My Final SSDS Challenge :(

Today is my final post for Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays.  Our DT term is up.  (Sniff)  I would like to thank Regina for the wonderful opportunity she has given me!  She is a doll to work with, and I will miss the rest of the team immensely as well!

This week we are looking for some kind of stitching on your project.  Our sponsor is Paper Cupcakes, who has kindly donated 2 free digis of the winner's choice!  Be sure to check them out!

For my project I have made a mini backpack.  You can find the template for it here.  The only modification I made to the directions was to stitch with my sewing machine before I added all the brads.  Well, my sewing has improved somewhat, but I still have a long way to go!

I have entered this project into these challenges:

Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Cute
Make it Crafty - anything goes
Cowgirl's Sunday - Hip not to be square
Charisma Cardz - anything goes
Cooking it up with Katie -  Sweet, Metal, Ribbon


Don't forget to come over to SSDS and show us your stitching!

Let's Ink It Up - Challenge #3

Hello, here's my second post today! Yes, weekend's are busy around here! lol Today's challenge at Let's Ink It Up is to use your favorite stamp with the twist being to use a charm.

I have to say this was a stretch for me, because I haven't ever used a charm! I love being on design teams, they challenge you to try new stuff all the time! :)

Ok, so you know our challenge, but here's the sponsor: Caroline's Rubber Stamps! Caroline has donated a voucher for £20! Here's what Caroline has to say:

I have been designing rubber stamps for well over 20 years and have written for many magazines over that time. I live in Liverpool with husband and son...my daughter left home about a year ago.

As well as stamping and crafting I enjoy gardening (when it's not raining) and oil painting. I have recently started designing digistamps. I am looking forward to sponsoring the challenges and to seeing all your artwork.

Make sure you head on over and check out her stamps and get some shopping in!

So you know our challenge and our sponsor, now what did I make?! Well like I said this is a bit of a stretch for me to use a charm, and how do you use a grass stamp with a charm? This is what I came up with!

Not too shabby huh?! The papers are scraps, but I'm pretty sure they're from Stampin' Up. The grass stamp is from the Stampin' Up set Inspired by Nature. The sentiment is from Stampscapes.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and come play at Let's Ink It Up!

Oh yeah! Forgot again! I'm entering these challenges:

Creative Card Crew - Autumn/Fall

Stampin Royalty - stitching (mine is faux, hope that's ok!)
