Town Scrapper Friday-No Embellies!!

Ok I must admit, I am definitely not the no embellie type of crafter...not that my cards are crazy full of them either, so I guess I must sit somewhere in between.  Anyway, our challenge this week for you at The Town Scrapper is to use no embellishments!

I have used a brand new image from The Town Scrapper and some papers from Imaginisce and that's about all..it feels like it looks naked to me, but I do like it!  Be sure to pop over to blog to see the rest of the DT creations and to play along with our no embellie challenge this week!

We are having Landon's birthday celebration tomorrow with his friends and then my family, so it is sure to be a busy day.  H really wanted a farm cake..so I am going to work on that request tonight and if all goes well, I may post a pict of what I come up with tomorrow...maybe!

Hugs,

Button, Button, Whose Got The Button!

I have a few!!  It's Town Scrapper Friday here and the challenge this week is to use buttons on your project!

I have used a new Victoria Case image for Town Scrapper called Snow Much Fun!  Of course my yummy papers are the fabulous Bo Bunny Winter Joy collection, border punch from EK Success, buttons are CTMH, snowflake punch is Martha Stewart and I used the snowflake CB folder as well as my i-rock to set the rhinestones:-)  Some stickles around the snowman and for the snow and liquid applique on the cute little doggy!

Hop on over to see what the rest of the Scrapette's came up with and get you buttons ready to play along with us too!  As always, please call or email Phebe at The Town Scrapper for all of your paper crafting needs~info@townscrapper.com, 519-882-0623.

Happy Crafting!

Town Scrapper Friday-Photo Inspiration

TGIF!!  Oh my gosh I am so looking forward to tomorrow..sleeping past 5:30 am, yahoo!!

We are back with a fun photo inspiration for you for Town Scrapper Fridays.

First off here is my card:

and here is the photo we have for inspiration.

This fun pillow stack is from Decor8 and is perfect color scheme for fall!  Check out the other fabulous DT creations as well as the prize that is up for grabs this week!

Now the sketch is from somewhere I just can't seem to remember where...if it comes to me or it is yours, let me know!!  I have used some more of that fun paper stack I bought from Scrapbook Steals, it was a stack by American Craft and this was as close to the color scheme as I could get!  The image is Zeke from the Victoria Case line exclusively available at The Town Scrapper.  Please call or email Phebe at 519-882-0623 or info@townscrapper.com for info on all the up to date images she has available as well as a wide variety of paper crafting supplies!

Town Scrapper Halloween Time

Town Scrapper challenge time is here again!!  This week we are asking to see your Halloween cards!  I used the oh so sweet Magical Sophie for my card and a combination of some papers that have been out on my workspace.  I believe they are Little Yellow Bicycle but don't quote me!

The sentiment is from the Stamp Of The Month from September from CTMH.  Be sure to pop on over and check out the other fun Halloween cards.  You could even win your very own Magical Sophie just for playing along! Hope to see your creations.

This sketch is from the super fun Bunny Zoes Crafts monthly challenge.  Now I'm sot sure if you have to use all products from Nikki's store, but I did use the sketch, so I wanted to be sure to give credit to Moni!

Happy Friday everyone!

Town Scrapper-No Square or Rectangle Cards

Dontcha just love it when you think you have your post schedule only to realize it's not...sorry it's late!

What a fun challenge we have for you this week over at The Town Scrapper!  We all usually stick to making the same type of card, square, rectangle, but this week, we are asking you to bust out the shapes!!  Let's see anything BUT a square or rectangle card, let's see those shaped cards.

I have used sweet Lola by Victoria Case for The Town Scrapper and some fun Taylored Expressions kit paper.  My card is a circle of course and everything from the card with the exception of Lola of course (oh and the flowers) is from the Taylored Expressions kit from July of this year.

I hope you have time to play along with us this week for your chance at the sweetest image!!  Let's see your shaped cards.  Hop on over to The Town Scrapper blog for some great inspiration from my DT mates!

Happy Friday!

Monochromatic with The Town Scrapper

Now monochromatic is definitely a challenge for me, something I have a hard time with...but The Town Scrapper DT has come up with some fabulous cards for inspiration!

Here's mine:

I have used the adorable Victoria Case image for The Town Scrapper called Made With Love and went with pinks as my color scheme.  All paper is CTMH and the heart stickers are as well.  The sketch is a great one, but I totally forget where it's from, so if it resembles one of yours, just let me know so I can give you the proper credit!

So there we have it. Monochromatic is the challenge this week and I hope you play along for your chance to win a super cute stamp!!

Today is the last day of swimming for my kids ...this week...we go all week again next week, so it'll be busy, busy again, but I am looking forward to the week after as it should be relatively quiet!
Thanks for stopping by and sorry for the lull in my blog hopping...summer's here and it doesn't stick around for too long, so I'm enjoying it while I can!

Town Scrapper-Tent Card

I loved this challenge!  I must admit, at first I was a bit confused as to what a tent card was, but Maria has a fabulous tutorial up on the Town Scrapper blog and it made it a cinch!

I have used the adorable Beary Sweet Sophie image by Victoria Case exclusively for The Town Scrapper and some fun MME glitter papers and of course the oh so pretty Prima flowers.  Like I said this was a super fun and really easy challenge too and a great change from just a square or rectangle card, I hope you can join us this week!  Be sure to check our the Town Scrapper blog for some fabulous inspiration from our wonderful DT!!

