LTSCB #28 - Scraplift This!

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog! Thanks to everyone who played with us in our "Anything Goes!" challenge that just ended! We absolutely loved seeing all your amazing creations! Be sure to check back tomorrow for our Winners and Leslie's DT Favorites (Top 5)!

Want to guest design for Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog? We'd love for you to be in our Guest Designer Spotlight! See the tab above for all the details. Just add GDT after your name when you link up and you'll be entered into 'the pool' from which two lucky crafters will be picked to guest design for us each month (that's two challenges). Remember, with the newest InLinkz updates, you'll need to change the link name to your name when linking up so that your name appears under the thumbnail rather than the name of your project link, then add GDT after your name.

Our theme this time is...
Scraplift This!

We challenge you to scraplift (or, uh, steal) 3 or more elements from Cathy's layout and use them on your project! ;) Please state in your blog post the elements you lifted!
And you can use any rubber/clear or digital stamp you want!
[That means we need to see some STAMPING on your project!]

Welcome Karen!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to introduce to you our newest DT member - Karen! She is an amazing paper artist and we are so happy she has joined our team! She will begin creating with us in LTSCB #27 that goes live next Monday morning! Karen's blog is Dreaming and Creating - please go check it out and leave her some love!

Without further ado, here she is...


Hi, Karen McAlpine here, to tell you a little bit about myself.  I have a long crafty history and have been crafting since the age of four.  Over the years, I have enjoyed many crafts including: decoupage, embroidery, sewing, quilting, crocheting, and card making.  I have been making cards for about 15 years. I started out making cards on the computer with a greeting cards software package.  About 8 years ago, I moved on to hand made cards.  I really love the creative scope that comes from stamping.  I feel that each stamp is a little work of art in its own right.  Of course I like to put my own signature style on my projects.  My projects will almost always include lots of layers, a mix of pattern and texture, and fibers of some kind.  Creating my own backgrounds with paint, ink, a Gelli Plate, or stencils has become one of my favorite techniques.  I am not only a card maker, but also a card sender.  I get those cards out in the mail to cheer, encourage, uplift, and spread a little love.  Happy card making!


Welcome aboard, Karen! Again, we're so stoked you've joined our team and we look forward to lots of fun creating together!

Big hugs,
Leslie & the DT
