Welcome Challenge *Winners*

[pawprints]

Really wanting to do this one but I'm stuck! I can't think of things for all the letters. Any ideas?? I need W, E for sure, and maybe a O haha.

You could use something White, and/or something Orange... A little Envelope for E...

Here is mine:



Journaling: Rob and I feel in love with this sweet little girl who was left hanging out at the Middle School. Nobody claimed her and without a doubt, we welcomed her into our home. Being a puppy, she needed everything - puppy shots, a new dish, her own bed. She quickly settled with the other four and of course, got SPOILED! She learns soemthing new everyday and she keeps everyone on their toes.

W = washi tape
E = "eat" word art on the pp
L = leash sticker
C = cardstock
O = orange button
M = "Meet" in the title
E = embroidery thread

This is so cute Brandy!! I LOVE the background paper and those pics of Penny are adorable! The doggie washi tape is perfect! Thanks for doing my NSD challenge!

[pawprints]

W-wood veneer/washi-tape
E-edge punch
L-layers
C-Carta bella pp
O-October Afternoon tidbits
M-my mind's eye journal tag
E-echo park chipboard button

This is about meeting my SIL for the first time. She officially won't be my SIL until next Saturday. They live in a different state at this time and so I've only met her once. The speech bubbles are for talking and getting to know her. The words are reflective too: smile, hello, and so on. The red-head is my other SIL.

Love the colors and all the layering and word art bubbles! Such a great pic and love how you did the journaling! Thanks for doing my NSD challenge!

Here is mine about the adoption of my kitty:



W- washi tape, also wood veneer
E - exclamation mark (in title)
L - layers
C - cat, also charm
O - orange (the color)
M - mouse die cut
E - edge that's punched

Love all the layers of paper strips and how the colors look against the teal background! Love the title on an angle in the large circle, and the edge punched paper strip at the bottom! Thanks for doing my NSD challenge!

[pawprints]

Here is mine:

W = wood embellishment
E = envelope
L= lace
C= collar
O= odd number of clothespins and orange colors
M= MME paper strips from old collection wild asparagus
E= echo park woof collection brown bone paper strip

OMG look at little baby Memphis!!! Love the clothesline idea for the photos and how tags and ribbons and the journaling card are also clipped to the line with little tiny clothespins! Thanks for doing my NSD challenge!

W - wood butterflies

Love all the layering Sher and the twine wrapped around the photos is a really nice touch! Love the colors and all the word art and little embellies! Thanks for doing my NSD challenge!

I am going to PM Kristin about the gallery problem.

This is a photo of Gurkha pipers welcoming us to dinner at a regimental ball in England.

W = Webster's Pages mini book page
E = Embossing (I heat embossed one of the burgundy strips with a harlequin pattern)
L = Lili Bee Design paper and letters
C = copper brads; cardstock
O = October Afternoon Sprinklers (Saddles and Cactus)
M = My Mind's Eye stickers
E - Epoxy brands from My Mind's Eye; edge punch

Barb, it won't let me post to any - not even my own!! I have no idea what's going on - I think all of us hostesses are just going to have to check both galleries for the submissions so we don't miss any.
Even if they fix it now - it'll be too late for all the girls to get it moved to the contest gallery - that's my thinking anyway.

That's what I've just been doing, checking to see if everyone that posted to my thread is in the gallery section for my challenge. Many are not. I am about to send Kristin a PM.

I found that i have to first submit the image to MY gallery, then edit and go back and add it to a challenge gallery. It's been working that way for me.

[blfonty]

I must say - these are all wonderful layouts and very creative coming up with items to match WELCOME. I ran out of time to finish this one, but enjoyed seeing all of the other Cherries projects. Congrats to all of you!
