CH #18 - Time to Celebrate!

Good morning!!

As this post is late, it's going to be short and sweet! J

A reminder that tomorrow is the last day to link up for:

Challenge #18 - Time to Celebrate

Create a celebratory card for any occasion. 

We've received some beautiful cards so far with all kinds of wonderful themes for celebrating.  Keep 'em coming!  Today I'm sharing my card featuring Fumi with Turtle from the Peek-a-Book Spring series.  You can purchase her in our online store along with any of our stamp series.  (We also carry the Sister Stamps line and we have all the new stamps in the store.)

I had a little bit of fun with some cute bright papers, the color red and a CAS layout. 

When making this card I was going for something that could be used for almost any celebration.  By using the bright fun cardstock, banner and the word "celebrate" helped to achieve my goal. 

I hope I was able to inspire you with something fun today. 

Don't forget the challenge ends tomorrow at noon, pst.  The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate and the Top 3 will receive a 10% discount on their shopping cart to our online store.  Either would come in handy since we've got some new stamps in.

If you're unsure if your card qualifies just click on the tab at the top labeled Challenge Info and you can verify it.  We would rather you be sure before linking up instead of sad that your card had to be deleted because it doesn't follow our rules.

Thanks for dropping in today.  Stop by tomorrow for Friday's Where's Yumi & Fumi, who knows you may be spotlighted! 

Have a great day!!

Challenge #18 CONGRATS! Reminder

Happy Sunday!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Y&FH Hang Loose release day (one day late!)

*****************************

Eva and I have gotten together to remind everyone about the CONGRATS! challenge that is in progress here at Y&FH.

Eva's card using Winter Yumi

Oh my, don't you just love this card!  If the rainbow colored dots don't make you happy, then Yumi's blue eyes and snazzy blue cap definately will!  If you head over to Eva's blog  you can get all of the details on this happy card. 

Denice's card using Summer Chuckles and Tiki Surf Set

  

I couldn't resist using the sentiments from the newly released Tiki Surf Set to create a card for someone who just bought a new car. I also think this would be easy to alter for a newly licensed driver with a gas card attached instead of the deodorizer. 

Here are just a few small details about this challenge:

CHALLENGE #18 - CONGRATS!

Create a CARD using a congratulatory theme.

Challenge #18 - Time to Celebrate!

Hello!!

We hope you're all having a great weekend and getting in some time to craft.  Today we're starting a new challenge and it should be another fun and easy one. 

CHALLENGE #18 - TIME TO CELEBRATE!!
Create a CARD using a celebratory theme.
June 9 - June 21
Ends: Noon (pst)

It's time to break out the confetti, fun stamps and papers and we can't forget all those celebration sentiments.  There are lots of reasons to celebrate, the birth of a baby, a graduation, a milestone birthday, the beginning of summer, someone's retirement, finishing a marathon, the list goes on and on.  With so many different occasions you can celebrate you're bound to need cards for those right?  Well here's your chance to create one and while you're at it, might as well try to win a gift certificate from us.  :)

Before I share our celebratory cards I'd like to remind everyone about our rules.  They are super simple and easy to follow.  Before you decide to link up I highly suggest you click on the challenge info tab located at the top of the page, read the rules and then decide if your card qualifies or not.  Unfortuantely if it DOES NOT it will be removed from Inlinkz. 

The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate and our Top 3 will receive a 10% discount code to be used in the Yumi & Fumi online store.

Now let's get to the fun part, the time when the DT gets to share their interpretation of the theme.  First up is Rosie!!  I know she has something amazing to share with us today...

 Rosie used Chuckles w/Gecko:

I was right!!  Gorgeous job Rosie!!  I'm up next!  I hope I do something good, it's always nerve wracking following Rosie or any of the ladies on this team. lol...  Hey that's a compliment!  Seriously! :)

Leanne used Chase:

For my theme I made a groom's anniversary card to give to his wife...

All stamps are available in the Yumi & Fumi Handmade online store.  Now it's time for you to get your crafting cap on and get crafting!

A reminder that tomorrow starts our new stamp release previews.  Make sure you stop by each day during the week starting tomorrow to see what's new at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  Until then, Mahalo for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Hugs,
Rosie & Leanne
