Club Anya & Friends Preview

Hi my friends. Here is our final preview for Club Anya & Friends this week. All of these new stamps will be available tonight at 12:00am CST in the store. Today we have another set for you called Oliver and Amelia Buddies. I know you loved the Oliver and Amelia set we previewed last month and you're going to love this one just as much. Here is my card using Oliver. I colored his buddy like a Beagle cause this image is so my son Garrett and his Beagle Riley.

Not too sure how my coloring came out on the puppy with the spots so just pretend he looks like a beagle. Isn't the image just the cutest???? Now check out the cuteness my sisters have for you today.

The Red Queen Scares Me!!! LOL

"The Red Queen shook her head, "You may call it 'nonsense' if you like," she said, "but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"

This week we're getting down to business and reading the "fine print" on the Oh Alice! blog.

We're also SO excited to be welcoming Digital Delights by Louby Loo as our sponsor this week!   WOW!  What a lucky group we are!   Wendy from Digital Delights has not only graced the DT with some super fun Alice-inspired images to use, but is giving away a TEN DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE to one lucky winner who will be randomly drawn from all the entries this week!  THANKS Wendy!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a card using some form of TEXT/Printed DP, Old Book pages, Newspaper print, Old dictionary, etc.   We just need to see SOME form of printed text on your card or project!

Need some inspiration WRITTEN out for you?   Here is my sample and I made my own designer paper with the text print on it by typing it out on the computer and printing it on red card stock. Easy peasy. Here is my card.

 

Isn’t this image from Digital Delights just fabby??? He is cut out with one of the new Nestie Labels 12 dies. Thanks Betty!!!

There is no time limit to play this week, but be sure to check back again next Saturday for another Sponsored event with a PRIZE up for grabs!   If you upload your creation to a public gallery this week, please use keyword OAC6. And leave a link to your card using Mr. Linky on the Oh Alice! blog.

There She Goes - TSG47

Hello again my friends and welcome back. I have another card for you using our Monday challenge from There She Goes. Our challenge today is called “Simplicity”, or a one-layer card. OK, if you visit my blog very much then you know that I LOVE layers. This really was a challenge for me but I really liked how my card came out. Tell me what you think.

I used the stamp set Dance, which is becoming one of my favs. Those are gorgeous flowers, aren’t they? I did pop the flowers up on dimensionals. You are allowed to have images that are popped up with dimension on your card but no other layers/panels! Limit your embellishments to only one kind (but you can use multiple of that embellishment). So get out those stamps and enjoy some simplicity in your stamping this week.

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a one layer card, then go to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the Mr. Linky that is located at the bottom of the challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (Mar. 29). The winner will receive a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. They will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

Caterpillars, Butterflies and Oh, Alice!

CHAPTER 5: WHOOOOOOOO RRRRRRRRRRR YOUUUUUUUU?

"Who are YOU?" said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

This week we are celebrating SPRING here in Wonderland!  And, we have some WONDERFUL winged-things to show off courtesy of this week's sponsor, our very own Jen Shults!  Jen's stamp company, Wild Flower Kids, has grown to be a favorite of mine and we are SO honored that she's agreed to sponsor the Oh, Alice! Blog by showcasing one of her new lines "All-A-Flutter"! Here is my card using Alice and a Butterfly image.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a card using a CATERPILLAR or BUTTERFLY on your projects this week! You have until Friday, March 26th, to submit your entries by 8pm CST. Winner will be announced on Saturday 3/27 during our next challenge and the WINNER will receive the "All-A-Flutter" digital images from Jen! This week's keyword is OAC5.

That's about it!  Just upload your card and link to Mr. Linky on the Oh Alice blog, and we'll stop by to see your amazing creations!   HAPPY SPRING, everyone!   See you next week!

Hugs,
