IT'S COLD OUTSIDE CHALLENGE AT SWEET PEA STAMPERS

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all having a great Friday.  I am a bit late in posting today as I had to run to the grocery early due to snow and my kids school was cancelled today due to weather so they have obviously been home all day.  We did get all our interior Christmas decorations put up, so that was good.  However, just a bit ago, my older son rolled a Gatorade across the floor to my younger son and wound up hitting him in the face and splitting his eyebrow, so my hubby had to take younger son to Urgent Care in this horrid weather - ugh!

Anyway, we have a new challenge for you today at SWEET PEA STAMPERS and it is IT'S COLD OUTSIDE - which is very fitting since it's very cold here!  Hope you will come join us!  In case you forgot, here are our rules:

  • If you use a Sweet Pea Stamps image you will be entered into a second draw to win one digital stamp. The Design Team for that fortnight will pick their favourite card/project using a Sweet Pea Stamps image. 
  • Please do not enter the challenge more than 3 times.
So, what are you waiting for, come on and join us!!


My card today features this wonderful digi image from SWEET PEA STAMPS Conie Fong's Snowy Digi.  I have colored image with Copics and Sakura glaze pens, cut with Lifestyle Crafts die and added Stickles.  DP is fron JillieBean Soup and CS is from Bazzill.   Snowflake is from my stash, sentiment is from MFT and cut with Nestie.   Square die cuts are also Nesties.   Sure hope you like it and will come play along!!

First of all, I am super excited to announce that I have been accepted to be part of the WHIMSY STAMPS Digital DT for the term beginning January 2014!  Woo hoo, I am so thrilled as I love all the fabulous digital images in the WHIMSY STAMPS shop and I can't wait to share them with you in the coming months.

As an added perk of joining the Digital DT, I get to play along in the 24 Days of Christmas Event happening NOW at the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG!

http://whimsystamps.blogspot.com/

Every day from 1st to 24th December, a member, or members, of the design team will be sharing a brand new Whimsy holiday creation on the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG.   Included in the daily posts will be a LETTER. Visit WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG every day from Dec. 1-24, make a note of each letter and keep them safe. Once you have collected all 24 letters, you should be able to unscramble them and make a 4 word phrase. Email your phrase to whimsystampscontests@gmail.com by 31st December 2013, and if you've guessed correctly, you will be entered into the draw to win a fantastic GRAND PRIZE!

But that's not all! We will also be running some fun SPOT PRIZES throughout the entire event. The prizes could be hidden on the WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG or on design team member's blogs, so be sure to leave a comment at WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG and on our DT's blog posts each day to be in with a chance to win!  Have fun:)

My creation today features this fabulous digital image Little Christmas Angel from Crissy's Digis at WHIMSY STAMPS.  I have colored Little Christmas Angel with Copics and cut out with Taylored Expressions dies.  I found this awesome old Basic Grey DP in my stash, which I think fits perfectly with this darling angel.  I used CS from SU and a sticker from K and Co.  Sentiment is from MFT and cut with Nestie.  Sure hope you have enjoyed visiting today and enjoy the rest of the 24 Days of Christmas Event at WHIMSY STAMPS INSPIRATION BLOG!
