Design Team Inspiration
Karin has great memories of a vacation in Costa Rica! She would love to return to see the wildlife, beaches and rainforests once more! Her window design is filled with critters from Toucan Do It, I Like Naps and Toadally Awesome. She created the rainforest scene with A Bug Deal leaves and branches and also Palm Trees and Happy Hibiscus.
Christy dreams of a trip to France! After hand-drawing an Eiffel Tower (so amazing), she filled a scene with images from Bicycle Built for You, Apple-solutely Awesome, Fly High, Treat Cart Add-On: Coffee and Tea-rrific Day!
The desert is the destination of choice for Samantha, so she used Critters in the Desert to create a fun design! I love the clever snapshot she included with Selfie Frames and Tiny Friends!
Franci used the iconic Lucky Cat from My Lucky Charm to represent her desire to visit Japan! She made the simple design with stenciled birch trees in the background!
Bon voyage! Adventure awaits on a cruise depicted in Catherine‘s tropical card! As always, she used some clever swaps to create the cruise ship. The bat wings from Woodland Critter Huggers Bat Add-On became the bow of the ship, while she used dies from Build-A-House and Build-A-Barn to cut windows for the upper decks. She used Palm Trees, Ocean Wave Borders and Sandy Beach Accents for the tropical locale, then she added luggage and a sentiment from Car Critters: Road Trip, a mouse from You Autumn Know and a hat from Special Delivery.
Narwhals from Critters in the Arctic and Mermaid for You represent Joyce‘s desire to visit Norway! Her charming card also features Just Stitching Hearts and the Bubbles Stencil.
Samantha is looking forward to a road trip to see more states in the U.S. with her family! And what better way to show that than to create a card with Car Critters, On the Road and Stitched Hillside Borders! The balloon and sentiment are from Party Animal.
Mimi‘s brilliant card shows us a fun photographic safari, the ultimate sightseeing trip! She laid the foundation with Desert Canyon Backdrop and a fun watering hole. Then she added critters from Wild for You, and Year Four along with Bicycle Built for You, Dad + Me, Ocean Shell-fie and Kanga-rrific Add-On. I love how she created binoculars using the glasses from Little Woodland Library.
We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Sightseeing challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 181 – Awesome Autumn!
Fun new theme!
WOW, are these every superb! Could you please post more info on Mimi’s card? Specifically, I am interested in how she made the water and how she treated the critters in it.
Thanks so much! This is a great item for me to find in my daily avalanche of email.
