CBD - Celebrate Women

Today I have a great post for the Crafting by Designs challenge blog.  This week's challenge is put on by team member Rene who lives in South Africa.   On the 9th of August they celebrate National Women's Day.

This day has historical value for them, but essentially it recognizes the role women played and still play in society.This week our theme is: Anything Goes with a Twist: Celebrate Women!

We have a new sponsor this week! Digistamps4Joy is giving 5 images (own choice) to the winner of the challenge!

Digistamps was wonderful enough to give the design team two different stamps to chose from.  The first on was called Corset and Frills.  I'm in the middle of creating a mini wedding album.  I thought this image would work great for the bachelorette party.  

Here's a picture of all the pieces.  There's a mini 6 pic folder that goes in the pock and the side of the picture page that goes in the side pocket.  

The second image that we were give is called Celebrate Celia.  She is such a cute girl.  I've colored her and used stickles to color the banners flags.  Well, I left her on my desk at work to dry and forgot to bring her home.  How dumb was that? 

So I started over this morning before work and colored her again.  Then put her a a card with the Bazzill Lucy Crab Shack paper collection.  I used the coordinating stickers for the banner and put it on foam squares.

C & S #30 - Prima Doll Challenge

#31

Challenge:   Prima Doll Challenge 

August 6 - 12th, 2013

Prima Doll Stamps created by Julie Nutting are all the rage right now.  There where five new stamps just release last month and a little set of angelic wings and whimsical boarders.  So this weeks challenge is to create something using the Prima Doll Stamps. 

I received my Prima Dolls in July while I was on vacation and couldn't wait to get home and play with them. 

The particular stamp I used reminded me of the local High School Choir Dresses.  So I thought to make a fold out card that would have the pretty girl on the front and then open up to show a show schedule.  I started with a manila file folder.  Then I put magnets on the back so that it will stick to the locker or refrigerator door.

 

I colored her with Copic markers then used crystal stickles to cover the top of her dress.  Then used blue stickles for her shoes. 

 

The stamp set was from A Muse Studio and the paper is from Bazzill.

Challenge:   Clean and Simple Cards

July 30 - August 5, 2013

Hello Everyone, today it's my turn to post at Cuttin' and Stampin'

This week's challenge is to create a Clean and Simple card.  Talk about a challenge.  I know my style is pretty simple, but when it's stated in the challenge I seem to really struggle. 

I took an idea from Catherine Pooler at Stamp Nation and created the following. 

 
I used the Stampin Up blossom punch and lace.  I used the Carta Bella Giddy Up paper to create the stripes in the back ground.

C & S Scrap Your Vacation

#29

Challenge:   Scrap your Vacation
July 23 - 29

Hello Everyone.  This weeks challenge at Cuttin' and Stampin' is perfect for me.  We just returned from a 9 day motorcycle trip.  We covered a lot of ground leaving Utah, passing through Wyoming, spent three days in South Dakota.  Dropped down through Nebraska in to Colorado and then back home. 

Our first day we covered 598 miles and stopped in Gillette, Wyoming for the night.  On the way to the Hotel we passed this sculpture and I just had to go back for a picture. 

Knowing I needed to prepare this post, I ran to Wal-mart to print off our pictures and the photo center was closed.  So in a panic I decided to give My Memories digital scrapbooking a try.  I have to say it was pretty easy once I got a feel for it.  There's so much more it can do, this was a  real basic thing.

I sized the page so that I can print it and it will fit into the 6" x 8" Snap Binders I purchased.

Thanks for playing along we will be announcing the winners on August 2, 2013.

Challenge:   Independence Day

July 2 - July 8, 2013

Hello Everyone, Tammy here from Life-Up, Down & Sideways.  I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July.  We were able to have a nice BBQ with the family.

I have a new Independence Day card for you.  I started with a sketch #300 from Mojo Monday.  Unfortunately, I didn't copy it close enough to enter the challenge.  

I used the Freedom Paper Pack from Bazzill.  The sentiment stamp if from Jaded Blossom.  I curled the ends of the flag just a bit.  Then I outlined the star with some Liquid Glass from CTMH.
