It's ON the bag!

 There's still time to join in on Altered Boxes, Bags, and Books Challenge! Hosted by our Guest Designer, Paula.
  Here I used the Serena #2 stamp which is "new to me"! I stamped her on glossy cs with ColorBox Mudslide and then surrounded her with die cuts!

Altered Brown Paper Lunch Bag

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend. It's a little, no, a lot! soggy here! We are feeling the effects of tropical storm Andrea in Nova Scotia. Makes for a great crafty day though!

This month's challenge is to alter a bag, book or box. I decided to alter a brown paper lunch bag. This was a lot of fun to make. Lots of layers of die cuts with the beautiful Serena #2 photo image stamp.

Hope you can join in this month. Hop on over to The Stampsmith Challenge Blog for all the details!

Scraps From A Broad: It's On The Bag

Recycle, Reuse!

  Hope you're keeping warm if you're in a deep freeze like I am! Brrr! Good excuse to stay indoors and get crafty! The Stampsmith stamp I used here is called "Love Under The Stars".
  Would love to see your projects in this months challenge: TSC 38: Recycle Reuse.
I have chosen a bottle cap. I collect them. You can buy them in different colours at Michaels, but I like the "natural" look of the "real" ones.

The weekend is upon us...finally! Have a crafty one!

i made it myself!

White On White Tag

  Last day to play in the November challenge, Monochromatic White over at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog! This is a tag I made for Julie, my fellow Stampsmith Design Team crafter. We had a Holiday Swap. I like making tags for Christmas, as they can be used as ornaments too.
  This lovely stamp is called Holly Christmas and is available at The Stampsmith Shop for only $6.00!
Have a wonderful weekend, and hope you are getting your crafty gifts, cards done!
  To see what's on the back of the tag, pop over to Scraps From A Broad

White Winter Wishes

  Squeezing this post in before The Stampsmith Monochromatic White Challenge is over. There is still time!
  One of my favourite stamps from the Thank Heaven For Little Girls #1 stamp sheet. Loved making this with all the embossing and die cuts. Couldn't leave it just white. Had to add a touch of vintage!
  Hope you will join us over at The Stampsmith Challenge! You could win some rubber! More photos on my blog, Scraps From A Broad.
  Have a great week!

White on white...and a bit of vintage!

Good morning! This is my white on white card. This was hard for me as I don't usually do a white card or even a white card base, but once I got my embossing folders out and Distress Ink Vintage Photo, I really started loving it!

This sweet image is from the Thank Heaven for Little Girls #1:

Hope to see your white on white creation on The Stampsmith Challenge Blog! There is rubber to be won! You must use at least one Stampsmith stamp to be eligible.

Get Inky!

  It's my turn to host a Stampsmith Challenge! My first time! February being the month of love and all that mushy stuff, the challenge is Love and Lace.

Bling In Brown

I love Bling and I use her every chance I get! I used Ancient Page Chocolate to give her more of a vintage look. Chalks were used to tint her face, arms and hair. Stickles in Platinum, Silver and Gold used on her bracelets, necklace and earrings. Small bling for her rings. This gal is oozing with self confidence and has a bit of an attitude!

Hope to see your Tag Art on display at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog. I'm hooked on tags. Great fun! For what's on the other side of Bling, pop on over to Scraps From A Broad for a look see!

Have a great week and stay warm!

Christmas Tags That Sparkle!

Happy Holidays! It's crunch time! The December challenge is great fun! Get out your glitter, bling and sparkly stuff! I wanted to get these 2 tags posted before the big day.

This tag was for a friend and co-worker. If you look real close, you can see I added their names to the postcard Anita is holding! The tag was sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Mist, but the camera didn't pick it up.

I made this tag for another friend and co-worker. The name of this stamp is Maude. The background paper has glitter swirls and leaves on it. I used chalks to tint both girls. Both stamps are available at The Stampsmith Shop. Still time to enter. You have until January 8th. Full details over at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog.

Happy Holidays Everyone! Get Inky!

Shimmer, Sparkle and Shine. Christmas Is Coming!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! This little angel (well, she's a sweet little girl and I added wings to her!), is from the Isn't She Lovely? sheet at The Stampsmith Online Store. The papers I used are Christmas, just not traditional colours. I used chalks to tint her.

A new challenge is underway over at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog. You have until January 8th. If you use at least one Stampsmith rubber stamp, you are eligible for the random draw for a sheet of rubber! You can't win if you don't play!

She's Got The Look

   Isn't she something? This sassy lady is called The Look and she is available at The Stampsmith Store in unmounted rubber or wood mounted. I used rose chalk on her cheeks, and added some red glitter to her lips. There is some black tulle under the sentiment. Love that stuff! The gorgeous black velvet ribbon is from my stash of unknown origin! Silver bling for her necklace. The sentiment is from Michael's $1.50 bin.
   This is another card I made for the Ribbons & Lace Challenge that's still going on over at The Stampsmith Challenge Blog, along with the 1st Anniversary Blog Hop! You still have time to join in on both! There is free rubber to be won! You can't win if you don't play!
