I did it!! and Part 3 of the Calendar Challenge!!

Just in time....but I did it!! I did 3 Calendar pages in 3 weeks!!

Kathy D.


 Sorry for the darker pictures. My Ott light bulb decided to go out after 6+ years!
This represents my September because my husband's birthday is the 13th so that means we go to Red Lobster or get Crab Legs from the store!! We love seafood and most special occasions are celebrated at Red Lobster!!
Their challenge is open to Sept 4th so head over there and play like I did!!

Winner of Part 2 of the Calendar Challenge is:
Congratulations AJ!
You have one a $5 gift code to Clearly Digi Stamps 
(She was entered into the drawing twice for each CDS image used!!)

 Please contact Cassie (cassandratrask@yahoo.com) for your prize. 
 

Let's go ahead and post Part 3 of the Calendar Challenge!!

We are going to challenge each other 
to make and complete a calendar by September.  
I figured we can do 3 pages in 3 weeks....surely we can! For every page you enter during those 3 weeks (up to 3 entries) you will be entered into a drawing for a $5.00 gift code for digital stamps at Clearly Digi Stamps. Then in September we should have a completed calendar! There will be a grand prize!! Anyone who completes a whole calendar (12 pages) will be entered into a drawing to win 1/2 the amount of Clearly Digi Stamps that you used on your calendar. So if you use 12 Clearly Digi Stamps to make the calendar you will win 6 Clearly Digi Stamps of your choice!! You don't have to use CDS images to enter but it will get you more CDS stamps if you win the Grand Prize.
CHALLENGE: 3 calendar pages any size (with or without pictures)

Time: August 13 @ 11 pm - Sept 4 @ 11 pm (Central Time)

Prize: $5 gift code to Clearly Digi Stamps for digital stamps.

Winner will be announced on Sept 5th @ 10 am (central time) 
* You don't have to make the pages in order. So start out with any month that you have inspiration for!

 CHALLENGE RULES:


  • You may use digis or stamps from any company on your challenge entry. Or no stamps at all but you must meet the requirement of the challenge.
  • If you use a CDS image then you will be entered twice into the drawing.
  • You may enter the Calendar challenge up to 3 times per post.

CiSC #4 - Lift the person before you Challenge

 Clearly iStamp Blog Challenge #4 - Lift the Person Before You
Any type of crafty project is allowed as long as it meets the theme.
Dates: Aug 2 (10 am) – Aug 15 (11 pm) Central Time
Prize: $10 gift code to Clearly Digi Stamps for digital stamps. If you use a CDS stamp you will be entered into the drawing twice.
There will also be a Top 3 award!
 
I hope you have as much fun as we did with this challenge.
I got the ideal for this challenge on Scrapbook.com so I hope I can pull it off here on a blog. We will at least give it our best shot, right!!? What you do is leave a comment in the comment section stating you will play and your blog address. Then you look at the person who left a comment right before you and that is who you will lift (The first person in comment section gets to lift anyone from the CiSC DT). You will go to their blog and find a project that you want to "lift". "Lift" means you take something from the project (colors, theme, image, layout, element, etc) and base your card on that. The ladies have made some awesome examples below that show what "lifting" is all about!! (In your post if you can state who you lifted and what project...and if you can post their project on your blog that would be awesome! Like I did below.)

Hope you will come play with us!
