Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Guest Designer


Please join us in welcoming our first Curtain Call Guest Designer, Leigh Penner of To the Full!  Leigh will be working with us for our May 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 our inspiration challenge and fabulous new sponsor!


Leigh Penner, To the Full

"My name is Leigh Penner & I'm so excited to be guest designing for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge! 

I am married to my husband, Cameron (18 years now -- wow!) & together we have three wonderful children: Austin (who'll turn 15 next week!), Jonah (11.5) & Sage (9.5). I work part time as a substitute teacher in our town (Morden, Manitoba, Canada).

I love paper crafting -- especially card making and scrapbooking! I started scrapbooking 11 years ago today -- when I hosted a CM party at my house. From that moment on, I was hooked! I started card making & stamping about three years ago and love it equally!

I am currently designing for Pretty Pink Posh, Reverse Confetti, Chickaniddy Crafts & CAS(E) This Sketch. I also recently started making videos for Paper Crafter's Library.

When I'm not working or stamping, I enjoy blogging (www.leighpenner.blogspot.com), reading, watching movies with my family & going for bike rides. I also enjoy doing taekwondo with my kids -- I have my 2nd degree black belt."

LOVE EVERYTHING about Tyra's card!! Perfection....I tell ya!!


 Love those banners of confetti that Tyra strung across her amazing card! A fabulous, fun and trendy entry!




Michelle's card is the perfect balance of the theme and the inspiration photo. Creative confetti too!



 I love the incredible dimension of Shirley's bright banners fading into the distance - a fantastic use of Distress Inks.




  I'm a sucker for shaker cards and sequins, and the feathers are a fabulous finishing touch!








  The sweet little bunny and creative carrot confetti are just too adorable!






  Clever use of brush image to make the feathers and love the use of enamel dots and gold glitter strips.




Join us tomorrow morning for a new challenge and sponsor!
