FLOWERS AND LACE!

A Puzzle Challenge!!!

This week at The Town Scrapper we have a special challenge for you. It's a 'PUZZLE CHALLENGE'. With April 2nd being 'Autism Awareness' day we thought we'd tie that into this week's challenge and showcase the wonderful stamp that was exclusively created by Victoria Case for TTS!
You'll want to play along this week as a few of the DT members will be donating $1 for every DT showcase card, AS WELL as $1 for every participant that enters the Puzzle Challenge. All the money raised will be donated to the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Amazing ladies!

Make sure you check out all the cards that were submitted by the Scrapettes, they are just amazing and will definately inspire you this week (in more ways than one)!

Have a great weekend!

Another Monday Showcase...yay

This is my second post for today,

to see the current Pink Elephant Challenge click HERE!

Monday's always start off fun for me! Today I'm also posting a card for the Monday Showcase at The Town Scrapper.

I chose Birthday Sophie cause I love a party and she's all dressed up and ready to go! I coloured her with my copics. I decided not to use any dp (I can't beleive it myself) but nothing really was making me happy and since the image is nice and big with lots of elements, I wanted it to be the main attraction! I added some diamond stickles to the presents, her hair bows and the yellow balloon. I also added some crystal lacquer to the pink balloon and her shoes making them pink 'patent leather'. I used some of my Stampin Up polka dot ribbon and button to finish it off!

Check out The Town Scrapper blog to see what the other Scrapettes have to show you this week. We will be showcasing the exclusive new Victoria Case stamps all month so keep your peeled for more fun!

A Friday Challenge!!!

TGIF!!! I think I say that every friday....but its the truth! Today i'm posting for the Friday Challenge over at The Town Scrapper blog, this week's theme is, can you guess?....EASTER!!!

This cute image is one of the new VICTORIA CASE STAMPS created EXCLUSIVELY for THE TOWN SCRAPPER! This one is just perfect for an Easter card!

I coloured most of the image with copics and paper pieced the chick's outfit and the bunny's feet, tummy and ears. I add some flower soft for the grass and scattered some round stickers as 'eggs' in hiding - awaiting to be found! I also added some frosted lace stickles to the egg, leaves and carrot! I used my new Martha Stewart flower border punch, it also punches out the little flowers (makes for perfect embellishments). I added more of the round stickers to the border and a yellow ribbon with a pink button with a bow to finish it all off!

Be sure to head over to The Town Scrapper Blog, check out what the fabulous DT have for you today and play this week for your chance to win a great little prize!

Have a great Weekend!

New challenge over at The Town Scrapper...& a sneek peek

Its friday! That means a new challenge is starting up over at The Town Scrapper! This week's theme is Ribbons & Rub-ons!

The image I've used this week is a little sneek peek of some new Victoria Case stamps The Town Scrapper will soon be releasing...they are simply adorable!

I used my copic markers to colour and added lots of stickles to the flowers, butterfly, watering can etc...I added a big organza bow (made with my bow-easy of course) and the rub-on is a cute lil sentiment from Prima (My mommy and me collection).

Be sure to hop over to the blog and check out what the fabulous Scrapettes have created, and link up your card for your chance to win a great little prize.

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

3 Buttons Challenge over at The Town Scrapper!

Good Friday morning everyone! You ready for the weekend? I am, woo hoo!

Today over at The Town Scrapper is the start of another fun challenge. This weeks challenge is called 3 Buttons Challenge! Thats it, plain and simple, just incorporate 3 buttons (no more, no less) into your card creation. Here's my sample:I used the brand new Victoria Case stamp Evan which is now being sold exclusively at the Town Scrapper! There's more adorable stamps being released so stay tuned for some sneek peeks in the near future!

I personally love these stamps because the little Evan boy reminds me of my son. He is much older now, these pictures were taken a few years ago....sigh! Where does the time go?

I better move on before I abandon this post to run and grab my son's scrapbooks for a trip down memory lane....(you all know what I'll be doing this afternoon...lol)


I stamped Evan onto Bella's Bestest Paper (my fav) and coloured him in using my copics!

I always struggle with masculine cards, so the button theme worked out well! What a great Father's Day card this stamp makes! This card is pretty simple, all the paper, buttons etc...was from my stash drawer (that I'm always trying to whittle down).

We would love to see your 3 button creations, be sure to swing by The Town Scrapper and link up your card for your chance to win a great little prize!



Another Note:

Phebe at The Town Scrapper is hosting a super Fundraising Event on March 27th, 2010 in Petrolia Ontario. This cardmaking event will run from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. She has planned three separate demos with three of her brand new Victoria Case images! The Demos will include watercoloring by Phebe, and copic demonstrations by Melanie and myself. I can't wait to see these ladies in action, their techniques and colouring are amazing! As I'm NOT copic certified I will just be sharing how I colour with my copics, and what works best for me. I am looking forward to having lots of fun, meeting new people and making some great cards! If you are interested, please contact Phebe as she only has a few spots left! Looking forward to seeing you there!


Well thats it for today's post, have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

Exclusive New Stamps at The Town Scrapper!

Some big exciting news today for The Town Scrapper! Phebe has a BRAND NEW EXCLUSIVE STAMP LINE featuring illustrations from the talented Victoria Case!

Victoria Case has been illustrating for over 25 years and The Town Scrapper is so happy and excited to be able to bring her gorgeous designs to you on rubber!

The design team have been lucky enough to have a chance to play with these sweet stamps, that are just perfect for just about anything!!!

The new release includes 6 stamps! 3 girl images and 3 boy images all with matching sentiments!

Today, The Town Scrapper Challenge is all about a WARM WEATHER! Bright flowers, summer activities, well the possibilities are endless! So head on over and submit your Warm Weather card for your chance to win some NEW rubber from the new release!!!!

For this card I used the sweet image "Sophie Feeding the Birds"! What a fun image to colour! I love her hair! I tried to make it as summery as possible so I chose a bright yellow for the card base. This paper is embossed with lots of flowers and sunbursts - its soooo pretty, perfect for this theme. Everything you see above, can be found at The Town Scrapper - I just love the new dp from Imaginisce too. Sophie is coloured with copic markers. I added some stickles to the flowers on her shorts and the ribbon on her hat. And of course I had to add lots of prima flowers to finish it off!!!

The weather is beautiful here today! Maybe I'll go feed the birds somewhere!!! Yay for spring!!!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!
