Last Scrapper Standing - Week 4

Another round of survivors have made it through week 3's challenge to doodle and the entries were AMAZING, I would encourage you to stop over to the gallery to have a look!

We are now on week 4 of our contest and the challenge is simple - paint!  We can't wait to see the ideas you will come up with this week with such a versatile medium.

I created this layout for this challenge using my fun Amy Tangerine Sketchbook DT kit, paints and some new stamps I had sitting around.

I hope you will join us for the challenge, even if you are just stopping by for the first time, you can still join in and possibly even be our random winner for the week!  Here is a link to the challenge and we can't wait to see what you are going to create!

GDT for June

Wont you all help me in welcoming our fabulous Guest design team member for the this month.  Her name is Carol and here's a little bit about her:

Hi!  I'm Carol, my blog is called Crazy for Crafting, and that pretty much sums me up!  I love to create!  I have been a crafter pretty much my whole life, but I started with the serious hardcore scrapbooking and card making somewhere around 1998. I totally blame Lisa Bearnson and her QVC presentations for getting me involved in this crazy but totally worthwhile obsession. I am very tactile, so my favorite part of paper crafting is the STUFF! I love to touch it, feel it, and use it on my projects!  I love to scrapbook, make cards, and stamp.  Scrapbooking is my true love, because I love creating a layout featuring a photo that captures a moment in time that was definitely worth remembering!  Being a mom to Emily and Jessica is my true joy in life!  I truly hope that my daughters treasure these scrapbooks I'm creating!  You will see them prominently featured on pretty much every layout I create!  The older I get, I have to admit that I am happy and content in my constant state of imperfection!

 

Thanks to Memorable Seasons for having me as their June Guest Designer!  I hope I do them proud and inspire you all a little bit!

 

 

And I personally am so glad to have her here this month-she got to work with the Simple Stories Summer Fresh line for the month and WOWZA is she a talented lady.  But I must say this card is my fave piece of hers-I totally admire her mad card-making skills.

 

Thanks so much for your inspiration this month Carol and look forward to more from you throughout the month!

toodles,
Tami
