IT'S COLD OUTSIDE CHALLENGE AT SWEET PEA STAMPERS

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all having a great Friday.  I am a bit late in posting today as I had to run to the grocery early due to snow and my kids school was cancelled today due to weather so they have obviously been home all day.  We did get all our interior Christmas decorations put up, so that was good.  However, just a bit ago, my older son rolled a Gatorade across the floor to my younger son and wound up hitting him in the face and splitting his eyebrow, so my hubby had to take younger son to Urgent Care in this horrid weather - ugh!

Anyway, we have a new challenge for you today at SWEET PEA STAMPERS and it is IT'S COLD OUTSIDE - which is very fitting since it's very cold here!  Hope you will come join us!  In case you forgot, here are our rules:

• Please use a stamped/digital image on your card/project 
• Please DO NOT link back to old projects- only new cards/projects are considered for the prize. 
• Although we would love you to only use Sweet Pea images it is not compulsory. 
• If you use a Sweet Pea Stamps image you will be entered into a second draw to win one digital stamp. The Design Team for that fortnight will pick their favourite card/project using a Sweet Pea Stamps image. 
• Please do not enter the challenge more than 3 times.

So, what are you waiting for, come on and join us!!

My card today features this wonderful digi image from SWEET PEA STAMPS Conie Fong's Snowy Digi.  I have colored image with Copics and Sakura glaze pens, cut with Lifestyle Crafts die and added Stickles.  DP is fron JillieBean Soup and CS is from Bazzill.   Snowflake is from my stash, sentiment is from MFT and cut with Nestie.   Square die cuts are also Nesties.   Sure hope you like it and will come play along!!

CHRISTMAS IN NONTRADITIONAL COLORS AT MILKCOFFEE!

We have a NEW CHALLENGE at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE this fortnight and it is CHRISTMAS IN NONTRADITIONAL COLORS!   We are looking for any creations for Christmas that have moved away from using the traditional green, red, gold color scheme.  You have until 8pm EST on Wednesday, December 18 to come play along. While we’d love to see you use an image from MILKCOFFEE SHOP, it is not required to play along in our challenges.  Only requirement is your creation must be new and only 3 entries per person.  Hope you will come join us!!

For my creation, I chose MILKCOFFEE SHOP image "Christmas Santa."  I love this little cutie and have colored it with Copics, cut with Lifestyle Crafts dies and added Stickles.  I chose DP from Bo Bunny in one of my favorite color combos and CS from Bazzill.  Bell sticker is K and Co., ribbon is from PaperMart.  Sentiment is from MFT and cut with Whimsy die.  Sure hope you like it and will come play along!

BACK AT CHI CHI MEMORIES!!

Happy Wednesday everyone!   For some reason, I am super tired today and I have a busy day ahead so not a great time to be tired.  Anyway, I am thrilled to announce that I am back on the DT for CHI CHI MEMORIES and they are back to releasing New Images in their line of adorable digi stamps:)
Check out our December release

I just love it!  You can see all the DT gals projects using these new images at CHI CHI MEMORIES BLOG.  I have used this cute little bear making snow angel for my card today.  I have colored him with Copics and cut out with Xcut dies.  I added DP from Heartfelt Creations and CS from Bazzill.  Snowflake sticker and ribbon are from my stash.  Sentiment is from the new image set as well and cut out with Marianne die and then daubed with Versa Fine ink.  Sure hope you like it and will check out all the available image sets at CHI CHI MEMORIES:)

WHIMSY STAMPS 24 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS EVENT AND SOME NEWS!!

First of all, I am super excited to announce that I have been accepted to be part of the WHIMSY STAMPS Digital DT for the term beginning January 2014!  Woo hoo, I am so thrilled as I love all the fabulous digital images in the WHIMSY STAMPS shop and I can't wait to share them with you in the coming months.

As an added perk of joining the Digital DT, I get to play along in the 24 Days of Christmas Event happening NOW at the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG!

Every day from 1st to 24th December, a member, or members, of the design team will be sharing a brand new Whimsy holiday creation on the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG.   Included in the daily posts will be a LETTER. Visit WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG every day from Dec. 1-24, make a note of each letter and keep them safe. Once you have collected all 24 letters, you should be able to unscramble them and make a 4 word phrase. Email your phrase to whimsystampscontests@gmail.com by 31st December 2013, and if you've guessed correctly, you will be entered into the draw to win a fantastic GRAND PRIZE!

But that's not all! We will also be running some fun SPOT PRIZES throughout the entire event. The prizes could be hidden on the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG or on design team member's blogs, so be sure to leave a comment at WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG and on our DT's blog posts each day to be in with a chance to win!  Have fun:)

My creation today features this fabulous digital image Little Christmas Angel from Crissy's Digis at WHIMSY STAMPS.  I have colored Little Christmas Angel with Copics and cut out with Taylored Expressions dies.  I found this awesome old Basic Grey DP in my stash, which I think fits perfectly with this darling angel.  I used CS from SU and a sticker from K and Co.  Sentiment is from MFT and cut with Nestie.  Sure hope you have enjoyed visiting today and enjoy the rest of the 24 Days of Christmas Event at WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG!
