Challenge No. 5 at the House of Gilli

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I did and it was very creative.

I, Aletha (some people call me AJ), am the hostess for the House of Gill’s FIFTH challenge. I challenge you to use STRIPES AND BLING. This should be an easy one.

Here at the House of Gilli, we thrilled to have such a great response to our new blog. I just wanted to say how much we appreciate all of the entries. This has been and will continue being so much fun!

I have had my Basic Grey designer paper picked out for over a month. When it caught my eye I knew it was for Boho Gilli from StampingScrapping. It screamed “Flower Power” or maybe “Girl Power.” Anyway, I thought, “You go girl!” I love bright colors!

I have also entered Boho Gilli in these challenges:

Craft Your Days Away – Spots and Stripes

Card Makin’ Mamas – Embellish It

The Outlawz Friday Copic/Promarker Challenge – Mix mediums on image

Papertake Weekly – Anything Goes, but with something new (Boho Gilli rubber stamp)

By the Cute and Girly – Anything cute and girly

If you like, check out my blog, AJ’s Designs, for all the other details.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us!

And, if you use a Gilli in your little piece of art, be sure and post it at the House of Gilli Yahoo group and the Gilli Gallery on Flickr.

Have a great week!

Hola! from Senorita Gilli

Happy Wednesday everyone! Aletha here, and it’s my turn to share my project with you all for our Ribbons and Pearls challenge at the House of Gilli. Come join us. You have until April 10 at 10:00 p.m. to enter.

I have chosen Senorita Gilli for my little piece of art. She was perfect to color with my Copics. And then I had a lot of fun adding all the layers. I have used the Elegant Flourishes Sizzix die for extra flourish around the flowers and in the upper right hand corner. The other dies that I have used are Spellbinder’s in Scalloped Circles, Parisian Motifs, and Fleur De Lis Rectangles. And all of these (including Gilli) can be purchased from StampingScrapping. The most wonderful online merchant you will ever meet!

And, after you have entered your creation above, and if you used a Gilli, don’t forget to join and post to our groups on Yahoo (House of Gilli) and our photo gallery on Flicker (Gilli Gallery).

I hope you join us in this wonderful challenge! Thanks for stopping by!
