A Post & A PRIZE!

Today's post features a PRIZE giveaway! Keep reading!
Did you know that Chi Chi Memories not only has fabulous digital stamp images, but Natalie also makes the most adorable stickers and note cards and, well, the list goes on.
So I thought I would show you a card I made using Natalie's handmade stickers.

These cute little cupcake stickers come in a package of 12 and I have a FREE set to give away today!

Just leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Chi Chi Memories stamps are and I will choose someone at random to give these stickers to! The great thing about this package of stickers is that it comes with a 15% off coupon which you can use towards the purchase of your favorite stamp or other adorable Chi Chi item! Cool, right?
I made this card with the 'Thank You' stickers of the bunch and the nice things about these stickers are their colors can be used as a jumping off point for your projects just as I did here with my card. I love this color combo of chocolate, rose and saffron!

So make sure you head over to Chi Chi Memories to see all of Natalie's other fabulous creations and of course stamps and head back here to tell me which ones are your favorites and you could be the lucky winner of this cute set of stickers and a special Chi Chi coupon!
Have fun!

CCB07 Challenge Hosted by ME

Hello Everyone! I'm super excited to be hosting the Creatively Cute bloggers challenge this week.

Supplies for card making are expensive and you never seem to have enough "stuff". So my challenge this week is to scale things back, way back! Maybe this will be your new style? I've been working with it. I'm having a lot of fun with this concept and I've made more cards in the last few days than I have in almost a month.

Make a card with only one layer. That's right, ONE! Literally, ink to paper! You may add up to two embellishments but your entire creation other than embellishments has to be one dimensional.

This challenge will run through May 31st and I will pick a winner and announce on Tuesday June 2nd(normally Monday, but with the holiday we'll go an extra day).

Remember, anyone can participate! Create a card using the challenge guidelines and upload to SCS using keyword CCB07. That's it, well, and have fun!

You will notice that the card I made for Ellie's challenge last week as sort of a teaser also meets the one layer challenge. You can see it below for yet another example.

Here is the prize!


This prize contains
4 different paper shares(Die Cuts With a View, Marcella K, KC & Company and atd)
2 packs of 3D sticker embellishments which coordinate with with Marcella K paper

Creatively Cute Bloggers Challenge #2

Paula is our hostess for Creatively Cute's second challenge. It's a fabulous one and see the prize above? Super Great!. Here's what she had to say:

"...This is a challenge unlike others...we won't be making a card or a box, nope, not this time...this is something we ALL NEED....
LOL...no...not a vacation...although I'm SURE we all NEED that

We need ORGANIZATION! Yes, we (papercrafters) are KNOWN to hoard, covet and well, create creative messes! For THIS challenge I want you to take the time it would take to make ONE CARD and organize something...ANYTHING papercraft related...some ideas

Organize those Jumbled Ribbons
Organize your Acrylics
Organize your Dies or Cricut Cartridges
Find a proper place to store your expensive markers
Label something
Make a binder to organize the sketches you keep printing off your computer
Rearrange your paper by color/theme/mfg
Make a holder for your heat gun
Repurpose a cork board for your creations
You can do ANYTHING you want, as long as it's papercraft related and you take a photo of it...now, no fair taking a photo of something you already have done (we're going for the honor system here, if you REALLY want to impress me take a before AND after photo of it....)... I want you to do this so you'll have MORE TIME TO CREATE all those "other" challenges later!

Be sure to upload your newly organized whoosiewhatsit to SplitCoast Stampers and put in the keyword CCB02 . You're deadline is to get this done by is Wednesday March 25th. Voting will begin Friday March 27th."

Be sure to visit Paula's blog to see what she's done which will for sure inspire you.

Here is the CCB02 Gallery

Paula has been kind enough to extend this challenge so we all can have the opportunity to participate. The dates listed above are the NEW dates. Remember, anyone can participate! Use keyword CCB02 when uploading to SCS and you will be entered to win Paula's awesome prize.

I have a couple of things I want to do for this project, but I'm going to do the most needed first to make sure I get it done! I should go start now!
