Hello friends!  So happy to be here with you as a guest designer for this challenge!  I have been crafting with rubber stamps for several years and really enjoy the therapy that it can provide in my life.  My favorite craft medium is to color with my Copic markers.  I would be delighted if you'd like to stop by my Stamp Smiles blog so that I can share a smile with you! :-)   Thanks for much for having me here with you and I hope you'll join in the challenge with us!

 

Remember, there's still time to play along with our challenge this week, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!

ABC40 'SIP' Stamps, Ink, Paper

Hi everyone!  We have a fun challenge for you this week and we hope you can play along.  This week's challenge reminds me of when I first began stamping and I didn't have a very many supplies to work with, so lets see what you can create using just:  stamps, ink, and paper!

ABC40 'SIP' Stamps, Ink, Paper

 

SIP is a well-known acronym used in paper crafting when we want to focus on keeping things simple.  SIP stands for:  Stamps, Ink, Paper.  This week we are creating cards using only Stamps, Ink and Paper. You can use pattern paper too.

Don't have a blog?  No problem, we will visit your online gallery; simply use the keywords ABC40 for this challenge.

We hope you can come play along with us for this week's challenge to 'Use Up Scraps'.  Laine had some wonderful ideas for using up some paper scraps, she used them in her die cuts, to create her panels, the fence, punched borders and these are just a few wonderful examples!  Thank you so much, Laine!  Your card is just perfect, I love the design, and I am amazed at how beautiful your coloring is.

Hello to everyone.

I am so delighted and honoured to join ABC Challenges as GDT for this Challenge.

Thank you so much for this fabulous opportunity.

I have turned into a compulsive card maker over the last few years.

I love to design and make cards.

It's a wonderful past-time and has opened up so many new avenues for me and I have made some wonderful crafty friends.

Hugs to all from,

Laine
