First Monday Card Challenge! #1 - September 7 to September 27, 2020

Hey all - I haven't been doing challenges for a bit - so am going to start something new - a FIRST MONDAY CHALLENGE.  On the first Monday of each month you can check my blog (and my Crazy Stamping Lady! Facebook business page) for that month's challenge.  Then you will have till midnight three Sundays later to post your card challenge picture on the post in Facebook or you can email me your photo indicating it is for the First Monday Challenge that month - crazystampinglady@gmail.com.  On the next day after the deadline I will draw for a winner and that person will receive a fun embellishment or dsp sampler from me by mail.  So hoping many of you will join in the fun!

So here is your challenge this month - entries must be received by my no later than midnight on Sunday, September 27, 2020.  On Monday, September 28, 2020 I will draw for a winner from all the entries.  Use the colors indicated below to create a card of your choice.  Those using all five colors will get a bonus entry.  Watch my FB Live video on Tuesday, September 8 at 9:30 AM (MST) if you'd like to see what I can come up with for this challenge.  Can't wait to see what you all create!! Have fun with this.

See you all soon!  ~Maureen

Monday Funday - Sketch challenge and contest!

So - lots of time on my hand and I always wanted to do a sketch challenge with my customers - so today is the day.  I came across this sketch and thought there is no time like the present - Plus it will hopefully inspire you to do some creations in your free time.

Challenge #1 - I included the original blog address - as I don't want to steal it -just use it - so feel free to check out her blog.  If I do this in the future, I may make up my own or borrow from another - but will always give credit where it is due.  So here is the deal - my challenge to you is to make a card with this sketch.  It does not have to use Stampin' Up! products - although I would LOVE that.  You can do it horizontal like this one - or turn it vertical.  You can use your imagination - this is just a sketch guideline.  But you need to go to my facebook page search Crazy Stamping Lady - like the page and post your picture of your card in the comments of the Challenge #1 Post.

Here's my card I made with the layout to give you some inspiration - cute and simple - fussy cut my birds out of the Bird Ballad DSP - and the pink polka dot layers are also from the DSP. 

Challenge #1 - Sketch challenge - my sample.

Now let's see what you can come up with - all entries posted to my Facebook page as stated above by Noon on Sunday, March 29, 2020 will be entered in a drawing for a FREE packages of Stampin' Up! dimensionals.  You can enter as often as you like - as long as each card is unique.  I'll draw at Noon and mail out your prize to you as soon as we connect and I get your address.  Watch my Facebook page for the winner to be announced.  Looking forward to seeing all your creations!  ~Maureen
