Just Scraps Challenge #5 - Magazine CASE

Sunday evening and I’m done for the day - just this post to finish and then I’ll curl up on the couch with a book or magazine. I love to read though don’t do nearly as much as I did before I began scrapbooking and then cardmaking. I’m also a magazine junkie and papercraft/card/scrapbook magazines are now piling up along side all the other craft magazines I know I should get rid of. I keep my magazines - like forever. Isn’t that crazy? My sister will come visit me and leave with a stack of magazines. Six months later I’ll visit her and bring home another stack. This has been ongoing - back and forth - for years and years - the same magazines often traveling several times between our two homes.

So….. this week’s challenge? Pull out one of  those magazines you’ve purchased - for inspiration, ideas and/or patterns - and actually use it. Wow - a novel idea for me! Think I’ll aim for a card a day cased from my mags. We’ll see….

You have until Sunday, May 2nd to leave a link to your project using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date and we’ll have another random draw for a little blog candy.

Have a great day and congrats to Vikki of http://vikkithescrapjunkie.blogspot.com who won our little bit of blog candy this week.

My apologies - again - to the creator of this cute little digi.  When I download freebies, I try to take note of the source but far too often I lose the scrap of paper I note it on.  Rarely can quote the source in my post.  Hardly fair to those artists who give so generously of their time and talent so I’ve decided I’ll be much more vigilant in future. Help me out - if you recognize the image, let me know.

Update:

Thank you Ardilla for  forwarding the info I requested. Here’s the site where I downloaded the digi:

Ardilla, by the way, has a great list of digital stamp sites and well as another list of available blog candy on her sidebars. Check her out at http://tarjetasdeardilla.blogspot.com

The teddy is perfect on these cards. Inside sentiment:  Hello Baby

#1 son celebrated his 27th on Thursday. I finished his card on Friday - I did give him a lovely store-bought on Thursday - shame, oh shame - but it’s been that kind of a week. Plodding along at home all week trying to tuck two tons of stuff into a one ton space and busy at work as well. Threw out my back on Friday - what did I do? I moved - turned my head - that’s it! Can you believe it? Wasn’t sure I could have my grandson with me Friday night but he came for a few hours after all and was quite understanding of Grammy’s bad back. He didn’t want to ’spend’ anyway (spend means stay all night) - don’t think he’s totally cool with Grammy’s new digs yet.

A couple days late, but here’s the card. Purchased the image from Mo’s Digital Pencil a while back specifically for my son’s upcoming birthday. I think he may have been born with a control pad in his hand and at 27, he’s as much into gaming as ever he was, except perhaps from a different angle. He owns a number of on-line sites, www.gamesnipe.com being one of his more active. This image of Mo’s Video Kid seemed perfect for his birthday card. Colored it up with Copics.
