7/27/10 It's All About The Yummy Cupcakes Queen Kat Designs Blog Hop

Hello Naomi Cupcakes

Hey Everyone:

Welcome to our Tuesday Queen Kat Designs Blog Hop.  The challenge this week was to find a cupcake inspirational piece on the internet and share it with you to see what we used for inspiration.  The stamp set that I used is called Sympathy Sayings.  It is very versatile and I use it often.  I used the nested templates that are brand spankin' new in the store this month on this card.  They are so versatile.  I used the template to make a fancy edge to the left side of my card.  I also used another of the Happy Stixx.  These are so appropriately named because they make me happy.  You should have come to my blog via the lovely Alex's blog.  If you did not, be sure to go back to the beginning and start the hop at the Queen Kat Designs Blog.  You will also be next hopping to the awesome Meredith's blog.  She always has amazing projects up her sleeve.  Don't forget to check out the store for the Happy Stixx and nested templates.

Hugs,
Anita

Upcycling Challenge

This week at LCOM, we are hosting another card challenge for y'all! The goal is to UPCYCLE!
Basically, that means to use (or re-use) items that are not typically thought of as scrapbooking or card-making embellishments -- store tags, packaging, ticket stubs, bottle caps. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
Check out the challenge here at Let's Capture our Memories Blog.

Last month we had a Power Week Challenge and so you know the drill if I tell you that LCOM Card Team brings you another Power Week. We've got not just one, but two challenges for you. You've got the power to choose to do one, two, or a combination. The first challenge is Use Your Stash. Rusha challenged us to use our stash and it has to be older than 2 months...WOW...I'm sure you will find this way difficult....NOT!!!:) The second challenge is an Inspirational Challenge. Dani challenged us to use a household object as your inspiration-the design on a Kleenex box or the colors of a blanket-you name it. You must include a photo of your inspirational piece. So....here's what we did with the challenges! Hope you are inspired and will feel the POWER!!!

7/13/10 Queen Kat Designs Week 2 Sketch Challenge

Hey Everyone:
Hope that you are having a great day.  It is time for another blog hop with Queen Kat Designs, using the sketch above.  I flipped the sketch and used three of my Happy Stixx, which just make me so stinkin' happy.  I am going to order a bunch more.  They are so cute and so fun.  I also used one of Vicki's new nested templates to create the illusion of grass.  You should have come to my blog via the wonderful Alex's blog and should next be going to the wonderful Meredith's blog.  If you did not come here in that way, please go to the Queen Kat Designs blog and start from the beginning.  You will want to see how everyone used their Happy Stixx.  Be sure to check out the store for your own Happy Stixx and nested templates.
Hugs,
Anita

Let's Capture Our Memories Weekly Challenge 7/12/10 Cards for kids

Card Challenge - Cards for Kids
I think we sometimes get into a pattern of making cards in a certain style - it can be quite easy to make cards for other women. Sometimes it's tough to change our thinking and make a card for a kid when the occasion arises. So of course - that's this week's challenge! Let's see some cards for kids. Here's what the card team has created for us this week.

Now it's your turn - we want to see what fun cards you create for the kids in your life. Get your card linked here by Saturday July 17th at 8PM EST. Then winners will be posted here on Sunday the 18th. The winning card creator will receive a Guest DT spot and 15% off their purchase at the LCOM store (one time) with the card team for the week of July 26th.  Be sure to check out the challenge and enter at Let's Capture our Memories.
Hugs,
Anita

7/6/10 Queen Kat Designs Tuesday Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone.  I hope that your fourth of July was amazing.  Guess what?  All of the DT from Queen Kat Designs will now be hopping together on Tuesday's.  Isn't that cool?  I am so excited.  This week's challenge was to work from a sketch.  I used Vicki's new wonderful nested templates to trace and cut out the pattern for the white background paper.  They are so easy and fun to work with and the price is awesome.  Be sure to check out the store.  You should have hopped to me via the wonderful Alex's blog and should next be hopping to my dear friend Meredith's awesome blog.  If you did not come here in that way, make sure that you go to the Queen Kat Designs blog and start the hop there.  You won't want to miss us all together again.  I also used the French Floral background stamp which I embossed with black glitter embossing powder.
Thanks for looking and see you next week.
Hugs,
Anta
