Love Monkey

Today we have a new challenge for you at High Hopes Challenges. I wanted to do a lovey dovey Valentine Challenge.So we want to see either a Valentine or showing some love on your project.

This is what I came up with...

Today my card features `Love Letter Monkey` I matched him up with the new Basic Grey line `Kissing             

Booth`.This line is perfect if your not a lovey hearts kinda person.It can be used all year thru.The heart circle is from Spellbinders and the multiple hearts are from Lifestyle crafts.

Here are some close ups.

Remember to use a High Hopes image to be eligible to win a stamp.Can't wait to see what you create...be sure to stop by and what the rest of the Divas have created.

You're the Coolest Monkey !!

Hello my blog friends.I must apologize for my lack of posting.My mojo has been lacking a lot. This past month has been busy ,stressful all that good life stuff gives you.Soooo anyhoo because of our cold weather..we've been down to -39,my internet has been down all week.

I wasn't able to post my card for High Hopes Challenge.The challenge is fitting... Winter Wonderland. I am using Dustin Pikes monkey,he's been out in the cold.LOL

I paired him up with the sentiment from Graphicat Designs," You're the Coolest"

I used Little Yellow Bicycles Winter Twig papers.Looove these papers.That cool snowflake embelly is from their collection as well.

Happy Winter Wishes

Well I hope all your holiday wishes came true. After having a couple of weeks of not being in my craft room,it's time to put my nose back to the grind. It's a new Year and a new challenge.

With that comes Something Old and Something New...that is our challenge this week at Scrap Creations

Now for my OLD I have used my High Hopes Stamp ,he's an oldie but a goodie.For my NEW I used the collection from Pink Paislee SNOW DAY.

I mounted my snowman onto a Maya Road Chipboard Doily.I first inked it with Rangers Snow cap paint then added Rock Candy.Once that was dry I used Tumbled Glass distress ink on it.For me that was a new technique,may be old for others.LOL.  

I also used Rangers Snow Cap Paint along the edges of my papers.It's not a great pic but hopefully you can see well enough.The ribbon is from my OLD stash and the snowflake ribbon is from my new stash.

So as I said in the beginning A new year comes with change.At Scrap Creations we say goodbye to old and hello to new. We have 2 DT members leaving us,we say farewell to Jackie and Frances.We wish them well and thank them for all their great works of art!!You will be missed!

 We also would like to welcome all those who wish to join our team .We have a DT Call opening on Wednesday.Look here for more details...good luck!!
