Monochromatic Challenge

I have to admit that I'm not the first one in line when it comes to Monochromatic (or one color) challenges but I really enjoyed this one. I really wish the bright yellows were better seen in the picture because it really is a lovely card IRL. Anyway I hope you head on over to the Town Scrapper Challenge Blog to see what the DT has come up with. You can contact Phebe by email at info@townscrapper.com or by phone at 519-882-0623. You'll find a variety of stamps and many other necessitities.

And due to an oversight I never posted my last challenge card for the Town Scrapper. So I'll share it with you today as well. I find it interesting that it is also a monochromatic card.

All the newly released images are in stock and available for purchase from Phebe. Phebe can be reached by phone at 519-882-0623 or via email at info@townscrapper.com. If you can't make it to the store in Petrolia, Ontario (Canada), remember that Phebe also ships worldwide.

Here's the list of hoppers to visit this first BLOG HOP week and be sure to leave a comment on each blog when you are hopping because some lucky random crafters will win Victoria Case rubber stamps. Plus there will be one grand prize winner at the end of the 2-week HOP but we're going to keep you in suspense and show you the grand prize next week ~ hehehe. So start hopping and have a great time.

Friday's Challenge at the Town Scrapper

For for the Fred She Said blog hop click HERE.
Just a quick note to let you know that the Weekly Challenge theme at The Town Scrapper is Easter. There are some adorable projects posted and some very cute and exclusive Victoria Case stamps. It was optional that I participate for this challenge so I don't have a project for today's challenge but I do have a card I haven't posted using one of the new Victoria Case images available at the Town Scrapper.

Victoria Case

Time to stop hoarding those rub-ons and to use some of that ribbon you've been collecting! And time for a Scrapettes Challenge sponsored by The Town Scrapper. If you haven't already figured it out, this week's challenge is called Ribbons and Rub-ons. So lets bust out those supplies and get crafting, I'd love to see what you come up with this week. I have a small stash of rub-ons (that I rarely use) so I need ideas *LOL* For my card I used a Wedding Kit from KI Memories. It was on clearance and a deal at $2.18. It came with designer paper, stickers and rub-ons. Can't beat that, can you? If you are needing some new rubber be sure to check out Phebe's store for some adorable and exclusive Victoria Case designs as well as many other things for all your crafting needs.

Game on

We the Bakers have cooked up another weekly challenge. Thanks to all of you that participated last week. Your cards were awesome. This week's challenge is to use only 1 type of embellishment. You can use as many of the same thing as you wish but just 1 type of embellishment. This includes ribbon. I have to admit that I was a little worried about this one. I went with my favorite Maggie image (Flower Maggie) from Humble Pie stamps and The Town Scrapper. I dug deep into my designer scrap pile and went with the flow. Check out the Humble Pie Blog for some fabulous inspiration and I hope you join in this week.
