Scraptastic Mondays!

Good morning everyone and welcome to another Scraptastic Monday!

Today's challenge is "Winter Wonderland." Create a card or project with a snowman or snow flake and have a winter wonderland theme. I want to remind everyone that although the DT is using Cindy's adorable digis, you do not have to. We want this challenge to be open to everyone so you may use your Cricut or other digis to enter the challenge as long as you follow the challenge theme.

For my card I used Cindy's "Friendly Snowman" image. (You can find it HERE.) I colored him with my Bic markers and added Stickles. For the background paper I used my Martha Stewart Punch and layered it to give it a great texture. Last but not least the sentiment is from Stephanie at Whimsical Designs new stamp set called "Snow Much Fun". (You will find them HERE.)

To see what the other wonderful DT members have come up with please go visit the Scraptastic Mondays blog.

Frist prize for this weeks challenge is:

Stephanie has donated one of her new Release "Snow Much Fun" Stamp set . Thank you so mush Stephanie for this GREAT prize.!!

Second prize for this weeks challenge is:
One random winner will receive 3 digi's of your choice.

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday.

Today's challenge is "Layer It"

Make a card or project with a winter or Christmas theme and it must have layers.

For my card today I colored Cindy's adorable digi stamp, "Sweet Hot Coco". You can purchase it HERE. I paper pieced the polka dot paper on to the cup and added glossy accents to give it the feeling of a real mug. The holly berries were also done twice and popped on foam tape. For the background paper I punched out strips from Martha Stewart's "Double Loop Weave" punch and layered them on red cardstock. To finish it off I used Stickles and my gel pen.

To see what the other wonderful DT ladies have created for this challenge please swing by the Whimsical Designs Blog.

Our sponsor for this week is our fabulous and talented design sister Nanne. Nanne has donated a variety of Webster's Pages Scrapbooking Supplies. Thank you Nanne!!

Whimsical Wednesday Challenge

Welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday!

Today's challenge is " Happy Turkey Day"

For this challenge you will need to create a card or any kind of project with a Thanksgiving theme.

This year for Thanksgiving I am making activity bags for my kids so they will have something to do while the grown ups are busy. (you can see the goody bag Here.) So today I made coloring books for them. The turkey was cut from the Cricut "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge.

The back ground papers are all scraps and are embossed with Cuttlebug's "Houndstooth" folder.

(I kept these very simple since they are for little kids.)

Here is the inside.

All of the coloring pages are Cindy's Digital Stamps. You will find them HERE.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please to to Whimsical Designs to see what the our wonderful ladies have come up with for this weeks challenge. :)

Scraptastic Mondays

Welcome to our very first challenge at Scraptastic Monday's.

The challenge today is to make a

Thanksgiving themed bag or box and it must include a tag, stitching, and button.

We would love for you to use one of Cindy's digis but if you don't have any yet that is fine to. You are also welcome to use your Cricut or another digi. We want everyone to be able to play along with us. :)

This year for Thanksgiving I think I am going to make little activity bags for my kids so they will have something fun to do while the the grown ups are busy cooking.

Here is the one I made for my oldest.

For my project I cut my bag and tag from the Cricut "Plantin Schoolbook" cartridge. The Orange cardstock and polka dot ribbon are "Dusty Durango" from Stampin' Up. My kraft cardstock was embossed with Cuttlebugs "Polka dot" folder and my fabulous image is from Cindy's store HERE and is called "Happy Thanksgiving" To finish my project off I wrote in my son's name and added faux stitching with my gel pens. To see what the other fabulous DT members have created please go to Scraptasic Mondays.

Can't wait to see what you create for the challenge!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. :)

~ Scraptastic Designs Blog Hop ~

Welcome to the Scraptastic Designs blog hop!!

This hop is to kick off our "SCRAPTASTIC MONDAYS" challenge. Starting November 7th at 10:00am and we will have a new challenge every week.

If you came are here from Karen's blog then you are in the right place but if you just happened to be stopping by you will want to start at the beginning which is Cindy's blog.

For my project today I chose to use the image "Sweet Gingerbread Tags". This actually comes with 2 images a girl & a boy. For my project I chose to use only the boy.

I printed the stamps out on Kraft cardstock and then colored them in with my bic markers. (I was inspired to did this by DCWV's new kraft paper stacks.) I used Viva Decors pearl pen in Cream to color the frosting. It gives it such a great effect! I then added Twine, buttons, and stitching to finish off my card

Here is a close up of this wonderfully cute and fun Digi.

Happy Halloween!

Today’s card is very simple but I love it!

The orange back ground paper was made using Cindy’s pumpkin digi stamp called "Pumpkin Cutie". I high lighted them by adding Stickles in Lime Green, Cinnamon, and Fruit punch to the leaves, stem, and cheeks. The sentiment stamp is from Peachy Keen and the border stamp is from Michael’s. I heat embossed both with white.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day.
