LiaStampz Challenge #8--Fancy Folds

Is it time for a new challenge at LiaStampz already?  WOW!  Time flies when you're having fun! :-)  Our newest challenge deals with Fancy Folds.

The image is Haley from LiaStampz, and the word "Winter" on Haley's sign is a separate sentiment from LiaStampz as well.  I colored the image with Crayola colored pencils and added a little white sparkle glitter powder to the snow on the sign and the ball on her stocking cap.  The sentiment on the outside of the card is from the "Have a Cool Yule" stamp set from Crafty Sprouts that I won as blog candy recently, and my fancy fold is tri-fold card template from Let's Party Hearty that I purchased at the Scrapbook Expo a while back.

We'd LOVE to see what kind of fancy fold card you can create!  You've got until December 14 to get your card linked up at LiaStampz.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!





NettieG's Challenge--Collaboration

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

It's time for a new challenge at NettieG's Digital Gems!  Our theme for this challenge is two on one--two digital stamps from different companies on one project.  As a design team, we were asked to use one image from NettieG's and were given a second image from Digistamps 4 Joy.

The NettieG's image I chose was EmilynMommyzClothes, and I used this sketch from Sketch File and will be entering my card there:

You've got two weeks to get your projects linked up at NettieG's!  Remember--the theme is two on one--two digital stamp images from different companies on one project.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

Lollipop Crafts Challenge #59--B is for . . .

Happy Monday!  Well, not really.  I don't really like Mondays, but ESPECIALLY the Monday after a long vacation!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday last week.

This is my next-to-last post for Lollipop Crafts.  I have thoroughly enjoyed being a guest designer for them this month!  This week's challenge is "B is for . . ."  For me, B is for BIRTHDAY!

I used this sketch for my card, and it also qualifies for one of the card challenges in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin'.

The buttons all came from my button drawer, and the ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment was a free digital image from the progressive challenge at CDAC, so I'll be uploading my card there as well.  If you enjoy working with digital images and want to pick up some free ones, check it out!  You've got until November 30 to pick up the first set of images and get a project uploaded.

What does 'B' stand for in YOUR project?  Be sure to get your project uploaded to Lollipop Crafts before December 4, and check back here on Thursday for this week's spotlight.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

Pattie's Creations Design Challenge #34--Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We enjoyed our last Thanksgiving here at Camp Pendleton by staying home, watching football, and cooking our favorite Thanksgiving foods--turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, rolls, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.  YUM!!!

It's time once again for a new challenge at Pattie's Creations!  This one should be easy for everyone--CHRISTMAS!!  Here's my card:

When I saw this image of Pattieboop and Allie Waiting for Santa in the Pattie's Creations Digital Images store, I knew I HAD to use it for this card!  I used this sketch from Sketch n Stash, so I'll be entering my card over there:

Everything I used on my card came from my stash--patterned paper, ribbon, and rhinestones.  I also used gold Stickles for some accents on my patterned paper and glitter powder on the Santa hats and snow on the windowsill to add some shimmer. 

Be sure to hop over to Pattie's Creations Design Challenge and get your Christmas project linked up by December 16.  Yep!  You've got THREE weeks to complete this challenge!  So, come on!  What are you waiting for?!?  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

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

It's time for the last challenge of 2011 at My Partner in Crafting Crime!  We're taking the month of December off so we can all get ready for the holidays, but we've got one last Christmas challenge for you--Christmas tags!  Here's what I came up with for this week's challenge:



I used some patterned paper and an image from Graphic 45's Christmas Past collection and added a piece of green cardstock in between.  The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some gold Stickles to give the tag a little Christmas bling.

We can't WAIT to see your Christmas tags!  Be sure to get them linked up to My Partner in Crafting Crime's blog before December 4.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

Lollipop Crafts Challenge #58--ANYTHING GOES!!

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you're all planning some quality time with your families this week for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Before you get to that, check out the newest challenge at Lollipop Crafts!  This week, ANYTHING GOES, so I created this layout:

All of the patterned papers are from Graphic 45's Christmas Past collection, and the green ribbon is from Bo Bunny.  I also completed this layout as part of the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin's 24-Hour Challenge.

I know everyone must be working on Thanksgiving or Christmas projects right now, so be sure to hop over to Lollipop Crafts and get your linked up!  We can't WAIT to see your creations!  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

Paper Cutz Challenge #117--Let's Talk Turkey!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!  Not only is it Friday, but I am officially on Thanksgiving break!  OH, YEAH!!!  Teachers need Thanksgiving break as much as the students do! :-)

It's time for a new challenge at the Paper Cutz Challenge!  Let's Talk Turkey, people!!! LOL!  Yep!  Our challenge for the next two weeks is all about turkeys.  We want to see turkeys featured on your projects.

I tried to recreate a card I found in one of my card magazines from my stash.  The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny's Forever Fall 6x6 pad, and the cardstock was in my stash.  I received the twine in a big bundle in some blog candy I won a while back, and the turkey and sentiment were both in my stash.  I think I picked them up at Michael's not too long ago.

I can't WAIT to see what you've all got in store for this challenge!  I'm also going to be entering mine at The Paper Variety.  Remember--you've got two weeks to get your project completed and linked up at the Paper Cutz Challenge.  Good luck, happy scrapping, and Happy Thanksgiving!
