Hi!  I’m very happy to be here with as a member of the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Design team with a reminder post for our October Mixed Media Challenge.

Mixed Media Challenge FYI:

• Players can link up as many projects as they want (1 project per blog post)
• Projects can be anything — new starting October 2018 – including cards — but stencils must be used
• Non-STAMPlorations products are OK
• To qualify for the prize, players must display challenge graphic (SEE BELOW) and link back to the challenge post (blogs only)
• Prizes: $15 GC for the winner (voted by the team); $5 GC to three (3) randomly picked players

USE THIS CHALLENGE GRAPHIC IN YOUR BLOG POST:

Here’s a card that I made as a reminder for the October Challenge.

You’ll see that I used both the positive & negative die cuts to create 2 cards. One for the original challenge post &  this one for the reminder for this month.

For this card today, I used the ARTplorations stencil Rows of Hearts with Brusho Colour Crystals.

After adhering the rainbow of teapots, I applied Smooch Spritz over the entire card front.  I also used the CUTplorations Hello Word Die.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,

P.S. Here’s a coupon for you. There’s no expiration, as long as I’m a STAMPlorations Girl, this code will be valid.

AAA Cards Game #124 – Imagine

Hi! I’m back with a fun new challenge for AAA Cards.

 

Special tips for competing (and being eligible to win) in this game:

1. As always, we’re looking for Clean and Simple (CAS) greeting cards, BUT for this game please make sure to use the theme of “imagination” of your card front.
2. As always and for all of our games our definition of Clean and Simple means that white space should not be patterned, embossed or textured.

Our super sponsor:

Here’s my card. I was inspired by this game’s graphic and the theme “imagine.”

 

I’ve also been inspired by the flowers in my garden.

  I’ll miss my garden and look forward to the blooms next spring. For now I’ll enjoy my garden until the first frost and will have to imagine what it will look like next year.

I hope that you enjoyed visiting today and I hope that you’ve been inspired to play along.

Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa
