TTT Challenge & Announcement

Welcome back everyone!  

Before I tell you about today's Terrifically Thrilling Thursday Challenge, I'd like to share a few changes we are making here at Shelly's Images effective IMMEDIATELY!  

First and Foremost, we are switching our challenge time frame to TWICE A MONTH ...

Our challenges will now be offered on the 

1st and 3rd Thursday 

of each month.

In our sidebar you can still see our upcoming challenge themes/dates and NOW you can also see the dates for the upcoming Tutorial/Technique Tuesday postings.

Now onto today's challenge

 (which will run through July 18th).

"WHAT the TEXT"

(Use text [sentiment] on your card/project.)

and today's FEATURED IMAGE is "DAISY 1"

I'm thrilled to tell you I have a 

SPECIAL GUEST DESIGNER today!  

Please meet Sue (who actually goes by SASSY)  

Sassy's Secrets

Sassy is a '50 Something' lady from Midlands, United Kingdom and her style is fabulous.

Be sure to pop over to Sassy's blog, check out her beautiful work and leave her some love.  She will be offering a GIFT VOUCHER for Shelly's Images Store to one lucky commenter.

Here's a few words from Sassy:

  I started making cards 10 years ago ... started with a shoe box of bits and ended up with a room full.  I love doing commissions as it gives me a challenge and love  to see people happy with what I made  for them.  I have been described as chocolate boxey and ultra feminine but my style is different with my vintage.  I think I'm just a pure romantic at heart and have always loved art from an early age.

 Now let's see what Sassy and the Design Team have created to inspire you . . .

SASSY

has created this beautiful, vintage card of encouragement,

 with a sweet matching tag.

SAMMI

 has created a soothing sympathy card that would uplift anyone's spirits.

STEPHANIE

created this beautiful floral Thank You with a touch of sparkle that is sure to bring a smile!

AMANDA

has created a card with such beautiful vintage flair it certainly
makes you want to celebrate days-gone-by!

JEN

What a fabulous idea for decorating the lid of a gift box!

Very creative!

MIN

created this "Happy Day" card with a bit of Bling - who wouldn't have a happy day receiving this?

DARLENE

 has overlaid Shelly's 'Thinking of You'  image (coming to the store soon!) on the beautiful 'Daisy1' image (in Word) to created this happy card.

and also created a 4"x6" 'TAG card'

 with matching inside sentiment.

We hope you'll come join in our WHAT THE TEXT challenge fun this week.
