CCC #28- March Challenge- Use Spring-ish Colors

2012-03-02T14:03:00.001-08:00

Hello again! We're back with the brand new challenge of the month! For the month of March, since that is usually when winter starts to pack it's bags, the challenge is to make a card or project using colors you think look springy. Yellow, light blue, grass green and any other colors you can think of! Our sponsor this month is the wonderful Dina Kowal (or Mrs. Kowal:) She is donating her adorable Cupcake digi with cupcake background as the prize for our lucky winner! Click on the link and check out Mrs. Kowal's beautiful blog and little digi shop! And here is a card I made using the colors that remind me of spring. (Emma here) I was going to use the cupcake digi which we have, but I stamped it and it went all wrong so I just used a different image!
Go to my blog post for a full post.

Thanks again Mrs.Kowal! And happy stamping!

Happy Wednesday everyone! First of all, I should apologize for sort of dropping the ball on our challenge blog. Truthfully, the beginning of this year was a bit crazy around here.

All that to say, we are going to be working in the next few weeks to secure sponsors and come up with more great challenges for YOU! If you have any ideas please send them our way, we want this to be a fun place for you!! :)

Ok, so the winner of this challenge is . . . .

Challenge #6 (CCC6) is to make a card using flowers on it somewhere - they can be stamps, embellishments, pictures, brads, paper - anything with a flower counts! You have until Sunday, June 27 to leave us a link to your creation for a chance to win!

We can't wait to see your cards!

ETA: For some reason it seems that when you add a card with InLinkz you may not be able to see it immediately. Feel free to send us an email but we are getting all the entries- we can see them here, I'm not sure why they don't show up on your screens. Thanks everyone!! :)

Just think, you'll be all ready for Mother's Day!! And while you're at it, maybe you can make one for the grandmothers in your life! :)

Our First Challenge (CCC1)

2010-03-28T17:32:00.000-07:00

We're so excited to bring you our first challenge! Emma is the challenger this time. She'd like you children to make a card using pink if you're a girl, or blue if you are a boy. That's it - easy peasy! :) You can view the rules over on the left sidebar - basically there are no vendor restrictions which means you can use any stamps, papers and embellishments that you want to!

For our first challenge we thought it's be fun to offer a prize! My friend Christie, owner of Paper Pretties has graciously offered to give one randomly chosen winner a brand new digi stamp, called Super Cooper. I don't have a link right now because Super Cooper won't be released until April 1st - but he is super cute! :)

Here's Emma's card. She used Off To School Sophia from Paper Pretties. Be sure to leave a link directly to your challenge submission. If you use an online gallery, please use keyword CCC1. We can't wait to see what you make!!

Welcome!
