Fabulous Friday Challenge

Friday, December 10, 2010

Welcome back to another Fabulous Friday Challenge! This week, we are challenging you to use ribbon on your card, layout or project! Ribbon! How simple is that?!
We would like to welcome a new sponsor.... The Cutting Cafe!


Meet Regina....

Hello my name is Regina Easter. I have 4 wonderful children and an awesome supportive husband. I have for as long as I can remember loved all the aspects of creating things with paper and drawing. So it was only fitting that I decided to open up The Cutting Cafe' and I am loving every bit of this new venture. The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software). The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.


We are so excited to have the Cutting Cafe sponsor our Challenge this week. The winner, chosen by random will win 3 sets of their choice from the Cutting Cafe! And... you need to know that when we say sets... we mean sets!! There are several stamps in each set! This is a prize you are going to want to win!

Let's see what our design team did for you this week....



Joni said, "When my 7 year old son saw these digi's he thought they were sooo funny...so a project is born.  We used the "Snowman Poop" digi tag matted in red and attached with some pretty red grosgrain ribbon for this week's challenge!!  We also used the "Snowflakes" digis and cut them out.   We used old embellishment packaging (put the snowflakes on the inside) and added Stickles/glitter to a Maya Road Chipboard Snowflake to the outside and have these cute little gifts for Grandparents!!!"

Cassie used several types of ribbon to create this altered canvas.  It is a Hanukkah gift for a friend.

Barb

Barb used the Cutting Cafe's Christmas digi set to complete this layout. All of the patterned papers and digi stamps are from this set! (Including that cute little owl in the bottom corner!)

Angela


Angela said, "I needed a little gift for a ten year old boy and what better than SNOWMAN POOP! I absolutely LOVED these digis from THE CUTTING CAFE!
I filled a glass jar with marshmallows and attached the tag (expaining! lol) made a little label and snowman to attach and voila! My little friend thought is was the best and funniest gift he had received! So many possibilities! loved this set!"


Crystal used ribbon to tie a bow on the flap of her pocket card. She inked it a tad to give it since it was too bright. She used the snowman and the I miss ya SNOW much from Regina's Fun with Frosty set. SNOW has black dimensional glaze along with the eyes and buttons of the snowman (she added those to the image). The snowman's hat has snow writer on it for some more dimension.


Jessica used a piece of ribbon to add a color accent to her ornament!





Kim used our sponsor images, Frosty the Snowman from Cutting Cafe. She also used two different ribbons on this Snowman Soup gift. The ribbon at the top of the container was white and she inked it to match her Cutting Cafe background paper.

Esther used ribbon to help frame in her photos.

We hope these projects get you inspired to try using ribbon on your cards, layouts and projects! Be sure to link up your project for your chance to win the digi sets from the Cutting Cafe!

Fabulous Friday Challenge

Friday, November 12, 2010

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday Challenge!! With Thanksgiving right around the corner we thought it would be appropriate to sit back, reflect and create about something or someone we are thankful for.
But... there is a catch! This week is a Word Challenge... and the words we are looking for are THANKS or THANKFUL!! You need to include one of these words or a form of it in your card, layout or project this week. How easy is that?!! By showing us the things you are most thankful for, you have a chance to win this fabulous prize package from our sponsor, Purple Pumpkin!

Do you like this package? Well... you have to play to win!! This is the last week to be put in the drawing for this prize!!

Now... let's look at what our design team did for this challenge...

Debbie made this card for her mother for Thanksgiving, using paper by Teresa Collins and a beautiful flower by Maya Road. 


Gulnara For this card Gulnara has chosen a paper of strict, noble colors, but the thin translucent fabric added tenderness, after all the card should convey the warmest feelings of gratitude!

Esther
Esther used the word Thankful as part of her title. She also included all the names of the people in her family that she is thankful for!

DianaDiana searched deep into her stash to find these pp by Creative Imaginations she's had for over 4 years and the prima flourish and flowers, to showcase this photo of her mother and 8 of her 11 grandkid and 2 great grandkids.

