It's a Crafty Giveaway

Edited: WINNER OF THIS CRAFTY GIVEAWAY: @creativecarmen61 from Instagram

Happy August, friends! Can you even believe it's August? I swear time is flying the older I get. But I'm still planning to squeeze some more summer fun in.

I haven't done a giveaway in awhile and I just won a ridiculous amount of beautiful sequins from Kat Scrappiness, so I'm sharing the wealth. There are tons of gorgeous and fun sequins, a few stamp sets, some adhesive and flowers in the package. You can leave a comment here and/or over on Instagram to enter.

I made this galaxy background, then wrote on silver Chrome Molotow marker. I love that shiny marker! Here are some close-ups of the goodies you could win!

See those little pawprints? So cute and great for a pet shaker card. The giveaway runs through August 8 and a winner will be announced here and on IG. The package is US only, but if you win without a US mailing address, I'll send you a $10 gift certificate to Kat Scrappiness.

Happy Friday!

Digi Duel at a2z Scrapbooking

Hi, friends, I have a card up today on the a2z Scrapbooking blog as part of our monthly Digi Duel, where two team members use the same digital of the month to create two different projects. I'm dueling with Arlene this month. You can click here to see both projects and our supplies.

Here's a peek at my card.

Hope you'll join in the Flower Power Challenge at a2z for a chance to win this digital stamp set and more!

Happy Wednesday!

Hero Arts Shopping Bag Die in Pink

Hi, friends, I have a card up on the a2z Scrapbooking blog today where we're announcing the new August Challenge, Bright and Beautiful, with lots of inspiration. For this challenge, I added sequins and Stickles glitter glue in Diamond and a gold foil heart sticker.

I used the Hero Arts 3-D Shopping Bag die with some Doodlebug Designs Cream and Sugar paper. I inked some Woodgrain Vellum with pink ink and inserted it into the dimensional bag.You can add money or a gift card too, to this adorable bag. The background has an oval cut into another sheet of the Cream and Sugar paper, outlined in Stickles. Behind the oval I added more of the Woodgrain Vellum paper but left it white. 

Hop over and say hi or hop over to the a2z Scrapbooking store and get your own 3-D Shopping Bag die. If you have $25 or more in your cart, you can apply a 15% off code when you check out, just type in CHARK15. It even applies to the sales and clearance items (and there's a lot since it's clearing out time!)

Happy Tuesday!

Day For Daisies

I love A Day For Daisies digital stamps and entered their August challenge here. The challenge was sequins and since I'm all about the sparkle, well, I had to enter. With just an hour to spare...yes, I'm a procrastinator. Actually, I saw Kelly Latevola's design team entry recently on her blog and had to join in.

I actually restrained my sequin and glitter use to highlight this gorgeous digi stamp. Here's the close up. I also used a very light watercolor wash. I decided her hair should be lovely colors like her dress, and like a lot of my daughter's friends :)

You have to check out these stamps and notice their quality and price ($4 and under.) She even has freebies occasionally. I have a mermaid and some other delicate ladies and just love them. They have kids, animals, books and tons of other categories.

Happy Thursday!
