Some Fun News And A New Chllenge Is On Its Way Too

The fun news right now was shared by IO Design Team memberDaniela Dobson at For The First Time.  She shared a 2 page publication, in the Swedish scrapbook magazine "Scrapbooking mm", with us.  The magazine owner approached Daniela to design the cards.  Way to go and congratulations, Daniela!!

 

Above is the cover if you are interested in purchasing it.  Below is the first page of the article using Daniela's designs. Daniela used Alesa Baker's Lg. Solid Bird and Solid Cherry Branch for both cards below.  The background on the second card was created using Cover-A-Card^TM Wood Grain and the words are Alesa Baker's Blooming Spring. 

 

Here is her second page.  On her first card she chose Sarah Phelps clear stamp set Easter Bunny for the bunny and butterfly, and Tammi Potter's clear stamp set Easter Seals for the words.  The background is Cover-A-Card^TM Medallion.

 

The last card does not use any stamps.  Aren't those bright and cheerful cards?  Thanks again for sharing with us, Daniela!  Check out Daniela's blog, For The First Time, for more great creations and ideas, from scrapbook pages to cards, and even more.  Also, if you want a close up to catch all of the materials she used, click on the page and it will pop up in a new window.

So hey you all, out there in blogland, if you have an Impression Obsession card published in a magazine, etc.  Let me know.  We would love to give you a 'shout out' and to share your wonderful creations while we're at it.

Next on our list is your reminder about our challenge coming up this Thursday, April 1,.....and it is not an April Fools' Joke either because we are having the Celebrating MOM Challenge, so we can get our cards done early!

I hope you will all join us for the fun and invite your friends too.  If you would like to prepare early for the challenges, here are the guidelines:

• Impression Obsession stamps only please.
• Please provide the name(s) and/or stamp number(s) with your email to me.  If you have a problem finding this information, sometimes I can help.
• Entries will be accepted until that Saturday at midnight.
• You email your entry to me using the Email Shirley link provided near the top of the second sidebar to the right.
• All participants' cards will be posted here and also permanently in our IO Customer Album in the very next sidebar over.
• The drawing will be the next day on Sunday for an Impression Obsession $25 Gift Certificate, to be chosen from those customers participating in the challenge. I will be using Random.org to select the winner.

I can't wait to see the fun we have on the next challenge!!  Hope your weekend is turning out great and thanks for stopping by all!
