THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE IS:    
Scripture or Inspirational Sayings


This week our Special Guest Designer is:
 MANDY


Hi, my name is Mandy and I live in London in the UK. By day I am a librarian and by night & weekends a bit of a craftaholic - any chance I have to play with my crafty stash I will! I've been interested in making things for as long as I can remember - a a child there was always knitting, sewing or cooking on the go at home. Then around 2000 I discovered papercrafting and haven't looked back since! I love making cards and scrapbooking, and usually use rubber stamps, die cuts or decoupage, and I've recently become a lover of CD crafting and digi stamps. There is so many choices now and it really does mean you have your own craft shop at home that you can visit any time of day or night!
I was delighted when I was asked to be Guest Designer for this Challenge, so I hope you like the sentiment I chose and the simple design I came up with - the sentiment is so beautiful it really doesn't need much else! Happy Crafting, Mandy

"Best Friends"

Hi everyone!  Sassy Raggedy here with all of you today to showcase another card featuring a wonderful digi stamp image from Eureka Stamps....
I love this image and have seen many others using it in various cards.  This is my first time to color it and I used Copic Sketch Markers along with Prisma Pencils.  This image is soooo versatile I can seem myself using it for Easter, various birthday cards, friends cards, etc....

I used a step-card design and various design papers.  If you love this image as much as I do you can find it at the Eureka Stamps Store - Digi #5903-412.

Be sure to check out the Design Team Calls we have up and get your cards into our Challenge for this week.

Remember if you would like to be a Guest Designer for us be sure to add GDT after your name.  Starting in December our Guest Designer Spots will be switching from weekly to monthly.  Plus, you will be given 4 images of your choice to work with.

So that's it for me today....If you would like more info about my card be sure to drop by my blog here.

Pumpkin Background and Mica Powder

It's that season!
Time for pumpkins, turkey, mashed potatoes and giving thanks!
It's Kristie here from Kristie Kreates.
This weeks Eureka! Stamps challenge theme is 'give thanks' 
so I thought I would go along with that theme for this card.
I used
"Pumpkin Background" (#26601)
I stamped Pumpkin Background onto kraft card stock with VersaMark ink.
Then I brushed on some gold Mica Powder.
Eureka! Stamps carries several color sets of Mica Powder,
just click on the "Metallic/Mica Powders" link on the left sidebar of the home page at the Eureka! Stamps Store
to see what they have to offer.
Here is a close up that shows the gold shimmer of the Mica Powder.
Next I stamped the Pumpkin Background
image again and colored just parts of it with FlexMarkers
and fussy cut them.
I adhered those pieces to the background with foam tape.
The sentiment is rub ons and also popped up with some foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Leave a comment if you will.
I hope you have been inspired in someway.
Why not check out the wonderful images at
as well as all the other wonderful products they carry,
like the Mica Powder I used on my card?
Be sure to also check out the latest challenge and join in the fun.

Mosaic Pumpkin


I'm posting today for Eureka. I few weeks ago I posted with Eureka's mosaic background and leaves; today I'm showing you the mosaic pumpkin! I embossed the pumpkin in gold, then sponged orange and green inks. The Happy Birthday text is also gold-embossed.
