Sale-a-bration is almost over… hurry- free product ends Friday!
I can’t believe it is the last week of Sale-a-bration! Where did the past 2 months go??? If you haven’t gotten a chance to earn your free Sale-a-bration products- it’s not too late!
And here are some cards that showcase the wonderful Designer Series Paper (called Sycamore Street). This is a package of 12×12 papers and designs are on both sides. I have made dozens of cards and boxes with this wonderful paper, AND it is awesome for scrapbooking! Bright colors and fun patterns!
Today at one of my upline’s team meetings (New York Inketts with Deb Valder), we did a take off of Cupcake Wars called Crafting Wars. There were four contestants who signed up in advance (due to an absence, I stepped in as contestant #4 today). There were 3 judges and just like cupcake wars, there was a “challenge”, a time limit and basic stamping supplies. Since I hadn’t signed up in advance, I didn’t prepare in any way, and only brought my basic stamping kit- trimmer, snail, scissors, adhesives and bone folder.
The tables were set with the same supplies: Madison Ave stamp set, clear blocks, 3 ink pads, 1 package of getting started collection (assorted colors) cardstock, 1 package Sycamore Street DSP (Designer Series Paper), 1 ribbon/button bundle from Sale-a-bration, a sponge, and other components for each challenge.
I was pretty surprised to make it to the next round. I tried covering up some stamping mistakes with some elements… I guess it worked! Did I say we only had 10 minutes for the challenge?? I was sweating buckets let me tell you.
Well I was thinking I’d be eliminated for sure, but the judges liked how I sponged all along the bottom of the box (did I already tell you I was covering up another stamping mistake??) … well I was tickled pick to make it to the final round (deep down I have a little competitive spirit that doesn’t get challenged nearly enough- unless I’m playing oh Cranium, Scene it, Scattegories, and other board games).
The whole afternoon was a ton of fun, oh my goodness I laughed so hard and really enjoyed the creativity (yes, even with a timer going)! I challenge you to try it sometime, set out some supplies, set the timer and just make something! You might be surprised at what you come up with. Well, I didn’t win Craft Wars, but I did get to take home all the remaining goodies, the rest of the cardstock, designer series paper, the ribbon/button bundle and the stamp set.