Father's Day with the Town Scrapper

Yay, time again for another great challenge provided for you from The Town Scrapper.  This week we are asking you to focus on Father's Day or a masculine card.  I have a hard time with guy cards as I'm sure most of you do , but this is great timing to make a card for Dad, hubby, whoever!

This is Big Shoes To Fill Evan (or Evan in Dad's Clothes as he's referred to on the TS blog) and as always, these fabulous Victoria Case images exclusively for The Town Scrapper can be ordered by calling or emailing Phebe at info@townscrapper.com or call 519-882-0623.  

Be sure to stop by the challenge blog for some fabulous inspiration from our awesome DT! 

All papers are from CTMH-Zippidee and the layout is from one of Jeanette's sketches.  Now I don't know if it was for an actual challenge or not, when I printed it off I didn't have any name on it, so I'm not sure, but it is sketch # 12 from Jeanette!!

We are branding our calves this weekend..as long as the weather holds out...some calves are pretty big already, it just might be a rodeo!!  Speaking of rodeo, we are going to local rodeo Saturday afternoon with the kiddos!  See you Monday!

Town Scrapper Fridays-Pink & Purple~ SFYTT

**This is my second post for today, please scroll down to see my Karen's Doodles Kids Challenge card**

That's right, Town Scrapper Challenge time is here. This week we are asking you to use Pink & Purple on your creations. I wasn't sure at first when I first read this challenge, but as I got going, I ended up really liking it. Totally love these CTMH papers and this image is so cute, so it worked!!

This is sweet Lola and can be found by contacting Phebe at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.  All the Victoria Case image made exclusively for the Town Scrapper can be found here.

I have used Jen's fun sketch and all papers are CTMH.  The flowers are as well and I just airbrushed them to match...kind of, my purple was bit off, but it's close:-)

I tried my hand at drawing in a sidewalk as seen on Amy R's blog, but clearly I need more practice...LOL!!

This fun challenge is up and running now for a week, so I hope you can join us!

I am off to a Mother's Day tea this afternoon at the school.  The grades 1-3 are having a celebration for their Mom's.  I think it's going to be great!  The I am going out for a ladies night dinner and then Lance, the kids and I are going to see Stars On Ice in Calgary on Sunday for Mother's Day...should be a good weekend!

Thank for stopping by!

Hugs,

Town Scrapper Fridays!

***This is my 3rd post today, please scroll down for some blog hoping fun with Prairie Fairy and a brand new challenge with Studio 313***

What a week, TGIF is right!! This week over on The Town Scrapper blog, we have a fabulous sketch for you from Ann.  I have used a brand new image called Lela, she's so pretty! 

 I went with school papers and will give this one to Kirsten's teacher at the end of the year..which is creeping up here rather quickly..but I'm excited about that, so it's all good!

We are off to visit my parents on Sunday and to celebrate my Dad's birthday.  Lance is roping that day so the kiddos and I will go and have a great afternoon.  We are also going to celebrate Mother's Day early as Lance, the kids and I are going to Stars On Ice on Mother's Day and won't see my Mom that day so we thought we might as well have a joint celebration!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Puzzle Challenge for Autism-Scrapettes

It's time for a challenge with The Town Scrapper and to celebrate Autism Awareness Month we have a puzzle themed challenge for you.   Feel free to interpret that how you like, but anything with a puzzle theme will do.

I have used Autism Evan for my card today and lucky for me, part of the image is the puzzle! All paper is from CTMH-You Rock, fibers from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

but wait, that's not all....

In addition to the challenge, Leah is going to donate $1 for every project submitted (including those from the Scrapettes), to the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Please help spread the word, so that we can make this a BIG donation!

And to make things even better, Scrapettes Katie, Zoe, Ann and Maria have generously offered to MATCH each dollar Leah donates! Your card equals FIVE DOLLARS!

So let's see just how big that donation will be!!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

These Victoria Case images from The Town Scrapper are too cute!  Here is a new one of the Easter releases, Sophie In The Garden.  Our theme for this week is Easter and I thought she worked pretty well with the wee bunnys.

 

I am loving this new paper I picked up from PaperWorks Co from Three Bugs in A Rug.  It's the Little Chick collection and is all double sided. 

So hop on over and check out  my  sister Scrapette's DT samples for a little inspiration and enter for your chance to win!

Ribbons & Rubons-TS

Well after I thought I was totally on a roll and had my Town Scrapper card all done on Monday for our challenge today...I looked at my book to cross it off my to-do list and realized I didn't even follow the challenge!  HA!! So off to work I went again.

This time I did follow the challenge and here is my card:

The chalelnge over at The Town Scrapper is Ribbons and Rubons.  I actually have a few rub ons on this one...the whole flower cluster consists of 4 different flowers.  I added the CTMH ribbon in Blush to match the CTMH Topstitch paper and of course the adorable Victoria Case image for The Town Scrapper.

If there is anything you are in need of, hop on over and visit Phebe, she'd be happy to help you out.

I used the sketch from Card Patterns #55 for my layout, all CTMH papers and some rhinestones.

We will be at the arena decorating otnight and then gone all day tomorrow for the carnival, so I won't be back on the ol' blog-o until Monday when I will have my Karen's Doodle's card for you!

Have a fabulous weekend!
