Happy Sunday everyone!  This is another prescheduled post. As you read this, I'll be in Hershey Pennsylvania with my family riding the roller coasters! :)

Whimsy Stamps & Make it Crafty have come together to create a fun Urban Themed digi collection!

Ann Vento has whipped up her magic and designed an incredible collection of
funky wall sayings, city landscapes and of course a range of super cool street signs.
Checkout the Sentiments collection HERE.

Make it Crafty is trying something new offering all the different elements for you to build your own urban backdrop.
Checkout the Urban Street Collection HERE.

Then of course, what better characters to incorporate into such a scene than the fabulous KennyK rubber stamps available from Whimsy Stamps!

Our incredibly talented Design Teams have had a blast playing with all the different elementsto bring you LOTS of inspiration!

We have broken it into TWO HOPS
HOP A Starts Here & HOP B Starts HERE!

There will be a winner for EACH HOP and if you hop your way through BOTH, you’ll go in the draw for the GRAND PRIZE TOO!

HOP A & B Winners will each receive a $15 voucher from both Whimsy Stamps and Make it Crafty

GRAND WINNER will win our full Urban Digital Collection
4 Digi Sentiment sets by Ann Vento & the Urban Elements Collection from Make it Crafty


You are currently on HOP B and should have arrived from Elaine's blog.

Here is my card:


I used the wooden fence and sidewalk digi background image from Make It Crafty. The KennyK image I used today is Brooklyn Babe and fun urban sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs both can be found at Whimsy Stamps. I also embellished with Make It Crafty's awesome chipboard gears.


Your next stop on HOP B is the Whimsy Inspirations Blog but before you go make sure you leave a comment below!

You have until August 21st 8PM Australian QLD time to make your way through the hops!

Be there... or be square!

Magnolia-licious Challenge #19

Hello everyone! This is a prescheduled post as I will be on vacation most of August and not around blogland very much. I will be on the net on and off though.  Just catching up on some R & R before the school season starts up and the cooler weather moves in. Hope you all have been enjoying your summer vacation and the sunny hot weather!

So, today at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog, our color challenge this week is to use Black and White and/or Monochromatic colors. This was a tough one for me as I've never colored in monochromatic or just black and white colors before.  Here's how my card turned out:




I've had these 2 Magnolia images for awhile and never had that chance to use them. But when I saw the inspiration photo for this challenge, I had to pull them out. Here is the photo to inspire us:


Details:

Paris Tilda
Eiffel Tower - doesn't seem to be in stock at Magnolia-licious right now.
Postcard BG Stamp by Whimsy - Love To Stamp
Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Accents
Spellbinder Nestabilities Labels 4
MFT rolled flower die
DCWV La Creme paper stack

Well, that's it for now. Hope you like my card today! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
