Clarification about NCM Challenge

Hello Ladies,

This is just a clarification about a certain rule in our NCM Challenge.  I am posting this so it will be clear to everybody.  My friend Joan and I agreed that we should go easy on RULE No. 1: 1 comment for Joan and 1 comment for myself + 1 project = 1 official entry.  Since NCM had become really successful we agreed to go easy on that particular rule and to be perfectly honest, it was confusing.  So there you go ladies, disregard rule number 1 but of course we would both appreciate it if you can stop by once in awhile and leave us some lovely comments but no pressure okay.

Still have couple days to go.  Please keep on posting your projects.  Remember, the more projects you post, the bigger your chance to  win the  goodies.

Thanks for making our NCM challenge a big success.  Now I am starting to think what challenge I might do for next month... or should I just wait for May for National Scrapbooking Day?  Hmmm, what do think?  Let me know your thoughts please...

Goodluck ladies and hope everyone is having a nice weekend!  Hugs!

National Craft Month Blog Candies

Hello everyone, today is the start of the National Craft Month celebration and hope you can celebrate it with me and my friend Joan, Tinker Planet.   The two of us joined crafty forces to celebrate the month by creating all kinds of crafty projects.  Our goal is to encourage fellow crafters like us to make at least one crafty project every day for the whole month of March.  Yeah, it is a dare, that requires your precious time and hardwork but in the end it will be all worth it.  You will be surprised how productive you were during the whole month of March.  

Of course hard work always gets rewarded right, so my friend, Joan and I will be giving away a total of 4 blog candies that will be drawn in April.

Below are some basic rules that you must follow:

1.) Leave a  comment on my blog and Joan's blog then you can post your project for the day.  2 comments (mine and Joan) + 1 project = 1 official entry.
2.) Your entry projects can be anything from cardmaking, scrapbooking, any kind of papercrafting, crocheting, beading, jewelry-making, knitting, cross-stitching, sewing and anything crafty that you can think of.  Joan and I will be collecting submitted project using the inlinkz tool below.
3.) Collection will end on March 31 so post projects as much as you can, as much as you want PROVIDED that it is a new project made between the dates of March 1 - 31, 2011.  Winners will be given 24hours to get in touch and if not then a new winner will be drawn again.
4.) Reposting the blog candy in your blog is acceptable but not a requirement although we would appreciate it if you will spread the word.  The more, the merrier, right!?
5.) Having a blog is not a requirement to join in the fun.  For those who doesn't have a blog, you can upload your entry projects to galleries like SCS and Photobucket and then link it to Inlinkz tool below.
6.) Please make sure that your site is not set to private so we can view it as well as the other participants.  Anyways, we are here to inspire each other with our own masterpieces, right!?

My newly dressed-up blog

Life lately was a little bit maddening so I didn't have the time to work on my blog.  Moving too a new house was not a joke especially if its big.  A week ago, our household goods both in GA and from Korea finally got here.  Boy, you should see my house now, it's a huge mess.  Although most of the boxes are gone with a couple that still need to work on.  My craft room was a disaster place and I'm really running out of place to put on my things.  Purging is really must.  My plan was to share some with my kids, sell some and host another blog candy for my dear craft friends.

Speaking of blog candy, my friend, Joan and I are currently hosting blog candies, click HERE and HERE in celebration of the National Craft Month. I have been participating during the first week but like I said earlier life was a bit maddening right now.  Today, I mostly work on my craftroom and I'm taking breaks in between so I can finish my blog's new look. I can say that I was very productive today eventhough I'm so beat.

REDISCOVERING GLITTERS

Recipe:

1.) I stamped a vine image in Tsukineko glue pad unto a black cardstock.
2.) Then I sprinkled it with my newly bought jewel Glitter Ritz, a very fine glitters.
3.) Adhere it to couple mats and added ribbon as embellishment.

 CHALKBOARD TECHNIQUE:

1) Stamped vine image to a pigment inkpad.
2) The way to apply the chalk is by tapping. Tapping will let the pigment ink grab the chalk. I used 4 different shades of green.
3) Adhere to couple mats.
4) Added sentiment.

 

REPURPOSED RUBBERSTAMP MOUNT

I have been unmounting my stamps lately. Some of my stamps like Belles & Whistles came in a laminated sheets. Instead of just getting rid of them, I thought of altering it. Last week, we went to Hobby Lobby and I finally found a nice trim that would look good for this bookmark project. So far, I'm happy with the result....

In a week, March will be over and I hope everyone will be looking forward to celebrate with us again the National Craft Month next year.  Please keep on posting your craftwork on the blog candies. I am so dying to finish my craftroom and the whole house so I could start playing with you guys, again.

Hope you like the new dress of my blog.  Dressing it was the next best thing to crafting.  Have a great day...

Happy Crafting...
