All the scrapettes have chipped in projects, and you will be in awe!  Also, some of the Scrapettes are offering blog cand, so you may want to stop by each blog and see who's giving away goodies!

But first, let us announce the winner of last week's challenge: monochromatic! We had a staggering 26 entries!  And the winner is..... Melly!  Check out this amazing purple and white exploding box she made! WOW. 

Please email Phebe at info@townscrapper.com to claim your prize!  Thanks to all the fabulous challenge participants!

This week's challenge is: Anything Goes! Just post your cutest project for the week - we want to see it!

Here's some inspiration from the Scrapettes, using some fabulous stamps by some Fabulous companies, that Phebe happens to stock at her store!

First up, we have Ann! Ann made more than one creation, so let's bask in her glory!
The first card she made uses Tilda Writing in Her Diary from Magnolia. Don't you just love that image?

Ann made another card using the adorable Victoria Case image called Made With Love Lola - this project makes me hungry, and I'm going for a snack in the kitchen! The stitching is just darling!

The next Scrapette in the spotlight is Danielle! She has made an amazing decoration for her plant using Sophie With Daffodil by Victoria Case. I LOVE that yellow! It's so happy and fun.

And the row of ribbons, of course ; )

She has also made us a card for that coffee or tea-lover in your life. She has used the My Favorite Things image called Coffee? Tea? Just perfect for a friend, wouldn't you say?

She also used some really funky stitching, along with Sophie With Bear from Victoria Case to form this sweet card:

Our next Scrapette is Shelly! She has made us a beautiful and eye-catching card with Heidi Among the Flowers by C.C. Designs! The rainbow colours are amazing, and I love her sentiment!

Next, we have Lisa! She has a really creative card here in the shape of a star! I love what she has done with Magical Sophie by Victoria Case, and her papers are awesome too!

And now, the talented Maria is giving us a bright and cheerful card using Tilda With Spoon from Magnolia! Her colouring is so fabulous, and the papers and embellishments are to-die-for!

Tricia has given us a really fun and warm card using Flower Power Camper Van by Stampavie! Don't you just love all the colours on the van, and thos adorable buttons???

Hmmm, I wonder when we'll get some Kraftin' Kimmie?? How about now?!? These are some of my all-time favourite images, and Dawn has done a great job showcasing Lavinia from Kraftin' Kimmie! Fabulous colouring, and great papers!

She has also given us a glimpse into her C.C. Designs collection by using the adorable Spring Emma image! I love that sentiment, and the tiny crocheted heart!!! And who doesn't love a crazy gal with purple hair?

Our master colouring Scrapette Melanie has decided to showcase Rock Star Zeke by Victoria Case! Not only is her colouring phenomenal, but she found the most perfect papers to use! What an amazing guy card!

Our next Scrapette that's showing us what she's got is Kelly! She is using this adorable C.C. Designs image called Cherry Emma, and Whimsical Mushroom from Make It Crafty! Her cherry shirt is soooo cute, and she found the perfect papers to go along with it!

And last, but not least, here is mine (Robin)!  I used an awesome Kraftin' Kimmie image called Posy, and she is toooo cute!  I combined her with some fun cherry patterned papers!

All you have to do to enter to win a fabulous prize (we'll see what Phebe can cook up for you) is to post on your blog and tell everyone about our "last post until after Labour Day", and be sure to link back to The Town Scrapper in your post. Once you have done that, come back here and leave us a comment with a direct link to the said post.

Monday Showcase!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to another fun and exciting Monday showcase!  I tell ya, this is definitely a reason to love Mondays!  Every Monday, the Scrapettes get to choose a yummy image to show you, as we showcase some of our favourite products that Phebe sells at The Town Scrapper!  Let's get this party started!

First off, we have the always fun and enthusiastic Danielle!  She has made a completely adorable card using Ebony from The Greeting Farm.  Don't you just love all that yummy stitching??? That is one cool chick!

