Tuesday Teaser - ISSC30

I spy a fantastic use for scrap paper! This card will be ideal for scraps of paper or even some of that fabulous washi tape that is all the craze, and it's a hint of what is to come  for the upcoming ISSC30 sketch. We can't wait to see what you guys put together for this sketch :D


While you are here peeking at this Teaser, if you would like to play along with the current challenge, there is lots of time to play along still and you can join us over at this post :)

Top 2 Winners for ISSC28

Hi everyone! It's time to announce some Winners! Last week's entries for the ISSC28 challenge were fabulous you guys! There was a lovely assortment of festive Christmas cards and some wonderful Masculine Cards as well. I love it when you guys take the sketch and run with it! :D

Onto our Top 2 Winners!...

 Stephanie Severin

First of all...can you believe that these are stickers? Wow! Stickers sure have come a long way since my childhood sticker books with scratch and sniff stickers in them! Oh, I'm dating myself *blush* Anyhoo, look at this gorgeous card with STICKERS! I adore the colours that Stephanie chose and I especially like the "Sushi" word treatment down the edge of the fishtail banner, oh and that lantern is pretty darn cute too! Love it all Stephanie!

 

 

 

 Joan Ervin

Next up is Joan's gorgeous felt embellishment card. I love how she took her colour inspiration from the rich ribbon and applied it to an all white base so that the colours really stand out. And would you look at that figure 8 twine treatment? Who'd a thunk that it would pack such a pleasing punch? Beautiful card Joan and thanks for inspiring us to try new things with twine!

 

Congratulations ladies! Please feel free to grab your blog badge by right clicking on it and saving it to your computer :)  

 

 

If you would like to play along with the current ISSC29 challenge then please pop on by this post as this is another fun sketch! Thanks for participating in our challenges and we can't wait to see what you come up with next week :D

ISSC29 with Renee Matarese

WOWEE!!! It's been a hot week here on the West Coast and I think we're ready for a cool down.  We're not complaining but wow, it's hot!! LOL!! I guess we should expect that in the summer. 

This week's sketch is from Renee Matarese ( Renlymat @ SCS) and is based on this card.

Isn't it fabulous?? Love it!!!

Top 2 Winners for ISSC27

 

 It's another sunny Sunday and everyone knows what that means right? It's time to announce the winners of the  ISSC27 sketch! There was some incredible cards entered and as usual you guys make it tough to pick just two!

 

Here we go with your Top 2 Winners:

 

 

 Nancy Seed

Just the other day, I was outside thinking to myself that it was starting to feel like September and this card brings it right home for me! I love the fall and not only is this card crisp, clean and simple but it's also elegant with these gorgeous die cut leaves made with sheet music :) Nancy, this is gorgeous!

 Rose Miller

As I was browsing through the entries this card really called to my love of bold colours! The primary colours against the white really stood out and when I got a closer look at the card, I couldn't help but smile! The practically toothless little monster reminds me of my 7 year old little girl and really, what toothless wonder doesn't melt your heart ;) Love all of the fabulous stitching and polka dots too! Fabulous card Rose!
