MSB Saturday Challenge

2009-06-13T09:00:00.000-04:00

This weeks MSB challenge is to create a #10 card (my card measured 9 X 4 inches finished). I have never actually made a card this size and it was a lot of fun.

I did a lot of stitching and some distressed edges on the card to make it look a little rustic like the image. This image is just gorgeous!!

I colored it with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. Make sure you check out the MSB blog later today for all of the challenge details.

Digi Shack Challenge #9

2009-06-11T07:46:00.000-04:00

What a crazy week for me. I cannot believe how busy I have been now that the kids are out of school.

This week the Digi Shack challenge is a sketch:

And here is my sample:

I decided to use this awesome hat image for this one. I have had it since the store opened and I haven't used it yet and this sketch was perfect for it. I used BO Bunny DP and some Gems to dress up the card. The coloring was done with my prismacolor markers.

We would love for you to join in the challenge. Just create a card using the sketch and post a link to your card at the challenge post at The Digi Shack blog. If you post your card anywhere else, please use keyword TDSC09 so that we can find your creations.

2009-06-10T07:40:00.000-04:00

Happy Hump Day!!! I hope you are all having a great week so far...only a few more days until the weekend and I can't wait.

Well, onto the color dare for today:

This weeks colors are:

Pacific Point

Bashful Blue

Cameo Coral

I used an image that was given to me from my Secret Sister on Splitcoast. She has given me several and I have loved using them all. I colored this image with both my prismacolor pencils and markers. The bottom layers I scored in a diagonal pattern with my Scor-Pal. The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Studio G.

We hope that you join us in the challenge. Just create a card using the color combo and link your card at The Color Dare Blog. If you post your card anywhere else, please you keyword CD20 so that we can find your creations!!

2009-06-08T13:32:00.002-04:00

Modern Sugar Blvd is throwing a BINGO party for this months release. The Bingo Party will be held on Thursday, June 11th at the Modern Sugar BLVD page on PCP (paper craft planet) at 9 pm EST (8 pm CST, 7 pm MST, 6 pm PST) and last until 12 pm EST. Here are the details:

How you Play Virtual Bingo Online:

First, let's define what a "card" is in Virtual Bingo. In regular bingo you get a card with 25 squares and you match up the rows and columns (B1, etc). In virtual bingo, there is not an actual card - it's a LIST of 25 words. You can keep it in LIST form or you can put it in a grid form like a traditional bingo card. However, since it's virtual and you can't see participant's cards - there is no need to worry about getting 5 in a row or anything like that.
The winner is the first person to mark off all 25 words on her "card". It's basically blackout bingo.

1. A List of Bingo Words will be posted at the MSB blog.

2. Participants will be invited to select 25 words from the list to create their Bingo card. It is "virtual" so they just need a list - it doesn't have to be in a particular format at all. Participants can email their list of 25 words at any time but no later than 8:55 pm EST on the night of the release party Bingo. (E-mail address will be listed on the Blog)

3. During the release party, we will chat on the chat board at PCP. The first 5 Bingo words will be called at 9pm EST. And will be continued to be called, 5 words at a time, throughout the evening, about every 15 minutes or so.

4. Also during the release party, Challenges and Questions will be posted in the Conversation area of the PCP page. Some prizes will be given for this - not all questions will have a prize attached but a random winner will be drawn for each challenge and will win their choice of image from the store.

5. Anyone who wants to participate will get one "card" (which is a list of 25 words) for the Bingo. You can earn additional "cards" by shopping at the MSB store anytime during the week. The more "cards" you have, the better chance you have of winning! You can earn an additional "card" by shopping in the store prior to the Bingo party. You will receive an additional card for every $10 you order in images. The bonus "cards" still need to be completed and emailed to the Bingo email by 8:55 EST on the night of the release party Bingo.

6. The first person to yell BINGO on the PCP chat page will win ---- once her "card" has been pulled up and verified. The prize: the entire 6-11 Release!!!

I am so excited because this is going to be a really fun release. So we hope you join us!!

My Father, My Anchor

2009-06-08T13:29:00.003-04:00

This is a father's day card that I made using another fabulous image from The Digi Shack. I kept it pretty simple. I used Barely Banana, Going Gray and Riding Hood Red as my base colors. I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol and then I stitched around the edges. Make sure you head to The Digi Shack to check out all of the fabulous Father's Day Images.

Also, starting tomorrow I will be showing some of the New Lani images that are going to be released on the 15th. They are fabulous...I just know you will love them!!

Here comes the bride....

2009-06-06T14:49:00.001-04:00

Time for another Sugarlicious Saturday challenge from Modern Sugar Blvd. This one is so fun!!!

So you know how it is kind of a tradition when a bride gets married to have the something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue with her when she gets married for good luck...well, this week your card should have the same.

The challenge is to create a "Card Wedding" card with:

Something old - use scraps of ribbon or paper
Something new - use a new image from MSB
Something borrowed - something given to you from a friend
Something blue - obviously, you have to use something blue on your card.

We hope that you will join us in this challenge. All of the details are at the Modern Sugar Blvd Blog Here. And here is my sample:

Card Supplies:

Something old - the darker blue paper is all scraps
something new - the bride image from MSB
Something borrowed - My friend gave me the awesome lace
Something blue - Bashful blue and Brodace Blue
Pearls
Prismacolor markers for coloring
