Tutorial Challenge at the Latte Lounge! March 5th thru March 19th

Hello and happy weekend!

Hope everyone is getting a little time to P-L-A-Y!!

It's time for a new Saturday challenge at the Latte Lounge.

This week, I have chosen a Tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers called a "Wiper Card".

This is a fun and easy card to put together and only takes one piece of card stock and a few small scraps for decorating/embellishing!

When it's closed, it fits into a standard A2 size envelope!

Pull out the sides and the little tab pops up, like a windshield wiper, hence the name "Wiper Card"!

I think this is a fun and easy challenge and it would be great practice to do a card that's just a little bit different than a plain, ole' regular rectangle!

For my card, I chose to use the "Relax... Set" which is available at The Stamping Boutique! There are SIX separate digis in that set! I have used 5 for this project (the sentiment, the tub with Princess Jennifer Latte, the bar of soap, the towel bar and the lotion that pops up)!

This challenge is sponsored by The Stamping Boutique

and the winner will get to choose TWO images

from The Stamping Boutique Store!

It's a great time to shop TSB!

There's a 25% off sale running right now

and Tracey has released all KINDS of new and amazing images!

This challenge will run from Saturday, March 5th

through Saturday, March 19th!

CHALLENGE #1

The Stamping Boutique

T(texture) S(sparkle) B(buttons)

We thought there was no better way to start off the challenges 

than by using  the letters of TSB. 

So for your projects 

(they do NOT have to be cards...and scrapbooking is encouraged) 

we want to see some texture, 

lots of sparkle (we love sparkle), 

and buttons.

Can you handle that? 

Here's how I handled this challenge!!!

For my project, I chose to use:

Princess Jennifer Latte Shoe Shopping

which you can grab HERE at the TSB Store.

And BONUS!! 

TSB is having a 25% off S-A-L-E!!

~per rules on the sidebar of the challenge blog you do NOT have to use a TSB image but if you do....you will get entered for the prize 2 times. Also, if you make a scrapbooking page for your project you will be entered for the prize 2 times. 

(and just a little inside FYI....Tracey has just released some awesome scrapbooking images ;-) I know your excited about that!!)

So, grab your Texture, Sparkle and Buttons

and c'mon over and show us whatcha got!!

HERE is the link to the Challenge Blog

It's a pretty busy place, so if you don't see the Challenge Post
