MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE

 MONDAY'S FEATURE FOR MY GRAFICO

Good Morning. I do apologize that this is a little late but it's hard to start things so early in the morning when it's so cold here. Yes, winter has finally hit here. There's a little bit of snow on the ground and the temperatures are very cold. So when you are warm under those blankets you really don't want to come out from underneath them. My little dog even get's cold which I don't know how. She wears a sweater and still has to be under blankets so she will stop shivering. I have never seen a dog that gets so cold like that.

So did everyone like the first challenge of the month. You still have time to enter. The end date is January 20th. This week we are going to have a feature week. I think you are going to like the set that we chose. The designer is Cheri Wenger and we used her digital stamps called The Sweetness Collection. I had worked with this set when it first came out and alot of fun with it. There are very cute designs on it and I did make many different cards with the set. With Valentine's coming up these stamps are perfect to have. Here's a look at the whole collection.

If you would like to see the this set closer then go HERE. You can also see more of Cheri Wenger's design you just need to go to My Grafico's Art's & Craft's Community . You can also see more designer's work here also.

Let's get to my card. I used the Bubble Gum Machine. This was a fun project. Here is my card that I made this week:

I do hope that you liked the card. Remember that the rest of the design team has made their own projects so I would go and take a look at their great designs. Have a wonderful week and I will see you next week for a new challenge.

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.

My Grafico's Monday Challenge #92

Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a great weekend. I can honestly say that mine was busy but I liked what I was busy with. I spent most of Friday with my Grandson Hayden. He is getting so big. I can't believe he is 17 months already. He's starting to do that little run that toddlers that age does. I was blowing him bubbles and instead of catching them, he was trying to eat them. It was very funny and I didn't get it on video. Then Saturday my son went to his Senior Prom. Of course I cried when he left. He is doing all the great senior things and then he graduates. That means he can leave the nest. I'm trying to hold on real tight but I don't think it's going to work. Then I actually had time to do some crafting. So I consider it a good weekend with family. That's what I'm trying to do with my Scrapbooking is keeping the memories for future generations.

Let's go over 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.

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!!

I wanted to remind you of the rules and the entries, 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.

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.

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.

                                               

 

I'm On The Design Team At Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends

Hi Everyone!! I wanted to share a new site that I'm on the Design Team. The blog is called Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends Design Team Blog. The url for this site is http://www.scf-designteam.blogspot.com/. There are a great bunch of ladies that participate on this design team. We use the Digital Stamps and Digital Papers from the My Grafico Store. Each project that we use I will give you the url that goes directly to the set that I use so you can go right there and buy the set if you would like. I just love the designers there. They are great Digital Projects.

The first project that I made was from the designer Cheri Wenger. I used her Digital Stamp set called Birthday Pals. You can find them here: http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/digital-stamp-sets/birthday-pals/prod_2111.html  This will take you right there. He is a picture of the Digital Stamp Set:

This set may say Birthday Pals but they are so versatile that you could use them for more then just Birthday Cards. I used them for Valentine's Day. Here is the card that I made with the Frog from this set:

I think this turned out cute. So if you would like to see more great projects from this set just go to Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends Blog. If you really like it you can buy the set at the url that I gave you above. Come back soon as there will be more projects posted from this design team. Also don't forget that I'm still on the Design Team at My Grafico also. Look for my post Saturday where I will be showing our first project for announcing the new team.

MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #78

Thank You for joining me on another My Grafico Wednesday Challenge. I did miss everyone last week. I seem to catch everything that my kids are coming down with from school. My son's school has actually had to call parents of kids that have come to school more then two days sick and ask them to come get their child from school. They asked them if they would keep their children at home until they are better. I was amazed that they were going to start doing this. Both my kids have come home with something from school in the last two weeks and I made them stay home from school.

Before we get to this week's challenge I do have an announcement. This will be the last challenge for the year. We may come up with one more but I'm not for sure. I will still be posting projects that I'm making so you can still keep getting some ideas from the projects that I have been making. Make sure you come back the first week of January to see the first of My Grafico's Wednesday's Challenge of 2011.

The challenge this week is Anything Goes. I love these challenges because you will see more of my work come out in the project. We worked with Digital Brushes and Digital Paper. The Digital Brushes are Vintage Pinecones designed by Cheri Wenger and the Digital Papers are Traditional Christmas Damask Papers. This week you could make a card, scrapbook layout or any altered item to use for the challenge. Just make sure you use one of the My Grafico FREEBIES on your project. Here's where you need to go to grab your freebie: http://www.mygrafico.com/freebies.

Here's a picture of the Digital Brushes and the Digital Papers:

Here is the card that I made with these brushes and papers:

Well all you need to do is go to http://mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com/ and read the rules and create your project. I wish you all the luck at winning these Digital Papers and Digital Brushes.
