10th Blogiversary Week 4

{creative chick} 10th Blogiversary Celebration | shurkus.com

Have you heard yet? I am celebrating 10 years of blogging!

Each Tuesday this month you will want to be sure to visit my blog. I will share with you some special party guests (see below) and I have asked them to “CASE” a project from my blog. What does that mean? They get to copy or use some thing I have posted on here for inspiration. They have 10 years of ideas to pick from! They each have browsed my archives and found a card or project on my blog that has inspired them to create and they will be sharing with you that creation! Fun, right? Also be sure to read below how YOU can help me celebrate and see all the FABULOUS sponsors I have prizes from to share with YOU!

  • Informational post about my Blogiversary Celebration
  • Week 1’s feature and party guests
  • Week 2’s fun and inspiration
  • Week 3’s festivities

First let me share with you what I chose to CASE this week. Anytime I scroll past this card I made back in 2012 for a Blog Named Hero’s Challenge it catches my eye. I love the white pigment ink on kraft and the 3 bold butterflies in the center of the card.

So I decided to stick with the white pigment ink on kraft and finally got to play with this new waves background from Hero Arts. I just LOVE this stamp. Then I decided to stick with the same layout. 3 images in the center of the card vertically. I chose not to use a sentiment on this card, and I wanted the colors to be a bit more subtle then the original. The fish and scallop shell are Fred Mullett stamps and the “sea- jug post” is an older stamp by Renaissance Art Stamps (I’m not even sure they are around anymore). I used Distress Inks to stamp them on Distress Watercolor Cardstock and fussy cut them out.

    Hi Jenn, just wanted to say thanks for your lovely comments on the cards I linked in. You have so many beautiful projects I was spoiled for choice. It’s been fun helping you celebrate 10 years blogging. I don’t do any of the social media you mentioned, although I am thinking of joining facebook, so I have just shared the blogiversary logo on my posts. Hope that’s OK. Congrats again and thanks for your continuing inspiration. HUgz

    Loving both cards! The white on kraft is wonderful and I like how the cards are different, but both wonderful! One brighter and bolder, the other more weathered looking! Thanks so much for sharing!
