Beth — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Well, Happy last Friday! I’m late… but boy do I have some awesome winners to announce! Thank goodness for Random.org… I’d NEVER be able to pick winners based on anything other than total anonymity! 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?

Welcome to another week here at the Asylum! You know what that means, don’t you? The weekend is almost here! Right! And some fantastic samples of our Groovy challenge for the week ~ that’s what you call a win-win…

Let’s explore said ‘Groovy challenge’ ~ and rock out “HEAVY METAL” style! Show us your creations where there some sort of metal on there (brads, frames, etc….you get the idea, right??)

Let’s get to the Groovies of Ward One!

Now it’s your turn to rock out with us!!

SISC43: Shades of YOU!

Tonya — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 11:00:57 +0000

Hello Again Groovy Friends!

Beth has a fun challenge for all of you who need a little “me time”!

Here is her challenge:

Choose your favorite color and use only shades of YOU! Ok, and white, if you must!

Winter blues? Red hot in love? LivingStrong in yellow?

Now doesn’t that sound groovy?

I have a card that I made awhile back that I want to share for this challenge.

I used my favorite shades of green and I absolutely loved the way it turned out.

The blue I used is only to enhance the illusion of white.

Ok, this week we have Ward 2 bringing you their awesome talents!

This is Juanita’s card. I’m totally in love with the purple she used. I think she did a beautiful job on this!

Again, lovin’ the purple! Alison did a wonderful job with coloring this image!

SISC42 – Let it ALL Hang Out!

Tonya — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:41:06 +0000

Hey all you Groovy Friends!

It’s Tonya, writing to you loud and proud! For those of you who know me, HELLO and I miss you all!! For those who do not, I’m Beth’s BFF and I’m filling in for her today. Beth is experiencing family illness and will be out for a couple of weeks. Please join me in wishing her and her family well. In the mean time, you’re stuck with me!!! So let’s get this party started!!!

This week we are challenging you to take “thinking outside the box” to a whole new level with Let it ALL Hang Out! Let your creativity flow past the edges of your paper! Get wild!!

Since Beth isn’t here and can’t monitor me, I think I’ll share a creation with you.

Dude, it’s fun taking over the Asylum!!

Ok, so mine didn’t exactly go past the edges of the paper. But technically, my paper went past the edges of the paper. My card was only supposed to be as big as the layer that says “Season’s Greetings”. This is a post card type of card measuring 5×7″. Here’s a picture of the Spica glitter:

Ok, thanks for letting me have my fun!!! Now on to the real stars of the show…

Creations from Ward Two of the Groovy Gurlz’s Asylum!

This one is made by Beth. The flower she used is gorgeous!

Umm, hello! I got to looking and thought the background stuff sure looked familiar. Looks like someone stamplifted my photo! hahaha

This is the Christmas card Beth made for me. It’s stunning and this picture does not do it justice. Again, gorgeous flower!!!

This one is Rosalien’s card. I love these stair step cards! I really like how Rosalien did the background around the oval! Very nice!
Rosalien

This is Dawn’s card. I love how she put Nicholette on the edge!!

This is Susan’s card. I LOVE how she used the skulls on the edge. I also love the monochromatic color scheme!
Susan

This is Jane’s card. Is Hilda bad to the bone or what? I love how Jane added the rhinestones. Too cool!
Jane

This is Wendy’s card. Isn’t the butterfly stunning?? I love it!! Love the colors and that patterned paper!
Wendy

This is Susan’s card. I love the image she chose for her card. I love the sentiment and the colors!
Susan

Peeps, do you know that blogs live off comments? That they die without them? Be sure to visit the Groovy Gurlz and leave ‘em some love!

Ok, one last thing while I’m in control…I heard this rumor that there’s going to be a DT call soon. So keep your eyes open!!

We’d love to see what you create!!! Leave your link below:

Beth — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 12:00:52 +0000

Happy Thursday, Groovy Friends!

This week is so exciting around here! We have a new batch of Groovy Gurlz to introduce you to ~ some you will recognize from last term, and lots of fresh talent, too! First, though, I want to express a huge, heartfelt thanks to the Gurlz who are moving on… Jennifer Olauson and Lisa Foster are incredible women and fabulous crafters and personally, my life is better for having gotten to know them here. I highly encourage you to tag these in your “blogs-to-watch” list!

The challenge this week coincides with the release of the Devil Dolls digis. Trick It… Or Treat It is our theme, brought to you by magnificent Margie Cortina! Naughty or Nice? Sweet or Sour? Create a Halloween card with a decidedly Tricky or Treaty feel! Heck – add some candy treats, even! This challenge is one for everyone!

I am so excited to show you the fabulous projects from the next generation Groovy Gurlz! FYI: This is the full team ~ we will be showing the awesomeness of the team in two Wards… one each week.

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~
