!




 I love the repeated "loves" and the pop of that gorgeous pink heart.



Join us tomorrow morning for a new challenge and sponsor!
