Challenge #92 - Winter Sports

Welcome to our 2nd challenge in November...our Winter Sports Challenge.  Time to break out your favorite images of all things winter sports related and create a project.  Skating, sledding or skiing?  What is your favorite winter sport?  Mine might be drinking hot cocoa, watching skating, and scrapping, but I'm still a Southern California girl at heart.  :-D  I'm simply in love with all the fun Winter Sports cards and pages our Design Team created.  We can't wait to see yours too.  Since there are 5 Mondays in November, you will actually have an extra week (or until Dec 5th) to link your projects up with us.
Cheers! ~Kristy


Thanks again to our guest designer for the month of November -- 

I'm Lisa and I'm from the place where we have the weirdest weather in the country, Michigan!  Only here can you freeze one day and be sweltering the next!  I sometimes do use weather as the inspiration for my work, though most of it comes from music.  I'm a huge pop music fan but mostly 90s and 2000s, especially the boy band era.  I've been crafting since I was a child--I actually really don't ever remember NOT crafting!  My mom did craft shows and I would help her get the stuff ready and before I knew it I was making things myself.  Stamping is my first crafty love so I'm primarily a card maker though I do a bit of mixed media and jewelry making as well.

Challenge #91 - Stamps

It's November and time for challenge #91.
Amber here and this time I've chosen our challenge to be all about STAMPS. 
Pull out your rubber, photopolymer, and/or acrylic stamps. No digital images. Just a real life, hold-it-in-your-hand stamp and some ink!

Here is a tag I created using lots of stamps:

I'm so in love with these Prima doll stamps and was recently rewatching the live action Cinderella movie and as she danced around the ballroom, I remembered the director talking about her dress being so heavy because it was layer after layer of tulle and stones and I thought, what an amazing tag that would be! The chandelier represents the ballroom Cinderella danced in.


And now for the rest of the Design Team:
