TLL You Inspire Me Challenge

My new challenge at The Latte Lounge is "You Inspire Me." We all follow blogs, see pictures in galleries, and DT submissions for challenges. Sometimes one of these cards or projects strikes a cord with you; sometimes everything you see from a designer inspires you to create. Your challenge is to make a card or project inspired by someone else. I encourage you to go back and leave some love for the person who has inspired you - believe me, it matters!

My card is inspired by Stacie, a.k.a. Hestia's Helper. Everytime I see one of her cards I wonder, how did she do that? Can I do it too? I was particularly inspired by this card to try such a fancy fold. This card is my attempt. I used I love you this much Cynthia from The Stamping Boutique. I used papers from my minikit (available for free this month - see link below). The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
1. Top Tip Tuesday #20 - anything girlie
2. Do It With Digis #3 - Valentines
4. Polkadoodles #5 - hearts
5. Stamp Something - Feb. digi day
6. Allsorts Challenge #89 - love, love, love
7. Sentimental Sundays #41 - Happy Valentine's Day

I made a second project to say thank you to the ladies of the
Healthy Lifestyle group on The Latte Lounge. They've inspired me to recommit to my healthy lifestyle this year. Thank you! The image is a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft.

There are several other challenges going on at The Latte Lounge. Stacie is encouraging us to choose our challenges cheerfully to get several entries for one card. Melissa has a teal, pink, and black color challenge. Rhonda wants us to make Valentines with glitter and bling. I think you could make a card for all four challenges - give it a try.

Happy Crafting!

Jen! Thank you SO MUCH for the kind words!! You're right, it really does mean the world to hear such wonderful things!
Your take on this card style is PERFECT!! It looks so complicated, but it's really quite simple and the end result is stunning! Your papers worked perfectly too... I don't know why I don't think of using digi papers more, because yours are terrific and work with everything!
