My Very First Scrappy Blog Challenge + Giveaway***Closed***

Hi everyone and welcome to my very first Scrappy Blog Challenge!  

I've wanted to host a blog challenge for a long time now and I finally have the time to do so.  The theme for this challenge is "Making the most of your stamps!"  I have stamps in some of my stamp sets that I have never used before and I hope this challenge will help you bust out those stamps and put them to use! 

Here is your challenge:

~First things first....Follow my blog...I plan to have more challenges and giveaways in the future!

~Choose a stamp set from your stash which contains at least 4 stamps.

I chose The Girls Paperie, Vintage Whimsy clear stamp set for my project.

~Create one project using the entire set of stamps!  The project can be a card, layout, tag, altered item, wall hanging, banner or anything else your can dream up as long as you use all the stamps in the set of your choosing!

I used Websters Pages to create this 12x12 layout.  I have used all of the stamps in my Girls Paperie Stamp Set.  I have to say that this layout was hard at first but after I got started I loved the process!

~Come back and link your project here on this post by 12:00pm CST on June 30th!  (I will also have a link to this post in the side bar).  If you don't have a blog and you can open a free account on Scrapbook.com or Twopeasinabucket.com and paste the link in the comments section for this post, if I am unable to open the link to view your project I will try to contact you before the deadline. 

~Be sure to visit other crafters sites to show some love for their projects!

~And your done!


I will choose a random winner on July 1st!

This challenge is open to stateside and international scrappers!  You may enter up to three projects!

I will also post examples throughout the month to give you more ideas!

OH and I almost forgot the best part.........this is what is up for grabs!!!


So, I hope you join in and have fun creating!



Please let me know if you have problems linking your projects.

Graphic 45 Hanging Sign

Hi All,
I finished this project a while back but I'm just now getting around to uploading the photos.  I made a hanging sign for a friend of mine...her birthday was a few weeks ago so I wanted to surprise her.

 I used the Curtain Call collection as well as Recollections, Wild Orchid Crafts, Tim Holtz clock piece, and Prima Lace.  The base is scrap cardboard made from the Donna Downey canvas album packaging.


I would also like to send a shout out to all my new followers....THANK YOU so much for visiting/following my blog!
