SISC80 ~ The Case of the CASE’ing Crafter… And a Big Announcement.

Beth — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Happy Thursday! Wow – 80 challenges. That’s a milestone! I’m so proud of all the beautiful Groovy Gurlz and the beyond-words incredible work they’ve produced for your inspiration over the last two years. There are just no words. That makes the Big Announcement that much bigger – and more heartbreaking. This will mark the final StampInsanity Stamps Challenge. After a long, looong, decision process, I’ve decided this is what is best – there is not enough time in a day, and I’m sure you can all relate on some level! I just cannot thank you enough for your support, the awesome submissions that you’ve shared with us and the lovely comments and compliments you’ve sprinkled over us. I think I speak for the Gurlz when I say your kind words mean everything! So form all of us, a big groovy Thank You. Surely you’ll see each of us around the blogosphere individually, and we can’t wait!

Phew… all that aside, we have a challenge for you this week! I LOVE this challenge – do you know what a CASE is? There are variations, but the one I like is Copy And Steal EVERYthing! of course, that’s a misnomer, because one should ALWAYS give credit to the inspiring artist! Some say Copy & SHARE Everything. Pick your poison. Be sure to visit the Gurlz’ blogs for details on their inspiration ~ remember, each project was inspired by some other genius!

One last time, here are the incredible, amazing and utterly GROOVY GroovyGurlz:

Happy Thursday! Here we are, in NOVEMBER! Boggles the mind, yeah? So we’ve survived the Halloween festivities, and before the great holiday season rush… let’s just Chill Out for a moment. Ahhhh. Feels good! Let’s play on that feeling and create a project of your choosing using cool as ice blues. Funny how a color and tone can set a mood!

How about some cool inspiration from the Groovies to get you started…

Beth — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Oh, yeah ~ here we are again! Hope your Thursday is rockin’!

First up, I am so sorry that InLinkz/MrLinky up and bolted… I know a few of you awesome peeps left your submissions in the comments, and I’m going to send each of you a digi for you awesomeness. THANK YOU for taking the extra time to do that! Email me the digi you’d like…

Now, another great challenge for you to play along with… Using your favorite color! I love this because it is a chance to sneak a peek into your groovy selves! Is your vibe black as night, or light & bright? (The cheese is flowing now – watch out!) To be honest, I’m not even sure what color I would pick! My oddities run the full spectrum!

The best part of the post: The GROOVIES! Ready for some bangin’ samples? Me, too… And with each sample, I have a new favorite color! What’s YOURS?

These submissions are INCREDIBLE! Holy moly. So, the almighty randomizer says: 146, 149, 13, 93 and 45. I know, means nothing to me either, so let’s pair them up with some pics and names!

Email me and let me know which digi you would like! Congrats winners!

Now on to the business at hand… the GROOVY GURLZ! Oh, yeah – we are Going GOTH this week. Squeee! Are you up for the challenge?