Next, the colouring master Melanie has featured a lovely image from Mo Manning called Jack and Ginger. I love the layout she used and those beautiful die cuts!  She always rawks it!

Next up, we have Lisa, using an adorable image from Kraftin' Kimmie called Maxwell - he is the cutest camping mouse I have ever seen!  Those buttons add such a fun and whimsical feel to the card!

Next up, is our fearless leader Phebe!  She has decided to show us this awesome birthday card using a Whiff of Joy stamp called Birthday Bruno the Bear.  I am loving that Nestabilities panel, and the flower embellishments are too cute!

Now, we have a really angelic creation from Donna! She has used a C.C. Designs image called Heidi.  The glitter on the wings is so pretty, and I LOVE the papers she used! Plaid is always so striking, and the gold trim is beautiful!

And last, but not least, we have a really bright and fun card from Tricia! She has given us a glimpse of a C.C. Designs stamp as well - this one is Kiki LaRue Cupcake!  I love the way she used the Nesties to make a frame, and the colours are so cheerful!

I hope you enjoyed what we had to offer you today, and I think it was a pretty rockin' selection!  If you wanna get your hands on these stamps or any others that are sold at The Town Scrapper, contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.

Super Fun Friday

Wow! Was last week's red and white challenge fun or what!?! We got some really great entries! Thanx to everyone who played along with us! The random winner of the red and white challenge was Maria Matter.... CONGRATULATIONS!!! Email Phebe at info@townscrapper.com or give her a call at 519-882-0623 to claim your AWESOME Kraftin Kimmie Emelia stamp. You lucky girl!!!

Now I won't waste any time getting into this upcoming week's challenge!!! This one was particularly fun for me (as you will see). This week's challenge is doing a tent card! Create a new and original tent card and be sure to link back to The Town Scrapper in your post. Then link up your entry to the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post... that's it! We have a tent card tutorial that was posted on our blog Wednesday for those who haven't ever done a tent card so that EVERYONE can participate... be sure to check that out. And in the meantime, our wonderful design team put together some AWESOMELY fun samples featuring our beloved Victoria Case Designs.

I'll start us off with Melanie's gorgeous design. Melanie featured Victoria Case's Lela stamp on a wonderful striped back drop. I LOVE the color combo here Melanie! Great job! This is just a great card that can be used for ANY occasion! I'm lovin the dangling stamped image!
Next we'll follow up with Shelly's BEYOND adorable creation featuring Victoria Case's Sophies Garden. This card just POPS out at you.... great use of dimensionals Shelly! This is a card that will brighten anyone's day!

Next up is Dawn's beauty featuring Victoria Case's Beary Sweet Sophie with Bear. Again... WONDERFUL color combination! The turquois and brown is so fetching!


Kelly also used the Beary Sweet Sophie as a dangle image for this super cute card. I really do love the dangles in the center of the tent cards, don't you?


Shown here is the tent card that Maria did for Wednesday's tent card tutorial. She used Victoria Case's Magical Sophie as a dangle for her tent card as well. I'm all about the "girly" and this one is PERFECTLY girly!!!

My fellow Blog Manager Robin designed this adorable card using Sophie With Daffodil suspended among some lovely flowery papers! She looks almost real like she's going to step right off the card... AWESOME coloring Robin!!! Again, I adore the muted tones!

And finally.... my tent card. I took pics from the side as well as a close up. Have you heard of Christmas in July? Well, I couldn't resist Halloween in July! This little Victoria Case Magical Sophie kind of took me there as I was coloring her. She ended up being truly magical! I'm a bit of a Halloween freak anyway! LOL!


But it's nice to see how versatile this particular stamp is!
Well, that about does it for today's Challenge Friday. Be sure to send Phebe an email at info@townscrapper.com and ask about The Town Scrapper's incredible specials that are going on now. What a great time to expand your rubbah collection!!! You can also call her at 519-882-0623. Have a terrific week you guys and I can't wait to see the tent cards you link!!!
