Borders & Frames at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Borders & Frames at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Yup, that's right, Borders & Frames is what we wanna see. We are asking you to create a card that includes at least one border and/or frame on it, and of course a stamp!

You will have from now until midnight (EST) November 5^h, 2011 to complete this challenge and post a DIRECT LINK to your submission into our InLinkz in order to be entered into the drawing for this week's fabulous prize donated by:

Bunny Zoe's Crafts

This was my first attempt at a shadow box and all in all, it went fairly well. I colored "Apple Basket" by Daisy Doodles with my Copics then cut out a circle in the middle using my Circle Patterns from Creative Memories. To frame the circle I used Lacey Circle Spellbinder Nestabilities.

For some finishing touches I added some silk flowers, button and bakers twine. The sentiment was a freebie from Raindrop Echo Designs.

To get your crafty mojo going, head on over to Stamptacular to check out the FAB creations by our Design Team.

Aud Sentiments - Make us Laugh Challenge

It's challenge time over at Aud Sentiments and we're asking you to make Make Us Laugh! This challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps. Jodie is giving the winner 7 digis of their choice, WOW!

For this challenge, I wanted to use Gus Golf. What's golfing without the golf green!? I made an Easel card and used a grass tile that I found at the local dollar store as the background.

I also found some golf tees at the dollar store and colored them up with my Copics. Added some ribbon and of course glossy accents and there you have it.

Now it's your turn. Make sure you check out the amazing projects our Design Team has created for your inspiration. Happy Crafting!

This here little lady is "Lady Stinker" by our Crazy Marlooney. I was sitting, not unlike Lady Stinker here, trying to figure out what kinda sentiment I was gonna use. Then I remembered my collection of sentiments by Marlooney that she kindly offered as a freebie on her blog (although I did add the star).

PERFECTO!

I used an old sketch from Sketch Saturday but it was missing something. So, I sat down again (great thinking spot it is) and reached for some TP, AHHA, perfect embellishment right at my fingertips!

Now head on over to Lynn's FAB creation! Happy Crafting!

MELJEN’S DESIGNS

PRIZE: Winner’s Choice of 7 Digis!

AND

THE CHARM BARN

PRIZE: $10 Gift Certificate

This week I tried a pop-up card, I have to say it was fun to create.

I colored Bat House by Limited Runs with my Copics and added some sparkles to the edges of the cupcake and the bat's eyelids and of course, glossy accents to the little ghosty. I used a purple ribbon and added a Boo charm from the Charm Barn as my sentiment.

Now for the inside ... the spiders are actually glow in the dark and I pierced the butt to push a needle and thread through so I could suspend the spiders to the top of the pop up. Now it's your turn! Make sure you head over to see the very creative projects from the Stamptacular Design Team then get to work on your creations!

Mirror, Mirror

Over at Squigglefly, their challenge is "Face your Fears". Yeah, I'm afraid of spiders, mice, things that go bump in the night but truthfully, I fear sagging, wrinkles and old age more!
Not long ago, I was in a quaint little store and came across a sign that said "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, what the heck happened?". Of course, I bought it right away!

I thought this image "Oh no she didn't" by Chesney Young worked perfectly with the sentiment. The flower embellie is actually a mirror, couldn't pass up attaching it to the card!

For Tuesday Trio's challenge, I followed their sketch (below) and used the following:

• Something Old - as in "had it for along time" - The papers I used (stretching, I know)
• Something New - The mirror
• Something Borrowed - The Sentiment (am I stretching that one?!)
• Something Blue - Eyes

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Squigglefly "Face your Fears"

Riley and Co. "Orange and Black"

Tuesday Trio "Sketch / Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue"
