Stamped with Love

We want to see your favorite Tim Holtz stamps! It could be an oldie but goody or an image from his new summer of Halloween releases. Look through your collection of Tim Holtz stamps - old and new - and choose one of your favorites to create whatever you imagine with it. Your entry could be a card, a vignette, a layout, or something even more amazing!

Chillin' in the Heat Challenge

It's the last days of Summer before School begins. What's your favorite part: the heat of the sunshine and lying by the pool or on the beach... or keeping cool in the water, and loading up on cold lemonade in the shade? Let's see a make of your choice with either HOT design using warm colors (red, orange, yellow. etc) or COOL design using cool colors (blues and greens). Use anything at your will to dress up your design and compliment your idea of the perfect degree!

Scotch It Is!

This Funkie Junkie Boutique challenge is from Suzz: "I googled what July 27th is and it came up as National Scotch Day. Why not be inspired by Scotch? I am going to take great liberties with this and say you can be inspired by Scotch in any way you want to interpret it, including and not limited to: tape, plaid, liquor, or any way you are inspired by the word Scotch. Make sure to share with us how you were inspired!"

Moving Parts

Lisa has a fun challenge to entertain us all in the heat. Life can be busy and complicated with lots of moving parts. Sometimes we need to get really creative to make it all work! We would like to see you get creative with this theme and either treat it as a metaphor for something happening in your life or you can literally make parts that move as part of your project. Get crafty!

The Music of Life

Music is a big part of our lives, whether we're making the music or we're part of the audience. Music can be as formal as a symphonic concert, as nostalgic as listening to your favorite album from years past, as tender as singing a lullaby to a child, or as simple and fresh as the birds singing outside your window. Your mission for our new challenge is to create a project with a musical theme!

Sunday In The Park

Weather-wise, you might not be spending time outside in the park, but we've all got memories of playing in one! Get out your stamps, dies, mixed media, or embellishments that remind you of what you might see on a beautiful sunny day in the park. Make a Tag, Panel, or even a 3D project, & bring the outdoors into your craft space!
