Cozy Quilt LEAD and Show Stoppers

Thank you for joining us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Cozy Quilt. I hope you were able to find some time to cozy up with your own cozy quilt after you made your card!


A big thank you goes to the Curtain Call readers, followers, participants and to our sponsor, Lil' Inker Designs, who is providing a $30 gift certificate to our LEAD!



The LEAD of the Cozy Quilt challenge is...



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

Here is some applause from the crew...

I love Torico's card! All of the patterns and colors just go together amazingly well!

Torico's card was a wonderful take on the colours and squares in the inspiration photo. Had a very "cozy" feel to it.

Torico's card has the perfect choice of colors/patterns. Love how the wood button and jute twine finish it off so nicely.





The Show Stoppers for the Cozy Quilt challenge are...


Love Meghan's take on the challenge...So pretty! Even though it's somewhat clean and simple, it still has the comforting texture that reminds me of a cozy quilt!

Meghan was my fave, her quilt design is impeccable and I love the solids mixed with one print.

What I like about Meghan's card is that she took the inspiration photo and came up with a totally different pattern. Love the colors and design.





Michelle created a beautiful quilted and stitched heart ending up with a lovely clean and layered card.

Love the pretty patchwork heart on Michelle's card. Perfect colors and fabulous patterns.




I love the bold colors on the white background. The subtle differences in tones is such a great touch on Harriet's simple quilt squares and creating them at an angle made this card a real standout.

Cuppa Cocoa LEAD and Show Stoppers

Cocoa, mugs, coffee, marshmallows, rustic colors...all kinds of warmth in the gallery this week!  Thank you for joining us for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Cuppa Cocoa.


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





The LEAD of the Cuppa Cocoa challenge is...



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

Here is some applause from the crew...

 Love that Deepti looked past the obvious and went with the colors and elements for her card!

 So many wonderful elements on her card! Love the cork ring, chevrons and vellum sentiment tag. Fabulous focal cluster!

 I adore the variety of textures and patterns on Deepti's card... the cork circle, the vellum sentiment, the chevrons and dots...it's wonderfull. And the golden touch with the leaves is so rich.





The Show Stoppers for the Cuppa Cocoa challenge are...


 I love Joanne's heart with the paint splatters in the background. The layered flower and the buttons are so pretty. I also love the sweet heart.

Joanne's card has such a sweetness to it that leaves me swooning! The soft colors and rustic textures are divine!




I am voting for In Pursuit of Stampin'ness because of the watercolour stamping - a wonderfully different look.

 I love all of the little details that 'The Pursuit of Stampin'ess' used on her card, and the colors are amazing!



   Lisa's card loaded with just the right amount of rustic layers and elements!


 I love the warmth in Christyne's card that evokes the inspiration perfectly! The sponging and stitching are perfect compliments to her design.



This card is totally adorable! The sweet sentiment banner, the hearts, the "coffee ring" and the nontraditional colours make this card a winner!


 I was drawn to Audrey's card for the colors and how she created a pattern on the cup.


 Cathy's card is the perfect mix of pattern, color and warmth. I love the diagonal ribbon treatment and that flawless bow!



Join us tomorrow morning for a new challenge and sponsor!
