I hate to give a gift in a plain bag but sometimes I don’t have a choice. If you have some spare time or have some colored images waiting for a card front or other project, put them on a plain bag! Here’s a cute bunny just in time for an upcoming birthday gift.

Back to School Blog Hop!

andreasscraps — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:01:50 +0000

Hello blog hoppers!

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop! It officially starts at Michelle Perkett Studios Challenge Blog but if this is your first stop, just hop along the list of blogs until you end up back here!

What are you searching for you ask? There are 9 letters out there that will spell a secret word! There is 1 blog that has a letter that you will use twice. Don’t worry, she’ll let you know that you’ll need to do that when you get there!

We have a hint for you: it’s a School Subject!

As soon you collect the letters and unscramble them so that you know the word, go to one of the Communities: Paper Craft Planet, Crafter’s Digital Art Center, SNR-The Card Universe and send Michelle a personal message with the word in it. Don’t forget to include your email address in your email to Michelle! She needs to know how to contact you if you win!

If you’re not a member of one of those Communities, you can join any one of them for free. If you get a message saying you can’t email Michelle until you’re friends with her, just ask to be friends and she’ll respond as soon as she can. You’ll be able to then send her a message. You only need to send her a message from ONE of the Communities mentioned above.

The challenge starts today, August 24th and ends Monday, August 30th, 2010 at 5:00 PM MST.

Want to know the great news? There will be 2 (TWO) winners!! They will be announced on Tuesday, August 31st on the Challenge Blog!

Here is a card to give you a hint on what the letter is that I have for you:

Supplies:
Michelle Perkett Studio Stella the Summer Storyteller Digi Stamp
Copic Markers
P K Glitz Sticky Paper and Glitter
Spellbinders dies
Scenic Route DP
Michael’s Ribbon
CPS Sketch #181

So, there’s a couple hints in my card —— I have a lot of Red and Stella is Reading right?

My letter is “R”, so write it down while you collect the others and away you go to finding the right word!

Sorry for the brief hiatus! I am back now for the time being. You’ll see a lot of movement on the blog again – posting, challenges, blog hops and projects!

I made the Michelle Perkett Studio Design Team! I was first introduced to her wonderful art from Heather at Faerie Song Art Stamps. She made some of Michelle’s wonderful faeries into rubber stamps. Well, I found Michelle on some of the Digi Stamp sites and found a whole pile of other images that are absolutely beautiful. She just happened to be having a DT call, so I tried and got on! Woohoo!!

Every week, I’ll be posting 2 projects using Michelle’s rubber and digi stamps. There’s a weekly challenge that you may want to get in on to win some images too! Check out Michelle’s challenge blog to see what’s currently underway. Come back tomorrow to see a new challenge starting that I’ll be participating in!
