A New Inky Impressions Challenge is Taking SHAPE!

For those of you that have read my blog over the past couple of years, you know that my shape has changed!  After becoming fully commited to Isagenix, and a strict exercise regimen that includes Zumba, personal training, boot camp and running, I went from 148 to 129 pounds and I feel great!

All of that to say, what a perfect time for today's Inky Impressions Challenge!  It's all about SHAPE!  Nicole challenged us to make a card using anything but a square!  I so loved this challenge. . .making something unique is one of my favorite rows to hoe!

I decided to go with this option. . .

This skinny rectangle card measures 3 inches wide and 6 inches long and is made from a scrap of 12x12 paper.  This color combo of orange, blue and olive is so "out of the box" for winter, don't you think?  Not that we Okies have seen much of that season as of yet - it was 72 here yesterday and much to my chagrin, I might add - so I thought maybe if I inked up Ice Skating Rachel, Mother Nature would take a hint!

While I usually color the Inky girls to match my DD's hair and eyes, this one was colored to match me! Highlighted hair, brown eyes and a bright orange coat!  Yes, I love my North Face Summit Series in electric orange* and I must admit, I'm a bit jealous of the fur trim on Rachel's. . .

Here's a close up. . .

Don't you just love that sweet mitten charm?

And, here's a peek at the inside sentiment. . .

Okay - enough of my chatter!  Time to head over and see what the other Inkettes have created!  You can find all the challenge details HERE.  And remember, there's a $10 Inky Impressions Gift Certificate up for grabs, so play along with us, won't you?

See you tomorrow when it's my day to be Inky Inspirational!

Until then, say a prayer that I'll get to wear my mittens in the snow real soon. . .

*Sorry girls, but the electric orange is no longer available.  However, I highly recommend the fusion pink version!  It looks like cotton candy on steroids!
