MY GRAFICO'S FEATURE PROJECT FOR THIS WEEK

FEATURE PROJECT THIS MONDAY FOR MY GRAFICO

Happy Halloween!! For those of you that do not like or celebrate the holiday Happy Monday. I didn't realize that there were many people that do not celebrate this holiday. You learn a lot about people when you are on this Internet. I have to admit that this is one of my favorite holidays. We decorate the whole outside and inside. We always have great compliments on our house. Unfortunately, this year we did not decorate. I had been very ill and my son didn't get to have his son this year for the holiday. Joint custody really stinks. Without having my Grandson it was just not the same. Being a Grandma is harder then I thought. I wish someone would have warned me.

This week we worked with Revidevi and the Digital Stamps called Build Your Own Farm. These stamps have all the things to make your own farm. All the pieces are separate so that's how you make the farm you want. I will show you the digital stamps so you know what I am talking about. I had pictures of my dad and daughter with cows but I could not find the pictures so I had to go with my second idea. Well let me show you the stamps right now.

Build Your Little Farm

If you would like to take a closer look I will post the link below. You can also see the rest of the digital stamps and I'm sure you will be absolutely amazed at the stamps. Just take a look for the sake of looking. Here's the link

Now this week is not a challenge week but you still have time to enter the challenge by going to mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com and read the rules. You have until Sunday at midnight to get your project in.

Well here is my project. I did a scrapbook layout instead. I think I may make a book with this for my Grandson. You will see what I'm talking about.



Well I hope you like it. If you can't read it, it's Old McDonald had a farm. I would love to make a scrapbook for my Grandson for us to go and read through that is homemade. Please visit the other Design Team Blogs that's on my sidebar to see what they came up with. Hope everyone has a Wonderful Week.

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE

MONDAY'S MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #114

Hello again!! I'm catching up and now I'm going to tell you about My Grafico's preview for this week. I don't want to bore you with all the things that I said in the last post that was posted earlier today. Kids are in school and I'm getting a little bit caught up. I'm so glad. So, here is the project that My Grafico's Design Team worked on this week.

This week we worked with DreAm Loft and the set called Little Monster SVG. These monsters are very cute and not scary to the little ones that you decorate for. I had started one project, threw it away and started a new one which I will show you here in a minute. I decided to use all the monsters because you can't just pick one out of this bunch. Here is the SVGs for you to look at:


So if you would like to take a closer look at these stamps here is the link that will take you right to them. When you are there look at the rest of DreAm Loft's Design's. I'm positive you will find more that you will want. Here is your link:

SUNDAY'S I DID IT CREATIONS CHALLENGE

I DID IT CREATIONS (IDIC) SUNDAY'S CHALLENGE #77

Hello everyone. I know today is not Sunday but I still wanted to post the challenge and my project for you to see. You still have time to put your project in the challenge for this week. I feel like I am running behind for the last couple of months. I wonder if I will ever get ahead with all the holidays coming up. I know having my daughter home all last week added to my reasoning of being behind. We are from a small town where alot of the students here are in 4H. So there are many that participate in the fair so the district just gives the students the whole week off. It was fun when I was in school but being a parent it does add some confusion in my schedule. I can say that I did get to spend time with her and the crafts had to be set aside until she went to bed which was late every night.

This week's sponsor is Robyn's Fetish and our theme for this week is If I Could Talk To The Animals. Since I could choose the animal I wanted is when I decided to choose another bear. A very cute bear that had a pumkin outfit on. This put two things together, a bear and the holiday Halloween.

Robyn's Fetish will provide a FREEBIE for any participant that wants to use it for their entry.

All you have to do is email me at
 put CHALLENGE # 77 FREEBIE in the SUBJECT LINE


Don't forget to tell me the name of the DT member.
I will send you that image and you will be able to craft away!

The PRIZE for this challenge is 1 Robyn's Fetish image of your choice.
If the winner has used a Robyn's Fetish image for the entry,

the prize is 2 images from Robyn!

Now I will show you the card that I made with my bear. I hope that you get some inspiration from the project that I did.



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.

MONDAY'S MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE


MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE # 116

Happy Monday!! Getting ready for another work week. The weekends are just not long enough anymore. We try to do something on the weekends with the kids. Even if it's a board game called Sorry. My daughter's favorite game right now. If we would let her we would be playing all night. It's nice spending time with them because when they move out who knows when you will see them. My son is 22 and I still hate when he leaves here. You can't keep them at home but you still miss them the same. I worry more then I thought I would after he left. I now know why my parents were always saying they never see their grandkids. You don't realize what they are saying until you go through it. Well enough about me this week. I don't think you would like to read a book about my life. I have thought about writing a book though. I just don't know how to start it off. Any suggestions just let me know.

This week we worked with Designer Olillia Illustrations and the Digital Stamps are called Mom To Be Shopping. Once I seen the credit card in her hand I knew what I wanted to do. You can do anything with a credit card. Although I do not have one. They are to much trouble. The stamps are very lovely women with their cute little belly's. Well lets show you the stamp that I was able to use this week:

Mom to be shopping

So if you would like to take a closer look at these stamps here is the link that will take you right to them. When you are there look at the rest of Olillia Illustrations. I'm positive you will find more that you will want. Here is your link:


This week does start a new week for a challenge. The challenge being baby shower. I can't wait to see these cards. For all the rules and to enter your card just go to My Grafico's Challenge blog at  http://mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com/

MONDAY'S MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #115

MONDAY'S MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #115

Welcome to a new week at My Grafico. Here is a rainy dreary day. Although by the end of the week it will be back in the 70's. I wish it would make up it's mind because I can't get rid of these allergies and sinus infections. The medicine makes me tired and I feel like I'm loosing alot of crafting time. With my daughter in school I have more time to work on my crafts but it's so quiet around here I fall asleep. I am a baby when it come's to medicine. I have never been able to take it without falling asleep. Oh well, at least I am getting some things done. I even have my project for this week. That's a great thing.

This week we worked with Designer Sarah Paris and they are called Green Finger Stamp. There was a wide variety of different stamps and many possibilities of things to make with these. I have to say I could not figure out which project I had in mind to make. Once I started on one it was so easy to finish it up. I just need a craft room so I can find my supplies easier. Well lets show you the stamp that I was able to use this week:


So if you would like to take a closer look at these stamps here is the link that will take you right to them. When you are there look at the rest of Sarah Paris Designs. I'm positive you will find more that you will want. Here is your link:


Well I hope you like the card that I made this week. I do hope that it has given you some ideas as what to do with yours

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