Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #71 - Have A Heart

Hello fellow crafters!  I hope you are ready for another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog. For the next 2 weeks we want to see projects that at least have one heart on them.  Remember there must be some stamping on your project, either rubber/clear and/or digital.

Here's our three wonderful sponsors for this challenge.

The winner will receive 3 images.

The winner will receive $25 gift certificate.

The winner will receive 3 images.

For this challenge I used the sponsor image from River City Rubber Works called Bear Friends.  This is such a cute image.  When I was younger I collected bears and so did my best friend, so this image has great meaning to me.  As you can see, my heart is attached to the bow.

The image was colored with my color pencils.

Here's the inside.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Blog Hop LTSCB

Some parts of the world are experiencing cold weather and some are experiencing warm weather. Kinda scrambled, wouldn't you say?! The Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog is excited to bring you our "It's A Scramble" Blog Hop! We're being sponsored by the awesome River City Rubber Works! Come hop with us for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to their online store!

As you hop, collect letters at each stop and be sure to leave each designer some love. Once you have collected all the letters, unscramble them and email your guess to ltscb@mail.com - then all the correct guesses will be entered into the drawing for the River City Rubber Works gift certificate!

All of the LTSCB designers are creating Anything Goes inspiration projects. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up an Anything Goes project for an EXTRA entry into the drawing! **Be sure to use the same email address to email your guess and to link up your project so we can make sure you're given two entries into the drawing!**

Please note that even though this is an Anything Goes challenge, our normal rules apply. :)

I used the sponsor image Sled.  I decided to do a vintage type card with this image.  I remember almost killing ourselves on a sled like this, and an inter tube, plastic sleds, car door...etc.  If the hill was big enough, it was going to be fun. The image was colored with my color pencils.   I did add a pop of red twine to give it some color. 

Here's the inside.

Blog Hop - NO RULZ

All of the LTSCB designers are creating Anything Goes inspiration projects for our blog hop. Everyone participating in the blog hop is invited to link up a 'No Rulz' project for extra entry/entries into the drawing! No rules for this challenge!

I used River City Rubber Works image Gas Station.  They have both rubber and digital in this image.  

For this challenge I decided to do an altered sketchbook.  Even though the book was a hardcover, I still covered it with designer paper.  Of course it wouldn't be manly without some metal...lots of metal pieces.  The clip on top is hanging by twine and connected underneath dp on the inside of the cover.  I thought it would be better not to fix it on the front, but to dangle.  I colored the image using my Prismacolor pencils.  

Here is the line-up:

Ann
Annette
Aunty Sue
Brenda
Cristina
Heather
Julie

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #46 Anything Goes

I'm loving this warm weather in January, it's 60 today and beautiful.  I know you will love our next challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, it's Anything Goes.  Remember we like to see stamping (rubber, clear or digital) on your projects.

If the "Anything Goes" theme is not enough, we also have 3 wonderful sponsors for this challenge. Now, that's amazing :o)

Not only is this sponsor giving the winner 3 images, but is also offering 30% off to any participant that wants to purchase the same DT image that was used for this challenge.

The winner will recieve a $25 gift certificate.

Another great favorite, the winner will recieve 7 images.

All our sponsors are fabulous and generous.  Thank you sponsors :o)

I got to work with River City Rubber Works.  They were generous in allowing me to work with the digital set, Hopping Set.  There was such a great variety in this set that I decided to do 3 cards to show off some of the images.  (There are still more to work with, if you can image that.)

Every image you have a choice in coloring yourself or using their precolored image.  I colored the images with my watercolor and regular color pencils.  My first card, I couldn't resist the bunnies and made a Easter card.  Both of the sentiments come with the set and the carrots.  

Here's the inside.

Next, I used the crow images.  I thought this could be a cute card to write home about what's going on, especially with the sentiment I have choosen.

Here's the inside Something to Crow About card.

The last card is this cute little frog.  I couldn't say no to the frog...and the funny sentiment.

He might become an invite to some friends to come over for dinner.....lol.

Here's the inside of Taste Like Chicken.

Hopefully this set has inspired you and remember there are a lot more images and sentiments I didn't create with.  

thanks for looking and reading :o)
