More Inspiration For the April Card Challenge

Hello, crafters!  It's my turn to inspire you to create cards this week featuring  freebie digi images from Sandra Caldwell over at Babycakes Doodle This & That.  I decided to play with paper piecing and so my first card features the digi called Love Conquers All.  My heart and the roses are printed on patterned paper and adhered to the printed image on white card stock.  I used a piece of Basic Grey patterned paper for the background and embellished with lace and a chain with a few tiny charms hanging on it.

My second card features the digi image For You.  I printed it on the same patterned paper as on my first card, but first paper=pieced the bloom and the pot and then fussy-cut the entire image onto a patterned paper background.  After framing it with brown card stock and tearing the bottom, I adhered it onto Kraft patterned paper, adding a ribbon for embellishment.  So that's three different patterned papers!

Are you inspired to go get your freebies and play in our challenge?  One participant will be chosen at random and will get a prize (see the 3/28 posting below for pics of the goodies).  Each prize will have a wonderful stamp set and asst'd embellishments to go with it.  Woo Hoo!!  I hope we have enough participants to choose one card using each of the images and if we have even more, I have more prizes!!  You can submit up to FOUR projects.  Each project must use a different image so you will be entered into the drawing for all five prizes.  You can use additional stamps and embellishments as long as you include a Babycake Doodle on your card.

Link up your projects here; if you don't have a blog, you can just email your project to Holley (htondre@aol.com) or Pat (patacake1956@yahoo.com) and we will set up your image to be linked in. Be sure and check out everyone else's cards and leave them comments. 

And if you fall in love with Sandra's images like we have, you can check them all out at her blog.  For all her art, check out her Etsy Store (link located on the sidebar at right).  So what are you waiting for?!  Go play!!  LOL  You can link your project to the post below this one.

Contest will go through April, so if you haven't had time yet, there's still plenty!!

The contest is coming....

Hello everyone!  We're about to have a new contest which will start in April.  We encourage all our members and all our visitors who want to play to join on in.  We are all going to be making cards using some wonderful free images that were given to use by Artist Sandra Caldwell from Babycakes Doodle This and That.

Here's some of the wonderful prizes that will be given out:






 
She has four different images, so I am hoping we will have four different contest, one for each image.  You can create one card (or other item, an ATC, tag, gift bag, scrapbook page,....) per image and enter it, for a total of four entries per person.   There will be one random drawing for a winner and then we will have a group vote (from members of Scrapbook Place) to pick winners per image....Each winner will get one of the stamp sets shown above an an assortment of the goodies....
 
The images included are the images that Sandra gave out last month during Feb,
 
On April 1st I will post the opening for the contest, and hopefully get Mr Linky up and working so you can start linking your cards. If you don't have a blog, just let me (htondre@aol.com) or Pat know and we can put your cards somewhere to link them.
