It's finally here! Open House at The Crafter's Cafe! We have a ton of fun planned. There are challenges that start today and will be open all week. We'll have a different game with a prize every day. You can win a door prize just for stopping by and saying hi each day. We have a ton of great sponsors and fabulous prizes! We hope you'll stop by each day for fun and games.
Today, I have my sample cards for the challenges. We have five challenges that start today. I'm going to post each one in a different post. I hope you'll check them all out.
The next challenge is - Recycle it. This challenge is sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps. For this challenge, you need to recycle something from your Christmas decorations or gift wrapping stash. I used a pink gift bag from Peanut's birthday and made a tag for Valentine's day. I used I love my mom from Reese's Scrap Pieces. I printed the image on Make It Colour paper and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. The markers are new to me and I'm learning them. I really like the way they color. If you want to get started with alcohol markers, they're really affordable!
