MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE #111

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE #111

Welcome to another My Grafico's challenge. This week is going to be totally different with our challenges which I will let you know here in a minute. Did everyone have a wonderful weekend? I know the people on the east coast did not. If you had loved ones or friends that was on the east coast I hope that they made it through OK. I have a sister-in-law in North Carolina but she was far enough inland that she was OK. I have more relatives on the east coast and so far they are doing OK to. I never seen such a big storm as Irene. Weather these days seem to be worse then years ago. Ok lets get started on the new challenges.

I hope that you will like the new set up for our challenges. We will be having Bi-weekly
challenges and Monday Features that the Design Team will be doing for you.
Once again, please visit the rules as some have changed.
We now have a fun theme for the first challenge. The theme is Back To School. We will be taking your entries up until Sunday September 10th at midnight.

This week we worked with Dilek Design Studio and the stamps are called Back To School. These stamps came at a good time since schools are starting everywhere. These are very adorable for those first of school pages, cards or other altered projects. So here is the picture of her stamps:


If you would like to view this set and more just go to the link that I have provided below:




Now here is my project. No card this week but a cute little lunch box.


Well I hope you liked the lunch box and also visit all the other DT blogs and see what they made of the same stamps. Have a Wonderful week.

I DID IT CREATIONS (IDIC) SUNDAY CHALLENGE #70

IDIC SUNDAY CHALLENGE #70

Welcome to another Sunday with IDIC's Challenge. I truly hope that everyone is surviving the Hurricane. I'm not to close to it but everything that I have seen is so devastating. My sister in law lives in North Carolina but far enough inland that they were safe from it. I haven't watched this morning what damage that it has done. It's just hard to watch and see what people are going through. I do want to send hugs and prayers to those people on the East Coast.

This weeks sponsor is Toucan Scraps. The theme for this week's challenge is Nature. The stamp that I used was called Dragon Fly Meadows. I can honestly say that it took me a little longer to come up with an idea for this one. I never done that many cards about nature. I have done animals but not meadows. I did like the challenge though. Toucan Scraps has many more stamps and papers but if you are interested in looking at this stamp just go to:



Our challenge winners win 1 free digi of their choice from the current sponsor.

If you use one of the current sponsor's images you will win an extra digi.

I will show you the card that I made with Toucan Scraps Dragonfly Meadows.


Don't forget to visit the other Design Team Blogs to see the creations that they made this week. Good Luck with the challenge. It will be nice to see what you create.

LOL The weather again is rain today. I love rain but this is the last weekend before my youngest goes to school. My son doesn't start college until the end of September.

It was just hard trying to figure out what sport it would be that my kids were not fighting over "Mom did this because of you." Don't know if that's happen to you but it has here. Well if you are interested in looking at Stitchy Bear Stamps images just go to:

MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #109

WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S MY GRAFICO MONDAY CHALLENGE

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I did. I had some time this weekend to work on some scrapbooking things and spend time again with my Grandson. I love the time that we do have together. I wish his other would let us have him more like she is suppose to but my son and her still cannot get along. They are so young that they don't understand what they are doing to their son. I've tried to talk to them but it's like talking to a cement wall.

Things here at My Grafico are changing. We have a new DT Coordinator. Congratulations goes to Tammylee. Here blog is still on the sidebar of my blog. Our latest Coordinator, Tazza, is going to be having her baby soon and needed some time to get things ready for this blessing. Congratulations to her.

We will have bi-weekly challenges but the DT will still be having a project every Monday. These new challenges will be starting August 29. I'm so excited with the new changes. I hope to see you when everything changes. When I know more you will know also.

This week we worked with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff called Retro Movie Digital Stamps. These are very cute stamps that will remind you of the beginning of the Movie you are watching. Here is the picture of her stamps:


These are so cute. I know you will want to get these stamps. Now here is the project that I made with these stamps.


Well I hope you liked the card and visit all the other DT blogs and see what they made of the same stamps. Have a Wonderful week.

This week I worked with Jessie Weible Illustrations. The stamp set that we used was her Fun Frames. There were many frames to choose from but my problem was what will I put in them or around them. But once I started playing with them I came up with many ideas. I know you will to.  Now I would like to show you a picture of the Digital Stamp Brushes that I used.

MY GRAFICO 'S CHALLENGE #107

Welcome to a new week with My Grafico's Challenge. I hope you all find this weeks project to be fun and something that you will want to do for yourself. I do want to apologize for not posting last weeks challenge but life gets out of control sometimes and mine always seems to have something going on. It's like what my husband says "If we didn't have bad luck then we wouldn't have any luck at all." I did make a project though so I will post it at the end of this week's project. I do want to share it because it was alot of fun and I did put alot of work into it.

Today is the first of August, so we will be starting a new challenge of the month. I can't wait to see all the new projects that will be added. I just want to remind you again what you need to do to enter our challenges. 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. Our Design Team will show you projects we worked on with that stamp set of the week to give you an idea of what you can do with the stamps. You may see the projects and think that you just have to have that stamp set. Please visit the rest of the Design Team's blog and leave them some love.

This week I worked with Cheri Wenger. I am using her digital stamps called Lil' Expressions Mega Collection. There are 100 mini digital stamps. Yes, I did say 100. Think if all the possibilities that you could do with these stamps. I'm so glad that I have this set. Now I would like to show you a picture of the Digital Stamp Brushes that I used.


So if you would like to purchase these mini digital stamps just go to the the link I'm providing below.


Now here is the card that I made with these mini digital stamps. My Grandson actually gave me the idea for my card. You will have to see to understand what I'm talking about.



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. Have a Wonderful week and I will have another challenge for My Grafico next Monday.

Now I will show you the project that I made for last week's challenge. We used the stamp Magical Meadows designed by Mels Brushes.



Hope you liked it.
