Addicted to Stamps - CAS Challenge #2

Hello to all our craft Addicts out there. Are you ready for another challenge?

Now, we know that CAS can be scary and a lot of people curl up into the fetus position under the desk at even hearing the word.

But the last CAS challenge showed us that you can do it, and boy can you do it well!!!!

We can't wait to see what you come up with this time, but have a look at what the Design Team have come up with.

Rules for this challenge -

CAS (Clean & Simple)

A design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments.

ATS Scrapbook Challenge #2 - WINNER

How are we all today? I'm nearly ready for bed, lol.

I'm not too tired not to post the winners of our Scrapbook Challenge with the theme

HOLIDAYS!!

I would firstly like to thank the ladies that join in our Scrapbook Challenges. We are only up to our 3rd one and I am certain we will encourage even more followers to start scrapping. It's such a wonderful way to showcase your memories - not matter what they are.

Our Srcap Addict for the month of July is......

Hettie!!!!

All the elements contained in Hettie's page where just wonderful. The photo itself and the description Hettie gave of it's wonderful history was  fantastic. I personally love the Olive Branch along the bottom of the page. Overall with the DSP, the photo, journalling and embellishments made for a perfect holiday page.

Congratulations Hettie - please grab your badge from the tab at the top of the page xx

Bingo Challenge #2 - WINNERS

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our last challenge. Bingo is so much fun as there is a lot of scope to make your own masterpiece but the challenge is still there to remain within the confines of the Bingo card.

The Design Team had some wonderful inspiration for you and you certainly brought your A game.

Without any further ado, our

HONOURABLE ADDICTS

are

Chrissie

Tara

And our

TOP ADDICT

is

Danielle for her stunning white on white card that really blew us away!

Congratulations to you all! Please grab your badge from the tab up the top.

Also, don't forget our next Challenge - Cards for Boys. Just click on the link to the latest challenge to the left.



Scrap that perfect holiday moment!

There are only a few days left in our 2nd Scrapbook Challenge.

The theme this month, chosen by Victoria is.....

HOLIDAYS

Now, I'm sure that you have a holiday at some point in time that needs to be scrapped and this is the challenge to help you get it done!

You may use Digital Scrapbooking as well. If the 12 x 12 layout terrifies you, how about doing one that is

6 x 6 or a custom size of your own?

Here lies the challenge - are you up for it? We want to see you and your holidays and we want them now - get scrapping and have fun xx

ATS Theme Challenge #2 - Cards for Boys

Good morning!

It's Patrice here, I've hijacked the Challenge site as Kylie is having some internet issues up there in Queensland.  Sorry our post is going up a little late this morning.

The new Challenge this week is a THEME - Cards for Boys.  I know many of us struggle with making masculine cards so hopefully there will be lots of inspiration once you join in the fun and we can all refer back to it in future.  Hope you can join us!

To whet your appetite here are the design team creations for this week.

WOW! We are a little late, are we not? Apologies to all those who entered the challenge for the lateness of this post xx

Firstly, I would like to remind everyone that our latest challenge "Bingo Addict" is there for the taking. We would love to see what you come up with when you choose which lines of Bingo you will be playing. There is plenty of inspiration there too, so click on the left side of the blog for the 'Weekly Challenge' to take you straight there!

Once, again, our entries were all wonderful as usual. It always makes it that much harder for the DT to make a decision each week.

ATS - "Make your Mark" Challenge #2

How is everyone today? The design team at Addicted to Stamps would like to give you a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month... Does anyone do that still? LOL.

I can't believe we are already into our second rounds of challenges. I would like to thank the Design Team for all their wonderful contributions and patience. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful bunch of ladies to work with.

Jacqueline will be away for a couple of weeks due to family commitments and on behalf of the Design Team and all our followers, I would like to send Jacqueline a big hug and we can't wait to see you back soon xx

So, do we all remember the rules for this challenge?

It's very simple - your project can be anything really as long as your markers are incorporated. Easy, huh?

We can't wait to see what you all come up with but in the mean time, perhaps you will find inspiration below.
