Circles galore

   Happy Wednesday!  Wednesdays here at Scrap-Creations means Stampotique Designers Challenge.  This week I am lucky enough to the the challenge host, and I am challenging you to get creative and show us what you can create with circles in your project!  For this journal page, I used acrylic paints. and black and white marker. I used a computer generated sentiment, and I used Unicorn Magda Polakow, as well as Agatha Moon, also by Magda Polakow. I also used the wings from the Medium Bee to put on Agatha.
  If you would like to join us in this weeks challenge, join us at Stampotique Designers challenge.

Scribbles......

   Happy Thursday!! I am happy to say that I have been super busy crafting lately.  I finished my BSN two weeks ago and I have been crafting ever since...LOL...
   Today I want to share a journal page I created for this weeks Stampotique Designers Challenge.  This weeks hostess is Arwen, ad here is way Arwen has to say: "I want to see scribbles in your projects this week, that can be by hand or by stamp, just add some scribbles".  Love, Love, Love this challenge...I always start a journal page the same way.  I first look at the challenge and then pick my stamps and then I just start messing around.  I never know how it's going to end up, which is exactly what happened with this page.  I knew I wanted to make my own background, so I used Cracks by France papillon, and just stamped the entire background so it looked as if it was designer paper.  I then hand drew circles, and then colored them in with copics.  I used Kate Crane's Ruff stamp for my focus point, and for my scribbles, I used my white gel pen and scribbled some words in the circles.  
    Wanna play????  Head on over to Stampotique and check out what the rest of the DT came up with for this weeks challenge....

Happy Mother's Day

   Happy Wednesday!!! Today I have a card to share with you for this weeks Stampotique Originals Designers Challenge.  This weeks Hostess is Claudine, and here is what Claudine had to say " Let's make something with our Moms in mind, show Mom how much she means to you this week.".  I decided to go with a Mother's Day Card, and I created the flower wreath using Carol's Flower, small.  I really like how this looks.  This is such a great challenge, I hope you will join us this week at SO design blog.

My brother and parents LOVE camping (I am more of a hotel kinda girl), and they are preparing for camping season, and I was dying to use my new camper stamp by Roc Nicholas, as well as this fantastic Be Happy stamp from Magda Polakow.  I also used the tiny bee and the daisy, daisy stamp.  So...Hello Spring....I am happy to welcome you!  SO, what spring project will you be sharing with us for this months challenge?

Spring Has Sprung!

   Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a great week this far!  Today I am sharing a card I made for this weeks Stampotique Designers Challenge.   This weeks hostess is Arwen, and here is what she has to say about this weeks challenge, " Create a project with only nature items in it. No humans , no animals."   Since it's April, I thought I would go with a Spring theme (even know it's been snowing for the past 3 days), and picking my image, I knew I wanted to use one of Terri Richardson's images.  She has the perfect stamps for this weeks challenge.   I went with Dragonfly Dreams for this weeks nature theme.  I LOVE butterfly's, and long for the days that it is warm enough to spot them in my garden.  Ahhh spring....where are you???
   So, what do you say, wanna play with us in this weeks Designers challenge?  Hope on over here an join us for some fun and an opportunity to win free product. 

Spring Has Sprung

   Happy Wednesday!  I hope you had a fantastic weekend.  My family and I went to Lake Placid NY for my sons hockey tournament and we had a FANTASTIC time, and to top it off, they took the silver medal.  It was such a great time, and we created memories of a lifetime.
   Today, I am sharing a card I made for this weeks Stampotique Originals Designers Challenge. This weeks Hostess is Nellie, and here is what she had to say: " So close to Easter I would love to see you use birds and stuff related to birds such as feathers, eggs, nests etc. in your artwork".  I decided to use Birdie Shoes by Kira Nicholas, to create my card for this weeks challenge.  Hopefully I captured some spring spirit.  
   Have a great week, and join us for a chance to win free product.

It's Hip to Be Square!

   Happy Wednesday!  It has been some time since I have posted last.  Life has been beyond crazy, but I am back and that is all that matters.
   At Scrap-Creations, Wednesdays = Stampotique Originals Designers Challenge.  This weeks hostess is Corrie and here is what Corrie says about this challenge:
 
"I am very fond of circles in my work, so I want to get outside my comfort zone and use squares for a change and I would like you to join me. Have Fun!!"

   For this challenge, I used my squares as a sitting post for skunk w/ word on side.  This is a super fun challenge and I hope you will join us for a chance to win $30.00 worth of free stamps. 

  Also, Stampotique has a new release coming out in March and we are showing sneak peaks on the Stampotique Designers Facebook page.  Hop on over and check them out!

Love is in The Air!

    Happy Wednesday! I hope you having a wonderful week this far. Do you know what Sunday is??? Valentines Day and I am a sucker for the seasonal items.  I love to walk in Target (my fav) and check out the season section.  I can't help but love all the red and pink right now! 
   This weeks Stampotique Originals Designer Challenge hostess is  Coby vanWilligenburg and her challenge is: "Love Is In The Air" here is what Coby says about this challenge:

"Love is so sweet and so tender...love is more than a boy than a boy and a girl.....love are my children, my grandchildren and animals... show in your creation this week, Love"

There you have it, it's all about Love this week.

 

Of course, I LOVE this challenge.  I made a simple card today, using Waving Spotted Monster by Kira Nichols.  I know you can't really see from the pic, but there is depth between the heart and the base.  This was a super fun challenge and I sure do hope you will join us in this weeks a challenge.  Not only is it fun, but there is also a chance for $30.00 in free product!.  Have a great week....

It Takes Two!

   Happy Wednesday!  Here at Scrap-Creations Wednesdays = Stampotique Designers challenge and this weeks challenge is "double the fun."  This weeks Hostess is Valerie and here is what Valerie has to say about this weeks challenge:
 "Nope, that's not a typo! This week we are celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Stampotique monthly swap. This week, let's feature two's. You can interpret this any way you want. Duos, mirrors, the number two, duplicates - whatever comes to mind."

   One of my favorite things about joining challenges, is coming up with the creative idea.  When preparing for this weeks challenge, I was sifting through my stamps deciding what I would use, when I spotted the "Skunk with Word on the side" stamp by Kira Nichols.  I knew I wanted to use a play on words for this challenge, note the "too" on my card, and I LOVE the stamp, so i went with it, and this is what I came up with for this weeks challenge.  
    Thank you Valerie for a super fun challenge, and I sure do hope you will join us for this weeks challenge over at Stampotique Originals for some super fun!  Have a great day and thank you for stopping by. 

A Little Wizard of OZ for you!

                    Here is my project for this weeks Stampotique Originals Designers CHallenge. 
This week our hostess is Sue Davies and she is giving us a fun challenge "Use only Hues of Reds and Pinks"

Here is what Sue says about this challenge:"With Valentine's Day around the corner we have all seen hues of reds and pinks, I challenge you to create a Stampotique Valentine's Day creation inspired by reds and pinks"
   I love red and pinks, so this was a super fun challenge for me.   Pink and reds remind me of love, and I just adore this tin man stamp by Janet Klein and thought it would work wonderful in my project this week.   I also used the neverending wall by Arwen McCullen as my yellow brick road. My font was computer generated.  I hope you enjoyed my project and will join us over at the challenge group for a chance to win $30.00 worth of FREE product! Have a wonderful day!