Kim
For this word challenge, Kim wanted to create a picture frame to display at Thanksgiving. She is most thankful for her little niece and nephew. She used a $4 5 X 7 picture frame from the dollar store and some scraps of Wild Saffron papers.
First, she attached the papers around the frame, then added some flowers, buttons, and butterflies. She inked the chipboard letters and finished those off with bling and bits of ribbon.

Cassie created a thank you card using a Stampin' Up stamp.

Jessica
Jessica kept her card simple and added detail by stamping flourishes around the "thank you" sentiment.

Well... we hope you are inspired to make something to reflect how thankful you are!! Be sure to link up your project by Thursday for a chance to win our prize from Purple Pumpkin!!

We spent this past week introducing you to our new team... now it is time to show you their work!

Joni



















Joni made this cute little jar using an old pickle jar...just wrapped pattterned paper around to cover the parts of the label she couldn't get removed.  A package of stickers and a ribbon....  now, what to fill it with??  The possiblities are endless...    


Diana made these treat boxes for her DD Kindergarten class. She is putting a cupcake in each of them and adhering with a clue dot to the bottom of the cupcake wrapper so that the cupcake stay put. She used MS pp pad and K & Company Halloween die cuts.

Cassie used a Purple Panda digital stamp to create treat cups, cupcake flags and dish I.D. tags for her upcoming Halloween party.


Gulnara wanted to do a layout about her child enjoying the holiday treats! This is the story, named "What happens when time for Holiday Treats comes")))
Libeeti made this lo about her family tradition to give the kids nuts on Passover, after the the formal feast, so they can play with them. In the photo, young Libeeti is holding the bag with the nuts. Libeeti said that they were thrilled to get those nuts and play with them all night, while the grown-ups set and had their talks, till bed time. The title is a line from a Passover's
    song, and it says: My pockets are filled with nuts

Side view of the pretty glass jar.
Kim used the Purple Panda rip image to create a creepy tag for her husband's Halloween treat jar. She filled a jar full of Hershey Nuggets with almonds, one of his faves. She colored up the rip image and and attached to some creepy dp.
This is the top view of her candy jar. She used a felt embellishment and some Halloween trim to finish off the treat.


Jessica altered a clean, recycled glass gravy jar into a perfect little gift giving container. She wrapped two layers of coordinating scalloped cardstock around the base of the jar, then topped with a strip of Bo Bunny Olivia paper. To hide the seam in the Bo Bunny paper, she cut out similar flowers from the scraps and popped them up using foam pop dots. She wound a length of 1-1/2" wide satin for the bow, tucking it under the large flower for a seamless transition.

For the lid, Jessica traced the top of the lid onto the reverse side of the same Olivia paper (which can be seen on the reverse of the jar band when the jar is opened). She wrapped the side of the lid in satin ribbon that she pleated using dots of hot glue to hold down the pleats. Everything on this jar was adhered using hot glue.


Since this jar can't be washed, it will be filled with wrapped candy and small gift items for her kiddo's teachers. That way, they can reuse this container for treats of their own when they've gone through the goodies it will come with!

Esther

Esther got out her Cricut machine to create this adorable layout! She used the Winter Frolic cart for the title and Create a Critter for the penguin!!Barb


Barb whipped together some yummy Halloween treats to send to her daughters at college! She wrapped their favorite candy bars with cute patterned paper and added some fun embellies. She also made a card as well as a "matchbook" to hold their gift cards!

Pat made this adorable Advent Calendar! Would you like to know how she did it? You might just want to check back Sunday!!

Angela
And now... we are going to leave you with a card that the lovely
Angela made using a Purple Panda Designs digi!!
Isn't it beautiful? You could win this digi for yourself! All you have to do is play along!!

WOW!! That is a lot of inspiration!! Now we would love to see what you can do!! Share your holiday treats with us!!
