Challenge #5 at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog

Well good morning to all of you fabulous Paper Peeps! Today begins a new Challenge at C.H.C.A.B. This time the theme is “Pick a stamp, any stamp.”

We have an extra special prize this time generously donated by the folks at Hampton Art:

I decided to create a card. I stamped the sentiment as well as the layered flowers.

I added a whole lot of bling and flowers…and flowers with bling on top , and paper patterns from KI Memories. The beautiful ribbon is Capri Blue Diamond Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 I created the blue flowers by stamping the flower image on light blue cardstock….trimming them out, cutting between the leaves and layering them. Last but not least I topped them off with a large pearly center.

Okay…now it’s your turn to get your craft on and make a great project using a stamped image as your focal point…then link it up HERE to play along with us in the challenge.

Just in case you missed my last post….we shared our new video tutorial for the Mini Vintage Book.

This is the little book we added to the Olde’ Curiosity Shoppe Collage…we got lots of requests for a tutorial and I’m happy to announce that we got all the way through the video without me hot gluing myself to the little book…boo yah!

Okay that’s it for me this morning…I’m off to do the grocery shopping and work on kits for tomorrows class : ) I’m wishing you all a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G
