Guest Designer - Maryia Potapovich

Hello Everyone

Today we have an awesome Guest Designer, to play along with our "Stamp It Up Challenge" this month and she is the very talented and lovely Maryia Potapovich.

Here is a little about Maryia.

My name is Maria and I'm a scrapaholic! Of course, the most works I do are made by the requests of customers (note pads, shadow boxes, cards...), but sometimes I want to make something for the soul. Most of my notebooks  go to customers with their individual fairy tale, written exclusively for them. Of course, there are some notebooks without stories in my blog, and there are some stories that do not have notebooks ...

Recently, I like and often make shadow-boxes, maybe because of the high demand for them. But sometimes I do them simply "for the mood."

My work can be seen on my blog: http://mellpellmell.livejournal.com/ or http://mellpellmell.blogspot.com/

Maryia created this gorgeous altered box.

"It was a box made of corrugated cardboard the size of a thick square book. Now it is a vintage decoration for shelves for paintings."

I've used stamps from 3 collections for this project:

Head on over to Maryia's blog to view the many, more wonderful projects.

Thanks so much Maryia for this gorgeous inspiration! ;-)

There is still a few days left to play along with the challenge and some yummy goodies up for grabs.

Stamp it Up - June Challenge

Hello Everyone

It's my turn, Denise, to host this month's challenge! It's a real goodie and I hope you will like it too!

It's a "Stamp It Up" Challenge and so we want to see projects with lots of stamping, whether digital or rubber!

You can create layouts, cards, art journals, tags or even altered projects, as long as they contain stamping.

I went "all out stamping" and created some seed packets for this challenge.

I had forgotten how much fun stamping can be! ;-)

I used 2 templates from the internet for the packets, which I printed onto some Graphic 45 papers and then started stamping away.

Here's some close-ups of the four different packets.

These are a little larger than the one's above.

I used StazOn ink for stamping all my images and so I was able to use water colour pencils and water to colour the images.

This gorgeous pea stamp is from our sponsor this month, Viva Las VegaStamps and was the inspiration for the seed packets! ;-)

So now, we would love to see your take on this month's challenge! ;-)

As always, we have some yummy goodies up for grabs.

1st Prize:

1 plate o' rubber, the winners choice, shipped to them for free.
