Some Buttons!

Hey there crafters!

Well, TGIF!  I am sooo happy it's Friday, and as usual we have another challenge to bring you!  This should be an easy one - we want you to make a creation with buttons!

Our Scrapettes have lots of inspiration for you, and they had a blast playing!  Let's see what we've got:

First up is Dawn!  She has made SUCH a cute creation using Keeping The Peace Evan by Victoria Case! This little guy is just too adorable!  I love that orange colour, and the stitching is fabulous!  And that ripped piece really adds some extra interest!

Next up, we have the ever fun Danielle!  She made the most adorable scrapbook page using Made With Love Lola!  I love the fun colours and papers, and that title is so perfect!

And next, the AMAZING Melanie has made an adorable trio set of note cards using this Jack-O-Lanterns image!  As usual, her colouring ROCKS - it makes the pumpkins look so spooky!

We also had an extra entry this week from our fearless leader Phebe!  She has also picked Keeping The Peace Evan, and made a cute card with her buttons! I love the glossy accents on the fish bowl!

And last, but not least, we have Kelly!  She has used this extra cute Snow Much Fun image, and made a fun and wintery card!  I absolutely LOVE the colours - the greens and blues and purples are so eye-catching!  And fabulous glitter!

If you can play along, please make a new creation using buttons, and submit it using the InLinkz below.  Make sure you link back to this Town Scrapper blog in your post, and you can enter until 9:00pm, EST, Thursday, November 4, 2010.  For the winner of this challenge, Phebe will send you Moe!:

Thanks for stopping by again this week, and we will see you on Monday for another showcase!

It's Monday Showcase Time!

Hey there crafty friends!

It's Robin here, and I thought I would take some time to show you a card I made with a great Kraftin' Kimmie stamp!  It is Showcase Monday, so I have chosen to show you the image called Yvette (and her sentiment)!  For our challenges on Fridays, we use images by Victoria Case, but for Mondays, we can choose any brand that Phebe sells!

Here is my card:

I chose to keep the card simple, because the image is really big and fun, and it pretty much fills up the whole card!

Yvette was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and coloured in with Copics, and I added some shading with my Prismacolour Pencils and Gamsol/OMS.  I pretty much just used the large white panel with a black mat, and my card base is Kraft cardstock.

Hope you likey!

Well, it's Challenge Friday again here at The Town Scrapper and this one is ANOTHER great one for the month of October.... my favorite month! Danielle a.k.a. FitterTwit here introducing an inspiration challenge for the week featuring the colorful stack of pillows pictured here. Before I get into the deets of this week's challenge, let me announce the winner of last week's sketch challenge.

Congrats Schnuti!!! Contact Phebe at The Town Scrapper to claim your prize!!! And "Thank You" to everyone who participated!!!

Ok, back to this week's challenge. The challange is to create an original project using the inspiration picture posted above. Upload your creation to the InLinkz at the bottom of this post by October 28th at 9:00 p.m. for a chance to win this AWESOME Wedding Couple stamp by Victoria Case! And just in time for those winter weddings!!! Now let's check out what our design team did with this inspiration photo....

Ann created this ADORABLE Halloween card using Victoria Case's Halloween Trio. Ann did a terrific job using this brand new stamp available at The Town Scrapper. For more info contact Phebe at 519-882-0623 or by emailing her at info@townscrapper.com.

Kelly also ROCKED this inspiration challenge using the uber-kewl Zeke by Victoria Case. Yep the color combo is PERFECT for the Fall season. And what a great masculine card... those are always the more challenging to create. Nice job Kelly!

And finally, we have Robin, who did an AMAZING job with this Beary Sweet image from Victoria Case - she took the color scheme from the photo, and even incorporated the stacked colored pillows onto the side of her card! Very crisp!

Well, that's about it for today's Challenge Friday. Be sure to contact Phebe at The Town Scrapper for more info on stamps that are available and for more sneak peeks at the new stamps in our HumblePie Stamp line. See you all again on Monday for our showcase!

Great Monday Showcase!!!

OMGosh gang... It's Danielle here with a great Showcase Monday!!! Every Monday we showcase various stamps that Phebe carries at The Town Scrapper and THIS time our design team pulled all the stops!

First off we have Dawn's cuter than cute Bye Bye by Mo Manning! What an incredible job she did with coloring this cutiepie! And that whimsical stitching does everything for this project!

Next we have Ann's super cheerful Cheer Anya from The Greeting Farm! The stitching and the blingy pearls are the perfect accents on this gorgeous card! That color combo is absolutely wonderful!

Tricia's botanical beauty makes me wish we were heading into spring instead of winter! ;) Here Tricia featured TWO stamps: Orange Plant by Whiff of Joy and the sentiment "Heartfelt Gratitude" by My Favorite Things.

And finally, my project features Kraftin Kimmie's Charlotte. I absolutely adore this stamp! To get your hands on any or ALL of these incredible images, contact Phebe at 519-882-0623 or by email: info@townscrapper.com.

Well, let's see what a few of the Scrapettes did with the sketch!

Monday Showcase

Hello again fellow crafters!

Happy Monday!  So, we are here to present you with another Monday showcase at The Town Scrapper!  I always get so excited when I can play along with a Monday Showcase, because I get to go through a whole whack of my stamps and decide which ones I get to play with!  Hmmmm, what shall it be?  Magnolia? Greeting Farm? Kraftin' Kimmie? Mo Manning? 

Well, let's see what the Scrapettes have to show you!

First up, we have Melanie!  She has used her amazing colouring skills to bring us a project using a C.C Designs image called Swiss Pixie Heidi. I love how she has the little pixie sitting kind of outside the box, and the patterned papers are so pretty!

Next, let's look at Kelly's card!  She has used Oliver by Kraftin' Kimmie.  Can you feel the winter season approaching?  I love the embossing, and the additional ice and the sparkly hat!

Next up, Shelly is bringing us a C.C. Designs image called Rosalie!  I love the colours she used - the red hair and the green outfit are an Irish girl's dream!  That bow is juicy too!

Last up, I (Robin) chose to play with The Greeting Farm images!  I picked a stamp that I hadn't inked yet called Cheeky Glamour.  She's so Marilyn, isn't she?  Such a girly image, and so fun to colour!

Well, I hope you have all enjoyed our showcase for you this week!  We had a blast!
Don't forget to play along with our challenge this week: distressing! You have until Thursday night to submit your creation!

For all your papercrafting needs, contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623.
