Today we have a special treat for you! Both of our wonderful Samanthas have Inspired by a Book, Movie or Song ideas for you!


Samantha Casey created a fun take on Where’s Waldo with our Tiny Friends sets! She framed all the people with a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame. I love how she framed “Waldo” with the magnifying glass from Hey Lady!


Samantha Mann was inspired by the Disney movie, Pocahontas! She says her favorite characters are Meeko and Flit. She used raccoons from Holiday Party Animal and Critter Concert for Meeko, and the cute hummingbird from Gleeful Gardens stars as Flit. The bathtub from Rub-A-Dub-Dub stands in for the canoe while Samantha customized one of the mermaids from Mermaid for You as Pocohontas. I love her beautiful background, inked blended perfectly then die cut with Peekaboo Backdrop!

So, you still have plenty of time to join us for this challenge! We can’t wait to see what inspires you and how you will show us!

Catherine was inspired to create a brilliant “Happy New Year around the world” card!


Catherine used Peekaboo Backdrop to divide the amazing geographical vignettes. She cut the backdrop from black glitter cardstock from the Autumn Sparkle pack. She created the background with Stitched Fireworks and colorful inking. Then she added more sparkle with Chunky Glitter. She added the greeting to the top using Winter Wavy Sayings and a small Simple Wavy Banner.


Please see the supply list below for links to the sets that Catherine used for each of the adorable little scenes.

Top left: New York City – Village Heroes (taxi and fire hydrant), Virtual Friends (waving mouse), Let’s Bokeh (clock and Time Square ball), Plan on It: Calendar (2023), Simple Road Border, Large and Small Mini Slimline Stackables (Time Square building).

Bottom left: Tokyo – Shadow Box Card Mountain Add-On (Mt. Fuji), Build-A-Barrel: Apple (shrine), Bubbles of Joy (mouse), Let’s Go Nuts (scarf), Stitched Hillside Borders.

Top right: North Pole – Snow Cool (igloo), Crazy Antics (mice), Party Animal (party hats), Plan on It: Holidays (champagne glasses).

I absolutely love this clever design, Catherine! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration!
