Challenge #8 - No Cards Allowed!

Hello and welcome back to the Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog! OMG - we had some absolutely gorgeous entries in our "Rockin' Rubbah!" Challenge that just ended! We thank everyone who played with us and hope you had a great time! It's always a total blast getting out those rubber stamps and getting inky fingers! We are so glad you're back here with us today and we're looking forward to more fun!

Want to guest design for Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog? We'd love for you to be in our Guest Designer Spotlight! Just add GDT after your name when you link up and you'll be entered into 'the pool' from which one lucky person will be picked to guest design for us each month (that's two challenges)! Be sure you have contact information on your blog so we can contact you! ;)


Now on to our challenge...
the theme for our challenge this time is No Cards Allowed!
We want to see any kind of project you want to create as long as it's
anything BUT a card!
And you can use any rubber stamp or digital image you want!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Digi Stamps!

Bugaboo logo

The prize up for grabs is 7 digital images of winner's choice!
How awesome is that?! We're so grateful for this sponsorship!

But there's a catch... you MUST mention in your blog post which Bugaboo image you've used and link directly to that image on the Bugaboo Digi Stamps site, and you MUST put #3 after your name when you link up below so that we know you're going for the extra entry using a sponsor image!

Welcome Shuly!

I'd like to introduce our new DT member - Shuly! She comes to us with lots of crafty goodness and we are SO happy to have her join our team! She will begin creating with us in Challenge #8 that will go live tomorrow morning!

Without further ado, here she is... Her blog is Shuly cartes - check it out and leave her some love!


Hello! My name is Shuly.

I’m so excited to be part of Love To Scrap design team, it’s such a huge honour for me! I hope you’ll share some great times scrapping with us in the fabulous challenges coming up.
I’m a 41 year old married mom of 4 little girls aged 7, 5 and 2 years old, the last one is 3 month old. I live in a small village of south east France, in a region called Ardeche.
Life is often hectic at home with babies crying night and day (any magical solution to make them sleep the whole night through welcome by the way) but my husband is very supportive and I do get some time to scrap and knit.
I’m fairly new at card making. It takes me a couple of days to make a card, the most difficult part for me being paper matching. I’m addicted to dies, punches and stamps I just love to learn about how to use them and when I’m down, I find an excellent remedy is watching a video on stamp colouring or die use. I get my inspiration from all the amazing cards on the challenges. So I guess I can thank you all for helping me along!



Welcome aboard, Shuly! Again, we're very happy to have you on our team and we look forward to lots of fun crafting together!

Big hugs,
Leslie & the DT
