Hello Mo fans.. it was great to see so many of you play along with us last week - a great turnout for our masculine card challenge! Thanks everyone. For the month of May Denise will be our hostess and she's put together some really fun challenges (I had a sneak peek!) so we hope you will be joining us. First, let's meet Denise... Hello and welcome to Mo's challenge's for the Month of May. My name is Denise Sanchez and I've been seriously paper crafting for approximately 2 years. I have always been a "crafter" dabbling in cross-stitching, beading, and jewelry designing. I was selling jewelry on eBay when I decided to see if there was a market to "sell off" a few drawers of rubber stamps (from the early '90's). I then "discovered" several very talented "card artists" selling their 3-D cards on eBay and a whole new "world" was opened to me! Then I found NEW embossing powders, ink pads, GLITTER, beautiful designer papers and especially, and made my first eBay purchase of Nestibilities. Soon I developed internet friendships, jumped into the world of blogging, and here I am today, with my own blog, and learning and using digital images from the wonderful collection created by the talented Mo Manning. Hope this Month is inspiring to many of you, as the sun and warm weather is sure lifting my spirits and every challenge this month will be geared towards SPRING! So what might Denise have planned for us with Spring in mind... ?? For her first challenge it's all about a forecast of rain - use an image from Mo's Digital Pencil to make a creation that includes or suggests water. Denise Cathy Caryn Elaine Dawn Peggy Sandy Sheila Lisa Lydia It's easy to play along with us.... just link up your creation with Mr. Linky. You may link to your challenge blogpost (not to your web address) or your challenge card at an online gallery at SCS, SNR or PCP. Questions? Just pop us a line and we'll be more than happy to help out. One lucky person will win a digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil and we'll announce that winner next week at the close of the challenge. Good luck everyone and happy coloring.

Happy beautiful Friday everyone! I hope your week is going well, it is finally starting to feel like spring here. I am not a fan of the cold weather so I'm looking forward to warmer days. :) Before we announce the top 3 of this week's challenge, I wanted to personally thank you all for being a part of Raise The Bar. When I started this site, it was a chance for me to challenge my own self, to raise my own bar when it came to creating, and of course being inspired by your designs as well. Thanks to you, I've been introduced to some wonderful stamp and paper companies, just by adoring your work! I have also met the most wonderful group of designers who, week after week, have produced such amazing cards. This summer is a huge transition for my family - we have our oldest going off to college, our youngest starting Kindergarten, and moving where the Army sends us. My husband will hit 20 years of active duty, and we've been fortunate to live in Virginia for 8 of those years. With that said, Raise The Bar will close its doors at the end of April. By coincidence, the two remaining Bar-Tenders Thanh and Peggy, have been handpicked to be on The Greeting Farm's Design Team, so we will all still have the chance to create together! YAY! From the Bar to the Farm... ;) Every challenge of this month will have a goodbye theme, more on that in a bit. For now congratulations to this week's top 4 designers (just because it was so hard to choose!!): Kathy of Will Stamp for Wine Danni of Danni's Dreams Vicky of Crafting Vicky Leona of Cards by Leona Congratulations ladies! Please email me at [email protected] for your opportunity to be a Guest Bar-Tender. And now for this week's challenge, in the theme of saying 'Goodbye' to all the Raise The Bar followers: Pack Your Bags (use any image/embellishment/paper with a bag/suitcase) And here are our wonderful Guest Bar-Tenders: Kevin Leeann Wendy And our Bar-Tenders: Peggy Thanh ********************

A card making club and challenge blog.

Happy Thursday, peeps! Another sympathy card today, this one using Arielle’s Retrosketches sketch and the ColourQ color palette, neither of which I’ve played with in quite a while: First, I flipped the sketch so my little bird wouldn’t be staring off into space! I used a Sahara Sand card base and stamped the Dictionary background stamp on it with Versamark so it wasn’t too dark. Then I went to work on my elements: I had a scrap of textured Soft Sky in my scrap pile, so I stamped it with a MFT Distressed Background Blocks stamp, then added a diecut bird and some diecut leaves from the same Lawn Fawn set as yesterday’s card: Same Petite Pairs sentiment too, since it was already on my desk! Thanks for visiting today!

This week our challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is to Think Spring Here are the rules: You MUST follow the theme and use at least one Cheery ...

Good afternoon It's my turn to be your designer over at Muse for this week's challenge and hopefully my card will inspire you to play along. The idea at Muse is to use the designer's creation as the inspiration for your project. You can, for example, use the layout, colours, technique, etc. Hopefully there are a few elements here that will kickstart your creative mojo! This card just sort of evolved as I went along, I didn't have a finished image in my head, just went with the flow... On a white cardstock panel I started by masking a horizontal strip before blending out from it with pink Distress Ink. I then added a little water to a couple more Distress Ink colours on my craft mat and created some splatters over the blended area, blotting gently with a paper towel to keep the splatters a little more subtle. Next, I stamped the flowers, leaves and flourishes, using masks over some images as I went. The horizontal mask was then removed and the sentiment stamped in the centre before popping the panel onto the card base using 3D foam. Materials used: Ink: Distress Ink - Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon; Memento - Tuxedo Black Stamps: Altenew - Hennah Elements; Clearly Besotted - Just Fabulous Challenge entries: My Time to Craft - Challenge #317 - Flowers Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes/The Great Divide Creative Inspirations - Challenge #246 - Pretty Projects Thanks so much for visiting today.
