NEW FEATURE AT MY GRAFICO

A NEW MONDAY'S FEATURE FROM MY GRAFICO

Hope you are having a great Monday morning!! I'm a little slow today. This weather has really played with my sinuses the last couple of days. I almost had a new granddaughter last week. They called Amanda and told her to go to the hospital because of her BP and they thought they were going to have to take the baby. Of all days, it was on my son's birthday. Wouldn't that be neat to have your daughter on your birthday. Well, she was sent home and they have to tests on her at least twice a week. She was in there all day. We were wondering if she was going to have her. She has three weeks left so I will keep you informed. I'm getting excited.

The feature designer this week is Cupcake Cutiees Design. We used a set that was called Easter Candy and Cakes Clip Art Elements. As soon as I seen the jelly beans I knew I wanted to do something with them. My favorite candy but you can only find it this time of the year. There are many items with this set so you can make many cards and they don't have to be about Easter. The cakes are also cute on there. This is a set that I think that you are going to want to add to your collection. I'm glad it's in mine now. Here's a picture for you to see what I am talking about.

Great set!! Don't forget that you have a week left to get your projects in for this last challenge. The theme was Easter or Spring and you have until March 30th until midnight to get those in.

Well let's get to my project that I did use Jelly Beans in the card.

I hope you like the glitter on the jelly beans. I thought that I would make them pop a little. The carrots also have glitter on them. I'm going to let you know again the our Design Team had a great time with this set also so don't forget to see their blogs. Good Luck to all entries for the challenge and I will see you next Monday for a brand new challenge.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER FEATURE FROM MY GRAFICO

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE WEEK

Welcome to another one of My Grafico's feature Monday. I'm sure you will love the set that was picked for this week. It's something different but fun at the same time. I won't bore you today with my little updates. I had spent time with my grandson this weekend and I could easily write a short story on the things he was doing. He's growing up so fast.

The designer this week is Lil Ellaboudy and we used her set called the Vintage Bundle. This bundle has many things to it. There are a set of black and white patterned paper, a set of full size  (12.5 inches wide) ornate borders, a set of vintage brushes, and a set of 8x6 floral photo borders. Everything in this Vintage Bundle is in black and white but I added a little color to mine. Here is a picture of the Vintage Bundle for you to look at for yourself.



This is a very large bundle but there are so many different projects that you can make from it. The Design Team has out done theirselves with this set this week. They have made many different projects from this set that I was amazed with. They have great talent.

Don't forget that you still have a week to enter the challenge that started last Monday. You have until March 16th at midnight to get them in. The challenge was about flowers. Very easy challenge for you to still get into.

Let me show you my project from this bundle. I did do a card and like I said before I did add color to mine. I have a hard time making something that is just black and white.

I do hope you like the way I used this set. I really loved all the things in the bundle. I will be going back and using this again for other projects. I can't wait. I can't stress it enough for you to look at the other teams projects. Their blogs are on my sidebar. Hope you have a Wonderful Week and Good Luck to you all that participate in the 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

 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.

FEATURE WEEK AT MY GRAFICO

TODAY'S MONDAY FEATURE AT MY GRAFICO

Thanks for joining me for another feature week at My Grafico. I'm sure you will love what we have for you. Is everyone getting ready for the holiday's?  I can say that I have been busier then normal. I attempted to go shopping this past weekend and the lines were so long. My husband and I took turns standing in line just so the other could take a break. Even the grocery stores were very busy. I came home and crashed for the rest of the day.

Let me get to this week's Feature.(I hope you are still working on those projects for the challenge that's going on now.) The designer that we are featuring this week is Dreamloft Designs. We used her clipart called Christmas Friends. These little friends are adorable. There are bears, snowmen and more that I would love to show you on her page. So let's get to her adorable friends.

These friends are so adorable and the colors are very bright and inviting. These would make a great purchase for cards and even scrapbooking layouts with pictures of the kids. I would love to make a layout with the bear and my grandson. Visit Dreamloft Designs and see the great price on these Christmas friends. She has many other designs that you can look at also.

You still have until December 16th to get your projects done for the Masks Challenge. I hope you are having fun with this one. Remember all you have to do is go to My Grafico's Challenge Blog and see all the rules you need to participate.

I didn't make a card for this feature. I decided to make a decorations that hangs on the front door or any other door you would like. I thing my grandson will love this one. Remember I used Dreamlofts Designs Christmas Friends.

