Dare 2B Artzy January Challenge!

We have a brand new challenge this month over at Dare 2B Artzy for January! Start your 2019 year off right and get crafty. Remember that someone will win some D2BA goodness just by entering!

This month we are asking you create something inspired by your favorite season. I really enjoy all the seasons, I love the warmth of summer, crisp days of fall, spring flowers and even the pure white snow in the winter. But I am just not quite done celebrating Christmas so I am throwing one more Christmas card at you because it is truly one of my favorite seasons!

Here is a look at my card:

I used not only the doodled poinsettia stamp set but also the end strips from several of the lovely D2BA Christmas patterned papers.

Here is the final card, simple clean and oh so easy!

AND there is a new video up on the Dare 2B Artzy YouTube channel tomorrow to show you exactly how I created this!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! make sure you get your favorite season represented in this month’s challenge!

Dare 2B Artzy Year in Review

Hello friends and family!  I am hoping all of you are ready for the holidays and have plans to share time with family, friends and loved ones!

Here in Iowa it has been COLD and we are tucked in tight for winter months ahead! Great time for crafting and creating. Today I get to share some of my favorite posts from the past year at D2BA! So here is a list of some of my favorites!

The first two cards I am sharing use the same stamp set. I LOVE the Butterfly Inspiration set! I have used it multiple times and love the different ways I can use these delicate images.

I have done a little bit of Bible journaling with my D2BA stamps as well and this is a favorite from this past year, the stamp set this time is Be Yourself :

Then one of my favorite newer cards I have created is this one featuring the Squirrel! Stamp set and some of the coordinating papers. I just love how the dies work to cut out all these little leaves on the patterned paper!

And what would a year of favorite post be without an alpaca?! I adore this stamp set, Alpaca Cake, there is the Spit Happens set as well, it might be one of my all time favorites ? I think I have shared it 3 times over the last year but this last one I think is my favorite with the swinging cactus pinata!

Thanks for stopping by today and again Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

Have a Happy Colorful New Year!
