Challenge # 251 Highlights

Sorry for the late posting everyone! I was away over the weekend to attend the Garth Brooks show in Edmonton (which was amazing).

Thank you for those who participated in my BINGO Challenge.  Not a popular one, but I do hope that it stimulated you somewhat to get your mojo flowing!

Donna

Your project had some really beautiful layers on it! Just loved it!

Cheryl

Loved the texture you added to the circles in your layout!





Red Obsession:

Your coloring was amazing and I love the little details like that cage charm and the little pearls!



Ladies, be sure to grab your  blog badge from the sidebar!  Great work and thanks for playing along!

Join us tomorrow for a brand new challenge to play with!

Challenge #251--B I N G O

Welcome to another fun challenge!  I, Tammy am hosting for you this week and I thought it might be fun to play a bit of Bingo as we scrap.  So my challenge is to use the BINGO card below as you create your project....you need to use any line horizontal, vertical or diagonal or you can use the 4 corners! Be sure to tell us which line you used in your project!

Tammy 

For my card, I used  a horizontal line of red, die cuts or cutouts, hearts and doily...I went with a Valentine's day card for this one!

The doily is recollections and the die cuts are from also Recollections I believe.  I used a foam heart from the $$ store as well as some gold glitter paper from Recollections for the little hearts.  I hope you like it and will play along with us! The DP is from the American Crafts XOXO collection

Julia

Hello friends!! My bingo inspiration included enamel dots, bling, the color pink and stamping. The stamping I had planned didn't work on this layout so I go a little creative and added a little mixed media to the background. For more information and close ups head over to my blog to check it out.

Gail

Here's my card.  I used the line that included: pearls; enamel dots; red; and journal cards.  For more information and a product list, check out my BLOG.

Amy

I used a doily, hearts, diecuts and the color red. I hope you like it.

Karrie

The 3rd row "Red, diecuts, hearts, and a doily" were perfect accents for my page featuring this pic of my adorable teenage parents in the 1960's.

Tina 

I used the bottom row: Journal Card (2), wood veneer (2 hearts and an arrow), Ribbon (used up that blue ribbon) Embossing (dry embossing on the circles)

 

Khristina

I used the second column: white, bling/sparkle (gold foil), die cuts, and wood veneer. 

There is a process video to go with this layout up on my channel as well if you are interested.

 

Haven

Brads, Pink, Hearts and Ribbon

Challenge #250 - Love is in the Air!

Hello Crafty Friends!  

Tammy C. here ...  It is my pleasure to choose the challenge for this week's challenge.

Love is in the air with Valentine's Day just around the corner. This week we would like to challenge you to add hearts to your project in some way.  It can be cards, layouts, canvas, etc. Add hearts by die-cuts, shaped photos, use a stencil on your backgrounds... whatever your creative mind comes up with.

This week I have a card to share with you using Colorburst Powders and Nuvo Glimmer paste.  Hop on over to my blog for the video tutorial and all the details!

Maria Pilar

I made a gift box with three embossing heart dies. The cardstock black&white was colored by me with watercolor,  letting it stain freely. So each heart has different color tones.

Gail

A Valentine's Day card for hubby:

Julia

Hello Friends! I chose to make a layout of one of my grandee's this week, it may be a little hard to tell but there are 3 different hearts on this layout, 2 in the upper right corner and one on the left lower corner of the photo. I do have close-ups over on my blog so if your interested head over there to check them out.

Majo

I created a birthday card with Darkroom Door stamps and added a little heart for fun :)

I also added some Perfect Pearls to make the tulips shimmer a little bit.

Tina

I come across some pictures of my Brother's wedding day, thought they needed to be scrapped and added to our albums. A few hearts on this layout.

Amanda

I did this layout of my husband with our doggies and added a 

couple hearts with some doodled stitching. 

Renee

For my project, I used gold texture paste to make a heart background on a Valentine's day card.

Tammy 

I made this fun card using my Cricut Design Space

Can't wait to see your works of art!
