Card of the Week & Fab 5!

I am sure most of you are aware that I am in California attending CHA (The Craft and Hobby Association Convention). It is so overwhelmingly amazing and huge, that describing it here could never do it justice. The new products and lines being released by some of our favorite companies over the next few months are so gorgeous and the best part is that we get to see them on your cards very very soon.

I wish I had more time to comment on our own amazing gallery this week but things have been super crazy (in a good way) during this trip. I did manage to see each and every one of your cards even though I may not have commented on them all. Thank you so much to our wonderful sponsor: Starving Artistamps, for their generous sponsorship - we love working with their fantastic assortment of stamps. This week the Card of the Week will win their own set of Starving Artistamps

I love this card and it's cheeky simplicity. The balance of color is perfect and so is the hint of texture in the grass. Heather's blog, Witty Title Here, is sooo cute and filled to the brim with tons of inspiration. Heather please email us your addy so that we can get your goodies off to you.

This is the last week leading up to CHA and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to be attending this year. I cannot wait to see the new releases from some of my favorite companies and also to see the latest trends for the new year. Most of all I am looking forward to meeting many of you attending CHA. Please stop by the Spellbinders Booth to say a quick hello if you get a chance :)

This week the 2S4Y DT worked with the uber gorgeous stamps from Starving Artistamps. Most of the time all of the DT cards are very different however this week Sarah and I were on the same wave length and sending each other good karma vibes...see for yourself further down down this post. I hope you enjoy the inspiration we have for you this week and that it gets you in the mood to be super crafty!

Also thank you to our dear sponsor The Cutting Cafe' their digital stamps are always so much fun to work with!

The Cutting Cafe'

This week we welcome back The Cutting Cafe' as our sponsor for the week. Here is a little info about The Cutting Cafe' for those of you joining us for the first time: The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and cutting files to crafters, scrapbookers, and cardmakers. The cutting files are templates that you print out (using your home printer) cut, assemble and then embellish! The format of the cutting files can be used on Die-Cut machines like Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software) and are very easy to use, versatile and fun too.

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 color them in or paper piece them like you would any other stamped image!

One of the best things about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you don't have to worry about finding space in your craft rooms to store them... Simply keep them in a folder on your computer to use over and over again!

This week the lucky winner of Card of the Week will win 5 images of her choice from In Style Stamps.  Please join me in congratulating..

Card of the Week

Wilma

This has to be one of my favorite cards of Wilma's that she has submitted to our Challenges.  I love how the colors all flow effortlessly and the repetition of the lace trim.  It is however, those delicate leaves and foliage behind the flowers that really caught my eye - I think the person receiving this card will treasure it for a very long time.  Although Wilma's blog is written in dutch our English readers will still appreciate her range of craftiness - everything from Cards, Scrapbooking and CAKE DECORATING!  I love it!  Take a look for yourself here:

Wollie's World

Congrats Wilma- email me your details and I will get you in touch with Instyle Stamps to claim your prize.

Whoot-Whoot we are heading into the second week of 2010 and it is fabulous. I have a feeling this year will be filled with so many exciting events for all of us. We hope to share them with you along the way as together we embark on another year of pure fun and excitement.

One of my New Year resolutions is to step up the creativity and it seems this week it was easy to do just that while working with InStyle Stamps. These super cute digital stamps are really fun to use - just print them out and color away :) I think you will agree that our Design Team did some stepping up of their own as they worked with their InStyle digital stamps:
