Take One Home!

Happy Tuesday! Time for another fun challenge at SCACD Friends With Heart Challange!!! This week the challenge is anything goes with a SCACD stamp (i.e., any stamp sold by SCACD... and there are MANY to chose from!). The prize up for grabs this month is The Natural Beauty Collection by Carmen Medlin for SCACD!!! Every time you play in our challenge in June your name goes into the hat to win. How cool is that?

The latest addition to my SCACD collection is the Hearts & Hugs Summer Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD. Love love love these sweet images! The first one I've inked up is A Puppy is Love. The patterned paper is Fly A Kite from the Lime Twist collection by My Mind's Eye, which I paired with border stickers and a button from the Emma's Shoppe collection by Crate Paper.

I hope you'll join us this week at SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge for a chance to win The Natural Beauty Collection. Be sure to visit my fellow SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge design team members to see what they have created to inspire you!

Happy Tuesday! Time for another fun challenge at SCACD Friends With Heart Challange!!! This week the challenge is Summer Fun... anything that means summer to you! The prize up for grabs this month is The Natural Beauty Collection by Carmen Medlin for SCACD!!! Every time you play in our challenge in June your name goes into the hat to win. So what are you waiting for? ;)

I paired Hot Stuff from the Retro Crew Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD with patterned paper from the Seashore collection by October Afternoon to create a summer beach scene. The greeting is by SRM. Summer means the beach to me! Yay!

I hope you'll come along and play with us this week at SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge for a chance to win The Natural Beauty Collection. Be sure to visit my fellow SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge design team members to see what they have created with summer fun in mind.

It's Summertime!

Well, almost! (*grin*) Although, quite frankly, since I'm a fall/winter girl, I'm not that excited about hot weather. I think I'm living in the wrong climate. ;)

Happy Tuesday! We have a sketch challenge for you today at SCACD Friends With Heart Challange!!! The prize up for grabs this month is The Natural Beauty Collection by Carmen Medlin for SCACD!!! Wow, what a lucky duck she/he will be who wins that set will be! Every time you play in our challenge in June your name goes into the hat to win. So what are you waiting for? ;)

I flipped the sketch on its side for my card featuring Just Chill'n from the Retro Crew Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD. I've paired her with patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Candy Shoppe collection by Echo Park. The greeting is by SRM.

I happen to have an extra Just Chill'n stamp, so I thought I'd run a little blog candy opp this week. If you play in the challenge and then come back here and leave a link to your card, you'll be entered for a chance to win!

I hope you'll come along and play with us this week at SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge for a chance to win The Natural Beauty Collection (and Just Chill'n).

SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge!

Happy Tuesday! Today begins another super fun challenge at the SCACD Friends With Heart Challange blog!!! Our challenge this week is to use star(s) in your card/project. This is your last chance to play this month for a chance to win the full set of Little Peekers by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD!!

I know my card is missing, and I apologize for that. Due to too many commitments this week, and a terrible lack of mojo, I'm not able to play. But I encourage you to zip on into your craft room, pull out those much-loved SCACD stamps and some stars (a star punch or something with stars on it) and create something fabulous!

You're sure to find lots of inspiration when you visit my fellow SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge design team members:

Don't You Just Love to Color?!

I know I do... love to color, that is. (*grin*)

Happy Tuesday! Come join us for another fun challenge at SCACD Friends With Heart Challange!!! Our challenge this week is anything goes with a SCACD stamp. The prize up for grabs this month is the full set of Little Peekers by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD!!! Every time you play in our challenge in May your name goes into the hat to win. How awesome is that?

I LOVE all my SCACD stamps, especially Elisabeth Bell images. My card features Little Suzanne, who I'm pretty sure is named after the fabulous Suzanne Dean... colorist extraordinaire. In fact, it's Suzanne's on-line Copic classes (Color Me Creative) that have helped me tremendously in my coloring. I've paired her with patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Candy Shoppe collection by My Mind's Eye. 

I hope you'll come along and play with us this week at SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge for a chance to win a full sheet of Little Peekers! Be sure to visit my fellow SCACD Friends With Heart Challenge design team members to see what they have created to inspire and delight you:

I {heart} you!

Happy Tuesday! Time for our second challenge at the brand new SCACD Friends With Heart Challange!!! Our challenge this week is to include a heart somewhere in your card/project featuring any stamp(s) available for sale in the SCACD store.

Naturally I reached for this adorable image called Blowing Kisses by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD since she's blowing heart kisses. Cute!!!

I was in need of some mojo juice, so I followed Sketch 110 at Card Patterns designed by my friend Nina Brackett.  Plus, I went out on a limb and tried Kathy's Color Throwdown at Lily Pad Cards. I find color challenges to be... well... challenging! lol I think I got all the colors in there... you'll just have to trust me that my hearts are an orangish red. (*grin*)
