Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies!

Katie1 This is such an exciting week here at StampInsanity Stamps - we are revealing our first-ever Katie for a Cure set, designed for and benefitting Breast Cancer warriors and survivors and the Susan G. Komen foundation.  StampInsanity will be donating the proceeds from sales of this set – so tell your friends!  You can read more about my personal motivation for this set here – or visit the Katie tab at the top of the page.  Katie purchases and additional donations can be made at the SI Store. Please feel free to grab one of our Katie badges and share in our mission!

ALSO, we are SO thrilled to be teaming up with the FABULOUS ladies over at the Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge blog for this release!  This design team is incredible and includes our very own über-Groovies, Juanita & Jennifer! Thank you so very much, Juanita, for offering and being such a huge part of organizing this collaboration!

SISC17~ Water, Water – Everywhere!

authorBeth | July 8, 2010

Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies!  Are those of you on the East Coast enjoying this cool, crisp weather?  In that case – this week’s challenge is just for YOU! :)

This week we are continuing on with our little celebration of summer ~ by letting our minds be inspired by WATER!  Do you immediately think of a pool, with the cool aqua & white tones?  Or the tropical turquoise and white sand beaches?  Or are you a Northern girl and think about the sea foam green seas and the darker sand of the rocky shores?  Tell us about it and let your Grooviness carry you away!

Without further ado…  Here are the fabulous Groovy Gurlz’ projects!

authorBeth | June 24, 2010

Here we are again, fabulous Groovy Groupies!  Happy Thursday!

I’m excited this week… we have some incredible projects to share with you!  Let’s get right to it, else I am liable to get into some blatant pandering for birthday wishes… :D   This week, we have a Photo au Mojo of these incredible birthday cakes…  YUM!  Your challenge is to use this delish pic to inspire you to make a truly GROOVY birthday card!

SISC14~Betcha Bottom Dollar!

authorBeth | June 17, 2010

HAPPY Thursday, Groovy Groupies!! 

Normally I would be amazed at how time has flown, but WOW!  I didn’t think Thursday would ever get here!! This is such a fun challenge this week – fantastic samples from the amazing Groovies and (*pats self on back*) it’s a fun challenge with infinite possibilities!  I have a little sketch to go along with this one, too ~ but as always, I highly encourage you to GO NUTS, and make it your own!  :)

Yes, I completely acknowledge that it is a silly name for a challenge, but since I make it my life’s work to sound like a goofball, I ran with it! :) )  I’m not even sure what exactly a ‘Bottom Dollar’ is… any theories? Just like it sounds, it was inspired by the almighty DOLLAR!  In general, they are all similarly sized around the world, and all very decorative!   I like the unique size and shape of the currency… in particular, I was looking at a new $10 USD, which has that peachy tint to it, and the off-centered oval.  SO… break out of your standard-card-sized boxes and let’s make some magic! 

Here’s the sketch…

SISC13~Really Cool Recipe Challenge (RCRC)

authorBeth | June 10, 2010

Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies!

This week is going to be so much fun!  Our own DT Queen Margie came up with this delish recipe, and as always, the Gurlz completely crushed it!  :)   The challenge is this:  Use black paper, pearls, and a skull on your project…  OH, the possibilities!  Are you sitting?  Of course you are…  :) This week’s lineup has some of the coolest color combinations and some really clever details!  Par for the course with this group, though, right?  Here we go, the Groovies’ awesome samples for this week!

authorBeth | May 27, 2010

Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies! Can you believe another week has come and gone?  Wowza!

Before we get rolling this week, a couple of quick announcements!  First, we have to say goodbye to SuperGroovy Tonya, who will be taking off her Super Woman cape for a while.  Next, we are completely stoked that Guest Gurl Juanita Gillen is going to stay on in the Asylum permanently!  You should be very excited too – getting to see her cool creations every week! :)   Finally, just a reminder that you should *really* go scroll back through the last few challenges and check out the INCREDIBLE submissions from our super-Groovy readers!   As far as I’m concerned, you can never have too much groovy eye-candy to gawk at!  Go look!

For now, off we go on another groovy adventure through the blogs of our fantabulous Groovy Gurlz!

Ready, set – HOP!

This week we have another wonderful photo inspiration piece from Tonya!  Check this out~
