FEATURE MONDAY OVER AT MY GRAFICO

MY GRAFICO'S FEATURE MONDAY

Welcome to Monday's feature here at My Grafico. Hope your morning is starting off well. Not to bad in Ohio. The weather is great. My daughter is done with school. My son and husband are done with college this quarter. We are spending some quality time together but my son isn't into to well. Here's to old for that stuff. You have to spend time with the young children because they eventually grow up and move on. I'm hoping for some great moments this summer and some great scrapbook layouts to.

The set that we are using this week is from designer Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. What we are using this week is Elegant & Shabby School Scrapbook & Card Papers. These papers are terrific for any year of school and even college pictures. There is even a paper that looks like a music sheet. Let's look at the set for yourself.

Here's the card that I made with this set. The papers are so neat that it was hard to pick one. Once I picked one my idea was there. Let me show you the card that I made.

I hope you like what I did with the paper. It was hard to find graduation stuff at this time of the year so I used some of the stuff I have to finish my son's layouts. I'm sure the graduation stuff will be back soon. So if you have a graduate this year, Congratulations to them from me. Have a Wonderful week and I will be back for next Monday's Challenge.

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE WITH WHIMSY IRISH ELEMENTS

How is everyone this Monday? Of course it's another start of a new week and it's also going to be the beginning of March. Two things that I know off the top of my head is St Patrick's Day is coming and so is my oldest son's birthday. He really makes me feel old. He will be turning 23. It doesn't seem possible. I call hime my gunie pig because everything that I started learning about being a mother was with his help. Now he's the one giving me the chance to be a great grandmother to my first grandchild. It's been our inside joke since I can remember. It's nice to have this bond with him. I'm so glad that I'm close to him and my other children. I never really had that and was determined that my kids knew they were loved.  I really rambled on about that. Let's get to our feature this week.

Our feature this week is Whimsy Irish Elements. These were designed by Cupcake Cuties. These digital stamps can be used for anything. I know there are some people out there that don't believe in St Patrick's Day but these stamps can be used for other purposes. You can use the card that I made this week for alot of things. Here is the picture of the set so you can interpret it any way that you would like.

The little girls could be used for anything. I think they are so adorable. I'm glad that we were able to feature them for you.

Don't forget to enter the challenge that is still going on until March 2nd at midnight. All you have to do is get a project made with flowers. Who doesn't love using flowers on their project? I'm wishing you all Good Luck with this one. 

Here is my card that I made with the Whimsy Irish Elements:

The card is a little darker but for some reason the picture wouldn't come out to show you that. I spent alot of time trying to get it to but had no luck. I think this summer I'm ging to take some photography class to see what I'm doing wrong. I would have loved to become a photographer but my life didnt turn out that way. I love to take pictures.

I hope you enjoyed this week's feature. The other Design Team Members made beautiful projects also so if you would like to leave them a little love that would be great. I hope you have a wonderful week and see ya next week.

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY CHALLENGE #121

Welcome again to another Monday Challenge. Yes, a new challenge. Did anyone watch that Super Bowl last night. It was a very good game but I could have bopped my daughter. She was louder then the TV. We even let her stay up so she could see the confetti. I had no idea that they had confetti at the end but she did. Half time was great. Madonna actually did a great family oriented show. I have loved her music ever since her first song. My daughter thought her music stunk. You can tell between generations there. I have to say that I wanted the Giants to win and yeh they did. Happy Days!!

I'm pretty sure you will love this week's challenge and the image that we all used. The Digital Stamp was designed by Sarah Paris and we used her single digital stamp named Fairy Buttercup. I bet you are already thinking of the project that you are wanting to make to enter our challenge. The fairy is absolutely adorable and I loved working with her. Here is the example of the Stamp.

I told you she was cute. If you would like to look at it at the store you can go to My Grafico Arts & Crafts Community. The specific page for this stamp is Here.

Here is the challenge for the next two weeks. It's going to be a fun one. The challenge is Fairy Girl or St. Patricks Day. Entries will be accepted until February 17th at midnight. That's two weeks to make those cute projects. To enter your projects go to My Grafico's Challenge Blog. 

Here is my card that I made. I went with the fairy and made a St. Patricks day card with her. The winner of this challenge will receive the Digital Stamp above by Sarah Paris. She could be used for many of things.

Remember that the other Design Team members made projects with this stamp also. If you have the time please visit their blog and leave them some love. I wouldn't mind some love also. HINT HINT. Have a Wonderful Week and I'll be back.

Well to break the news. This will be the last challenge for this year. We are going to take a break and come back at the first of the year.

This week we worked with Dreamloft Designs. The set that we used was Tropical Cocktails. This really reminded me of the summer and Pina Colada's. (I hope I spelled that right). There are different shaped cocktail glasses that is in this set. It was hard to figure which one that I want to use. I'm not much of a cocktail person but every once in awhile it's nice to enjoy one.Let me show you the set so you know what I'm talking about.

If you would like to see this set closer just go to Dreamloft Designs and you can enlarge the image and see it up close. You can also see more of what Dreamloft Designs has to offer. If you would like to see more about other designers just go to My Grafico Arts & Crafts Community.

MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #105

Happy Monday!!! Hope you are enjoying the weather. I can honestly say that it's going to be in the middle 90's this whole week. I'm so great full that I do have a window air conditioner in the living room. It does make things bearable. All the animals end up in the living room and I'm constantly tripping over them. They also like jumping on my projects that I am working on.  

I just want to remind you 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. You can also visit the other Design Team's Blogs and see what they did with these Digital Stamps. 


This week I worked with Dream Loft. . I used the Clip Art Silhouettes called Animal Cameo's Silhouettes. These are a different kind of clip art then I am use to working with. I did have a little bit of a challenge but ended up with some ideas. 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 beautiful Clip Art Silhouettes all you have to do is head on over to the url that I am giving you.

http://www.mygrafico.com/illustrations-cliparts/animal-cameo-silhouettes/prod_4830.html 

Now here is the card that I made with these Silhouettes. I made a simple card this time. I wanted to add things to it but couldn't find anything that would go with my card.

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.
