Featured Stamper #222

Good morning, everyone!  It's time to announce the Featured Stamper for challenge #222.  Drumroll, please.......

Random.org chose # 14, and that's Nelly's Handmade:

Isn't it cute?  I love that she used the same little snowman that I did!  Nelly, please email me at bronih AT truvista DOT net, and I'll send you the Featured Stamper #222 badge for your blog.

Now here are some that caught my eye:

#12 - Monika

#13 - Betty

#16 - Shelly

Thanks so much to everyone who played along with us this week!  We all hope you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Color Throwdown #222

Hey there!  It’s Broni and I’m your host for this week’s challenge. 

 

Let me start by saying that this will be our last challenge until after the first of the new year.  We need a break for the holidays too, you know!  But please don’t let that stop you from playing along with us this week!  I’ll still choose a Featured Stamper and my favorites, and post them next Tuesday, Dec. 18.

On to the challenge!

I love this photo of the sunset taken through the glass, don’t you?  The photo and the colors remind me of the beach, but I decided to make a winter card instead!

The rules for the challenge are simple….Make a paper-crafted project using these colors or something very similar.  Post your creation on your blog or online gallery using the code CTD222.  Give us a direct link to the card post through the inLinkz tool at the end of this post.  (All the details are in the right hand column.)

On to some inspiration from my fabulously talented CTD sisters:

Featured Stamper #221

Hi, everyone, and thanks so much to all of you who played along last week! We appreciate each and every one of you and I saw some gorgeous cards linked up!

It's time to announce this week's Featured Stamper, so without further ado, and with the help of Random.org, I'm happy to announce that (drum roll, please!) this week's Featured Stamper is...

Kim of Kim - Luv Flowers!! Here's Kim's card, isn't it just beautiful!? Congratulations, Kim! Thanks so much for playing! Shoot me an email at barcat [at] embarqmail [dot] com and I'll send you your Featured Stamper blinkie. Thanks again for playing--your card just sings Christmas!

A couple of other cards caught my eye this week. Here they are, in no particular order:
1. Jenny Engelke - Music always gets me and that Peace die cut on top of it was icing on the cake!
2. Jen Mitchell - Fabulous CAS card!
3. KalySto - I canNOT do round cards and I'm in awe of anyone who can. Kalysto obviously can. Awesome.

And that's all from me today! Miss Broni will be back tomorrow with the last challenge of 2012. We're taking the next two weeks off but will be back on January 2, 2013 with the first challenge of 2013. Broni has a fabulous color combo for you so be sure to stop back and play!

Thanks again to everyone who played last week!

Color Throwdown #221

Hi, everyone! Barbara here with this week's challenge. I couldn't let us get this close to Christmas and NOT have a traditional Christmas color combo now, could I?

Yep, he's watching, so you'd better be good and play along with week ;-) As always, if you don't have the exact colors, no sweat, just use the closest colors you have--it's all about the fun, right? After you create your project, add the direct link to you blog post to the linky thingy we have below. And, if you upload to an online gallery, please use the keyword CTD221. The challenge rules are provided on the sidebar, if you have any questions.

Now, how's about a little inspiration from our amazing design team? We're happy to announce December's Guest Designer is Miriam Napier! Please join us in welcoming Miriam--we can't wait to see what she has to share with us!

Color Throwdown #219

Hello Throwdown fans!  Today it's my turn to host the challenge, and I guess I'm just partial to aqua tones because as soon as I saw this photo, I just knew I wanted to use it for today's challenge.  I hope you'll love these colors as much as I do.  Feel free to substitute silver for the grey if you want to... you'll see several of our designers took that approach today!  :)

As always, if you don’t have the exact colors, it’s no problem. Substitute with what you have that’s close to this week’s colors. Once you’ve finished your card or paper project using the colors, add a direct link to your creation using the linky tool we’ve provided below. And, don’t forget to use the keyword CTD219 when you upload your project to an online gallery.  If you have any questions you can find all the challenge rules in the right sidebar here on our blog.

Before you head off to create, here’s some inspiration from our talented team to get you started.
