</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ms. Dee is having a great time with some of the "new" products she received lately and has not found the time to use. She made a 6x6 card and used one of the "New" 12" Embossing border folders "Cage" from Provo Craft, Tim Holtz "Caged Bird" Alterations Dies, Paper, Ink and a stamp for the sentiment. She mentioned if you count the adhesive ...she didn't quite make the "Take 5"........So......what do you think??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We did a charm swap amongst our team members. The challenge - make a charm and use some form of bling including: glitter, stickles, gems, glimmer mist, etc. We just love charms! They can be used to embellish a layout, tag, card, altered item, etc.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give this challenge a try and make your charm sparkle! Here are the design team's lovely creations. For even more detail on how we made our charms, please visit each team member's blog! First, Denise made these adorable wedding ring charms using shrink plastic. She colored the rings with a silver Sharpie and after she shrunk them she added glitter glue for the diamond then coated the ring with crystal effects. Wouldn't it be nice to have a real ring with this kind of bling? </span><br />

In honor of our mothers, let’s create a project that incorporates something that belonged to her or the mother figure in your life. If you do not have a physical object use a picture of yourself because you do belong to her! If that doesn't inspire you create something representing one of your mother's favorite things!</span><br />

The challenge for this week is to create a project that is very English. Think dragons, knights or roses along with the English Flag. Note: St. George's Day in the United Kingdom remembers St. George, England's patron saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on April 23, is seen as England's national day. According to legend, he was a soldier in the Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a princess.<br />

Terry made three unique creations after blowing out the insides of her unboiled eggs. The blue egg is embroidery floss twirled and glued around the outside of the egg. The yellow egg is covered in beautiful Prima flowers with a pearl center. Both are inspired by Martha Stewart for more details, please see Terry's blog! The last egg is for fun and is all dressed in her Sunday best. Enjoy!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It’s officially Spring! We love flowers and this is most everyone's favorite time of year! With beautiful flowers in bloom everywhere, we challenge you to create a project with handmade flowers using whatever materials you choose (e.g., paper, fabric, etc.).</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Check out Lia's flowers created using her Cricut (George and Basic Shapes cartridge) and glimmer mist. She layered a five petal flower in three different sizes (.5" to 2.5"), sprayed then with water, and pinched up and then pulled down the petals one by one. Believe it or not all of the flowers were made from white cardstock and colored with glimmer mist! Her stems are also handmade.</span><br />

We are really going to stretch our paper crafting skills and create paper lanterns. There are a number of how-to videos on the Internet, including this one (although it's not very thorough) using recycled red envelopes (aka red packets) used to give gifts during Chinese New Year and a stapler! <a href="http://how-to-make.blogspot.com/2007/11/paper-lantern.html">http://how-to-make.blogspot.com/2007/11/paper-lantern.html</a> . This video by Dawn is easier to follow and more like the lanterns we made in school: <a href="http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-make-a-Paper-Lantern-77391934">http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-make-a-Paper-Lantern-77391934</a>.

Today is National Handwriting Day so our challenge is to create a card, ATC, scrapbook page layout or other project that includes an element of your own handwriting. Most of us don't like our own handwriting so this will truly be a challenge! We hope you're inspired by our design team's creations to do some handwriting of your own! <br />

Marie created this beautiful double-page layout with the journaling done in her own handwriting.<br />

</div>So, let's take the challenge and try to create with our own handwriting. <strong>Mr. Linky is still having tech issues so please just include the link to your project in your comment (some of you already have done this) --thanks!</strong>Myrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15652674467092073777noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521841384319341341.post-52866219113710575632010-01-08T16:22:00.000-08:002010-01-13T06:17:39.994-08:00Challenge #12 - Going GreenWelcome and happy 2010! This year, we will be posting challenges every other week so that you all have plenty of time to try them out before we move on to the next one.<br />
<br />
<div><div><div><div>We decided to start the year right and create a project where you choose what you want to create, as long as your project incorporates at least 50% recycled products. For example, a chipboard album or embellies made from a cereal box; a candy or trinket gift jar using a recycled food jar; or home décor using an old hardcover book covered in patterned paper, etc.<br />
<br />
Below is what our design team members came up with. This is the debut of some of our newest design team members and they did not disappoint! We hope you have fun with this challenge. Please remember to use Mr. Linky to link us to your projects!<br />

