Time for a New TOWN SCRAPPER CHALLENGE!!

Hi Fellow Crafters!

THE TOWN SCRAPPER has its latest weekly CHALLENGE underway!!  This week we are encouraging everyone to join in on the fun and create a project incorporating either REAL OR FAUX STITCHING.  Not too difficult a requirement, is it?  Phebe, owner of THE TOWN SCRAPPER is offering the fantastic stamp set pictured below.  This set is entitled, Hockey Evan and Hockey Sophie. It is a TOWN SCRAPPER exclusive, created by VICTORIA CASE.  This adorable set will be RANDOMLY awarded to one of this week's challenge participants.

Love to have a shot at receiving Evan and Sophie, but need a little inspiration?  Why not check out what our talented Scrapettes have designed for the STITCHING CHALLENGE, HERE?

As tomorrow is SHOWCASE MONDAY at the TOWN SCRAPPER,  I thought I would share one of my creations featuring an image by Stampavie artist TINA WENKE.  STAMPAVIE is just one of the MANY wonderful and unique product lines carried by PHEBE, in her store, THE TOWN SCRAPPER.  This sweet stamp is entitled Mouse Holding Ice Cream.  Is he not the sweetest little mouse you've ever seen?

           Wishing everyone a week of happy crafting....

Happy Day

Good Thursday Afternoon!

Today, I thought I'd post a card I made for a special occasion in my littlest one's life.  I fell in love with this image by Tina Wenke (Stampavie) when I first laid eyes on it.  I picked-up this adorable stamp at the TownScrapper. 

Phebe, owner of The TownScrapper, carries Stampavie as well as a wide assortment of unique stamps and wonderful supplies for all of one's crafting needs.  Check out all the details of  her AMAZING current sale HERE.

The image featured on the card pictured below is "Mouse in Nut Boat".
