My Grafico's Monday Challenge # 86

Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying their weather. We have had rain since last night. Of Course, it thunder and lightening all through the night when your trying to sleep. It was like a Spring storm but it's still winter. The temperature dropped all day and now it's so cold. It's no wonder why everyone is getting sick. We just need Mother Nature to make up her mind. My poor dog even hates the rain. Last night I didn't even realize that it had started raining and when I went to let her in she was soaked. I had to get her a new sweater so she could get warm.

I wanted to remind you of the rules and what you need to know about putting your entries in. You just need to go to http://www.mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com/ and everything you want to know will be right there. Even though we have monthly challenges our Design Team will still have a new project to show you every Monday using a different stamp set. This will give you great ideas that we used with one of the Digital Stamp sets. Next month we are thinking about going back to the weekly challenges. So stay tuned to see what the changes may be.

This week I worked with the designer Blackleaf Studios. I used the cute Digital Stamps called Flying High . I had a hard time trying to figure out which image I wanted to use. I had decided to make something different then a card this time. I can't wait for you to see it. So here is the picture of the set that I used.




What a great set for a little boys project or someone that loves airplanes. Now here is the altered item that I decided to make



Now all you have to do is go to http://www.mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com/ and enter your project. I wish you all the luck and have fun with it.

My Grafico's Monday Challenge

Happy Monday!! I can't believe it is Monday already. To make it even worse, March is just around the corner. This is going to be another year that flies by before you know it. I remember in High School I thought the days would go slow and I would never make it to graduation and now I wish the days would go slower just so I feel that I have something accomplished. Well I did get something finished. I finished my card for this weeks challenge.

This week I worked with the designer Blackleaf Studios. I used the adorable Digital Stamps called Cupcakes. I had a hard time trying to figure out which image I wanted to use. This is one great set to work with. I can't wait for you to see it. So here is the picture of the set that I used.

These images are great. I think you will have absolutely no problem making several cards from this set. I have more ideas but need to get some other cards finished. I hope that this card will give you some ideas of making your own projects.

My Grafico Challenge #84

Happy Valentine's Day!! Welcome to another My Grafico Monday Challenge and a special day for Love. I have to admit that I don't usually celebrate Valentine's but this year some special people were determined to help me in this day that I use to call Hallmark Day. I can buy a gift any day of the year to show my love for someone. Maybe I'm getting a little sensitive in my old age. My husband came home with a dozen of yellow roses and a nice cold Iced Cappuccino. Those are my favorite drink from Tim Horton's. Then my son's (ex)girlfriend sent me a dozen of multicolored roses. They are so beautiful and she is a great girl. I call the two of them the in denial couple. They still like each other but just haven't got back together. My daughter even wished me a Happy Valentine's Day before she left school. I don't know if I will get anything else today but I'm happy with what I have now. I love my family and friends. They have been so good to me. Thank You!!

This week I worked with the designer Cheri Wenger. I used the adorable Digital Stamps called the Sweetness Collection. I had a hard time trying to figure out which image I wanted to use. This is one great set to work with. I can't wait for you to see it. So here is the picture of the set that I used.


These images are great. I think you will have absolutely no problem making several cards from this set. I have three cards to show you this week that I made with this set. I have more ideas but need to get some other cards finished. I hope these will give you some ideas of making your own projects.

This week I worked with the designer Mel Brushes. I used the adorable Digital Stamps called Fairy Glade. I had a hard time trying to figure out which image I wanted to use. I wanted to pick something that no one else would use. So I used the mushroom and came up with the saying just looking at the image. I can't wait for you to see it. So here is the picture of the set that I used.


These images are great. I think you will have absolutely no problem making several cards from this set.  Now here is the card that I made with the mushroom.