Denise created this awesome mailbox, so if you missed the cute mailboxes at Target, you can use these, which are even cuter! Denise made an svg file for the box and cut it with SCAL (check out the video on her <a href="http://paperpastime.com/">blog</a>). What did Denise recycle? The box itself is cut from a gift box, and the flag is a piece of plastic from gift packaging. Her family laughed at her on Christmas morning because she kept saying "don't throw that out!" Way to go green! <br />

</div><div>MsDee created this beautiful Valentine's Day card using the new Cricut Love Struck Mini Cartridge to die cut pieces from recycled aluminum cans, her Cuttlebug to emboss the recycled aluminum can pieces for the hearts (clever!), and Ranger alcohol inks to color them. Isn't this fabulous? I never would have thought the can was thin enough to die cut and emboss!<br />

She then re-glued the bottom of the can with liquid adhesive and decorated and embellished the cans. This is a cute gift idea and there are plenty of tutorials on the web for this technique.<br />

Susie made these beautifully decorated storage tins for her crafting supplies using recycled cookie and candy tins! What a great way to get your craft space organized for the new year and recycle something we have in abundance.<br />

Since then my free time has been spent with paper. I love trying new ideas and techniques, but for some unexplainable reason, I love boxes! No box is safe with me-I will take it apart to see how it was made!!! I get my inspiration everywhere-Internet (especially the Cricut MB!), TV, stores... I'm always on the lookout for a new project.</em><br /><br />We can't wait to see some of Denise's boxes!!

I love to teach others and hold regular classes at my local library and at my home. I used to work for the Armed Services YMCA teaching military wives a variety of crafts and loved every minute of it. I also worked at Michaels as a class instructor. I have been paper crafting for about 13 years now. I was a scrapbooker first, then in the last couple of years, I have really been card making more than scrapbooking.<br /></em><br /><em>I have had a Cricut Expression for about 2 ½ years now and love the versatility of this machine and the way it has stepped up my crafting. I also love to sew. I have my own seamstress business from my home and I love blending my two loves: sewing and paper.<br /></em><br /><em>I find my inspiration from lots of sources, mostly online or just playing with paper and embellishments.</em><br /><br />I've seen how Marie blends her sewing and papercrafting talent and it's amazing.

I started my blog, Little Smiles (Previously White Ribbon Cards) 2 years ago which opened up a whole new obsession for me .........Challenges, which is where I find my inspiration.</em><br /><br />We are so happy to have Susie joining us all the way from the UK!!!

From there, I started scrap booking in 2000 but concentrated more on cards. Making paper crafts is a way for me to "give" to others and the world of crafts has opened up many wonderful possibilities by which to do this. I get my inspiration from other crafters/bloggers. It is from Ms. Dee's blog that I became a follower of GSP, intrigued by her work.</em><br /><br />Well, we're a fan of the talented Terry too so check out her awesome work on her blog at: <a href="http://www.terryeo.blogspot.com/">http://www.terryeo.blogspot.com/</a>.<br /><br />Stay tuned because we have some wonderful challenges planned for 2010!!

The deadline is this Sunday the 13th!<br /><br />Also, we have a winner for the HSN exclusive 6 <a href="http://gluescissorspaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/giveaway-award-and-prize.html">Cuttlebug folders</a>!

Marti, please email us your information.<br /><br />Finally, we have an exciting challenge for this week. We picked up these $5 mirrors from Ikea and decided to alter them...anything goes!

So....drumroll please...the winner for the month of September's challenges is <strong>Etha</strong>! Etha, please email us so we can send you the badge! Etha inspired the team with her beautiful "Boo" word book that you can see <a href="http://ethaschuette.com/?p=854">here</a>. The Top Artist for the month of October is <strong>Terry EO</strong>!!

We want to share the love and inspiration we have here at GSP and by posting our blinkie on your blog or web site you help us do just that! So, every now and then our design team hops by your blogs and when we spot our blinkie it warms our hearts. We randomly selected one of our followers who posted our blinkie on their blog to receive a small token of our appreciation (a Martha Stewart drippy goo punch, a roll of Cricut vinyl and some Heidi Swapp bling). Who's the lucky winner? It's the wonderful <strong>Cathy T at KoalaTKreations</strong>. You have to check out her adorable blog <a href="http://koalatkreations.blogspot.com/">here</a>.
