Summer in Winter Somethings ~ CHALLENGE

Thanks to everyone who played along with our recipe challenge last week!! I have a few new food recipes I need to try out!!!

Well it's the end of January and we just got a foot of snow and ice!! So for today's challenge, let's all make something to add a little summer to our winter days. It can be a project with summery colors, a summer theme, anything that will warm and brighten your day.

We are happy to announce a new sponsor for this week's sponsor, Pink Gem Designs. Here's a bit about them...

All stamps have been made using original hand drawn images by Janet Roberts. Our stamps are manufactured by a specialist polymer company in the UK from high quality crystal clear polymer. They are bubble free and are unmounted for use with an acrylic block (not supplied).If cared for correctly the stamps will remain clear and may be used time and time again without any image deterioration. Avoid the use of solvent based inks and cleaners and store away from heat and strong light and they should last a lifetime.

Janet has also generously donated a brand new stamp (seen here) for one lucky winner!!! It's called Mimi and scarecrow. Also check out her card sample in the next post featuring another one of her new designs, Meg and chicks.

For your chance at this Mimi and Scarecrow image, just leave a comment on THIS POST by 7pm ET Thursday, February 5, 2009 with a link to your sample.

Have fun stamping some summer in the winter!!!

Recipe Somethings ~ CHALLENGE

What a great birthday challenge we had last week! Thanks to everyone who participated and to Starving Artistamps for donating that awesome blog candy!!!

This week's challenge is Recipe Somethings. Create a project about recipes. It can be a favorite food recipe, a recipe for a perfect day, or whatever the word "recipe" brings to mind. Get creative with this challenge, the possibilities are endless! Our DT has some creative interpretations of this challenge, check out their samples below! :) Including a sample from our newest DT member, Marcea.

Our challenge this week is hosted by our friend Jessica from Jessica Lynn Originals. They are launching their new stamp line on Jan 31, 2009. Here's a bit about their stamps...

JessicaLynnOriginal Clear Stamps are perfect for almost every occasion. They not only are perfect for those heartfelt gifts that you create; but they make perfect gifts for friends and family.

The high quality clear stamps are easy to wash with water or with baby wipes. The best part about Jessica Lynn Original clear stamps and clear blocks is that you can place the image where you need it. With traditional blocks you have to judge, and hope. With our stamps and blocks you will see where the image is going. They are a great purchase, because they are something you can use over & over again! The sizes are the size block that each stamp would fit on; the block is not included with the stamps. You will always be able to adjust the stamps for an accurate position.

Clear Polymer stamps need no adhesive - they adhere with static cling. Can be stamped individually or combined on a larger clear block to make up your unique design.

One lucky participant in this week's challenge will receive a $25.00 gift certificate for Jessica Lynn Originals. Isn't that great?!?! All you need to do is leave a comment on THIS POST by 7pm ET Thursday, January 29 with the link to your Recipe Something and you'll be entered into the drawing, just in time for the new release stamps!!!

Most importantly, have fun!!

No Stamping Allowed ~ CHALLENGE

Happy Friday!!

It was fun seeing everyone's new goodies last week. There were some amazing entries and we definitely had a tough time picking out our guest designer. Thanks to everyone who participated. Drum roll please....our choice for the 2 week guest designer spot is Marcea of Marcea's Crafting Corner! She created this fun, vibrant, and cheerful card....

Congrats Marcea! We hope you'll all come and check out the samples she makes on January 16th and Janaury 23rd when she guest designs with us.

Now on to the new challenge...

Even though the name of our blog indicates otherwise, this week's challenge is to stamp nothing. That's right, no stamping allowed this week. Your challenge is to create a paper craft without using stamps. So get out those papers, rub-ons, chipboard pieces, etc. and see what you can do.

We are lucky enough to have Pamela from FireCracker Designs sponsor this challenge. Here's a bit about FireCracker...
Rubber Stamps for the Artistic Soul
Unmounted Red Rubber Stamps and Clear Photo-polymer Stamps!! Acrylic blocks, re-positional glue, and Shimmerz paints too!
For Scrapbooking, Card Making, Jewelry and Paper Crafts. Unique art stamps for hours of rubber stamping fun! Specializing in those hard to find images, mostly hand-drawn and photo manipulated art stamps.Yoga,Germany, Italy, Children images and so much more! Most of my images are made to work together, and for extra versatility, they often have images that stamp inside other images. Like a sign, that has several words that fit inside, or a flower that is separate from the leaves, so you can stamp the flower once, many times, add or 'leave' off the leaves...create a whole bouquet, or stamp just one... YOU can decide how to put the images together!! Combine sets for lots of options!!!
She has generously donated these TWO super cute winter sets so you can stamp something in the future! To win, just leave a link to your creation on THIS POST by 7pm Thursday, January 15, 2009.

Be sure to check out the DT's samples below. And remember, have fun NOT stamping something!!!