There is glitter glue on all of the hats but it didn't show up that great. I think I needed a white door to take the picture but I hope you get my idea. I hope you loved the feature this week that we used with Dreamloft Designs. Don't forget that the reat of the Design Team made things from this set. Leave them some love when you see them. Next week will be our last week until the first of January. Don't forget to come here though and see what's going on. have a Wonderful Week and see you soon.



MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE WEEK

Welcome to our Monday Feature Week. Hope you all had a Wonderful Thanksgiving and an awesome weekend. I can honestly say that I had a Giving Weekend. This is something I said I would always do if my hair was long enough. Give it to the Locks Of Love. I had hair that was clear down to my behind. (Embarrassing Word) I had 16 inches cut off my hair. It felt so good to have that hair off of me. When I told the lady what I wanted it cut off, you should have seen her face. She asked me twice before she cut the pony tail off. Their are a lot of things that I really believe in and if I can help in any way I will. It feels great to donate that hair to help someone else. I didn't do it for the attention. Just to be happy doing it. You never know how great the feeling is to give.

Thanks for listening. Now let's get to the feature the Design Team and I had made this week. We used stamps from the designer Dilek Design Studio and the stamps were called Christmas Accessories Stamps. These are great accessories to use for anything. Scrapbooking Layouts, Cards, Altered Art and so much more. I was grateful for working with these. Do you know that at this time you can not find much of anything for Christmas Crafts. It's horrible. These stamps are going to come in great use for me. Let me show you the stamps so you can see how great they are.

I hope you like them as much as I do. I love the candle but couldn't figure out how to make a card. I know there are alot of saying with candles for the Holidays but I couldn't think of any of them. I guess I was having a creative block. LOL Here is the link that will take you straight to the page to purchase these. Also take a look at the other designer's stamps while you are there. They would love for you to see their work. Here you go:

Also, you still have time to enter the challenge for this two weeks. The theme is Dinner/Cleaning and you have until Midnight December 2nd. It's a great challenge and I would love to see you all take a chance and enter.

Well now is the time to show you the card that I made this week with the Christmas Stamps from Dilek Design Studio. I love the holidays so this is going to be cute for one of my Christmas Cards.

I actually found this paper in my stash. See it's good to be a paper hoarder. I hope the card gives you some inspiration. I do hope that you go and look at what the other Designs did with these accessories. We all have different ideas so see what they are. I wish you luck in that challenge that's still open. Have a wonderful week and I wil see you next week where is will be another challenge week.

MY GRAFICO'S MONDAY FEATURE

MONDAY'S FEATURE WEEK FOR MY GRAFICO

Welcome to another Feature Week with My Grafico. This week we will show you a Digital Stamp set that the Design Team worked with. I will let you know about the challenge later on in the post. This is a little bit late being posted and I do apologize. Everyone forgets to do things here and there. As I said before, I need a big planner to keep all my commitments right there in front of me in the morning.

This week we worked with Dream Loft. The Digital Clip Art we worked with were called Love Bus Clip Art Collection. I thought of the 60's immediately and couldn't wait to see what it was we were working with. Of course, several things came to mind but some I just couldn't do. I was wanting a picture of one of my family members from the 60's but didn't find any. Not many people took pictures back then to show their future family anything that they lived through. Stories are great but having a picture with it makes it so much more to say. Well let's show you a picture of these Digital Clip Art from Dream Loft.

Pretty Groovy!! LOL Had to put that in there. If you would like to go and see more or Dream Loft's clip art I will give you the link for you. I will give you the link and then from there go to the rest of the store and see all the designer's work.

Now, this is our feature week and not our challenge week. Last week we started the Challenge theme Autumn. You still have a chance to get in on that challenge. You have until the 18th of November at Midnight. For more of the rules of this change just go to http://www.mygraficocrafts.blogspot.com/. Feel free to share these challenges with your friends.

Well let me show you what I made from this clip art. I made a card. I have been trying to think outside of the box but everything I came up with was a card or a scrapbook layout. I do think the card came out great. I love the gemstones.

I hope you all like it. This was a little time consuming but well worth it. Please look at the other Design Team Members Blogs and leave them some LOVE. Have a wonderful week and I will see you next week with a new challenge. Good Luck.

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.



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

http://www.mygrafico.com/build-your-own/build-your-little-farm/prod_5468.html

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.
