Words 2 Craft By #37: Change

Hi W2CB fans!  Time for January's challenge and with New Years' resolutions being a hot topic, we're offering up the following quote for a little inspiration:

If you wanna make the world a better place,

take a look at yourself and make a change.

- Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett

Sound familiar?  Now I don't make resolutions, but I do like to change up things once in a while. Lately, I've been neglecting my beautiful stash of DP.  I decided for my I-Teamer card that I would use up some brightly colored scraps from one of my favorite Doodlebug Designs' 6x6 pad and focus on one of the five inspirational sayings I have posted in my craft room with a watercolored banner.  

We can't wait to see what type of "change" you come up with for your projects.   Thanks so much for stopping by!

Words 2 Craft By January Challenge

Welcome old friends of W2SB!  It's the second Wednesday of the month and the start of the new W2CB challenge for January.  New year, new name, but the same fun word challenges you've come to love. 

This month, we are challenging you to create a project based on the following quote:

The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.

~Dave Weinbaum

 

 I liked this Dylusions sentiment from Ranger as soon as I saw it.  I think it challenges someone to seek new beginnings and so, on my card it went.  I followed it up with an embossing folder (Darice) and three butterflies stamped, heat embossed, die cut, and popped up.  I did add some glossy accents and Wink of Stella to the little guys but this photo doesn't do them justice.  And what has more beginnings than a butterfly?  Their 4-stage life cycle (eggs, caterpillar, chrysalis, and, ta da...butterfly) is pretty impressive :-)

Oh, did I mention that along with the name change from W2SB to W2CB, there will be two prizes awarded each month!!  The winning entry will receive our winner's badge AND a guest designer spot.  AND we will also select one lucky person to receive a gift certificate.  Retail therapy...gotta love it!

Please join in the fun this month and share your projects with our "beginnings" theme.  Tell your friends in blogland to come on over too.  The more the merrier! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy New Beginnings!
