<p>Here at Stampavie we&#8217;re very, very busy behind the scenes.</p>
<p>Pssssssssstttt&#8230;. don&#8217;t tell anyone, but four incredible illustrators have this month joined Stampavie and are right this moment busy drawing the cutest stamps ever! Add to that our existing illustrators who are also busy working on new collections and you&#8217;ll realise we&#8217;re really planning a treat for your acrylic blocs and ink pads  <img src='http://www.stampavie.com/dt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I want to show you an additional surprise for the lucky winner of our first Stampavie challenge.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1100" title="candy for challenge #1" src="http://www.stampavie.com/dt/uploads/2009/05/jay-candy.jpg" alt="candy for challenge #1" width="500" height="442" />You&#8217;ve all seen the prize, BUT&#8230;I just dislike sending prizes in a plain bag or box.  So this is what I made for our first challenge winner, Kay. It&#8217;s a 7&#8243;x7&#8243;x1/2&#8243; package where the goodie bag was packed inside.</p>
<p>I thought that the Happy Piggies from the new Spring collection from Rachelle Anne Miller would be perfect for this little extra. So as you see&#8230;when you read &#8220;surprise&#8221; as a prize for our challenge, it really means surprise! <img src='http://www.stampavie.com/dt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Of course we&#8217;re always putting some nice goodies together, but we like to add the little extra from the heart with a hand crafted something to go with it. I also wanted to let you know that I don&#8217;t have those extras in stock, but every time a winner gets drawn, I take a look on their blog and only then I sit down and craft something unique and especially for this one person as here at Stampavie everyone is special to us.</p>
<p>I truly believe that any person that gives the effort to join our challenge and then is lucky enough to be drawn by random.org, deserves the customized extra gift. Just as you have been sitting down, making the card for the entry-that&#8217;s how I will sit down and make the gift to say Thank you for your effort.</p>
<p>I also want to encourage beginners. You see, really everyone has the chance to win, so don&#8217;t hold back because you&#8217;ve just started and think that your card is not &#8220;worthy&#8221; to be shown off.  We all started once and if I look back on my first stamped creations &#8230;.oh dear lol <img src='http://www.stampavie.com/dt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Wishing you all Happy stamping!</p>

If you would like to see some of the Leere Images &#8211; check out these cool projects that our DT members came up with:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Claudia (<a href="http://rosaswelt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://rosaswelt.blogspot.com/</a>)</p>

<p>Michelle (<a href="http://www.donkeysmiles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://www.donkeysmiles.blogspot.com/</a>)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my project, a <strong>Shopping bag/book</strong> using the Leerè Aldrich collection.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I had great fun creating this one. The stamps are just so fun, easy and quick to color!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Before I got started I asked myself what does EVERY woman need?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A <span style="text-decoration: underline;">handbag</span>, right <img src='http://www.stampavie.com/dt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  It should be a handy size and fancy looking.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We also need a credit card to go with it, and what does every crafting woman need? You all know this&#8230;stamps, papers, die cuts, embellishments&#8230;the list is always pretty endless LOL as we always NEED something to add to our crafting stash.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Now what if the credit card says NO for this month and we need to be patient, but we&#8217;ve seen so many of those MUST HAVES&#8230;..then we need a notepad to write everything down so that as soon as the credit card says GO again, we don&#8217;t waste any time searching for all of those items again.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">So I thought why not combine it all? and VOILA&#8230;may I present you my <strong>shopping bag/book</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Made out of 1/8&#8243; thick card board and covered with We R Memorykeepers Tiffany papers, lots of bling, the unlimited credit card (I wish I had one) and of course the Leerè Shopping Girl!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Inside I&#8217;ve got the ring binder mounted and 3 different colours of note cards. If you really want to have your wish list organized, then you could add tabbed dividers and separate categories like &#8220;papers&#8221; then &#8220;stamps&#8221; etc.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">DH stated that this purse was a cheaper solution than all those designer hand bags out there. (*grin*) if only he knew about all of the secrets the bag is going to hold inside <img src='http://www.stampavie.com/dt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1000 aligncenter" title="Leerè shopping bag/book" src="http://www.stampavie.com/dt/uploads/2009/04/dsc007681.jpg" alt="Leerè shopping bag/book" width="450" /></p>

<p>This card was worked using a sketch for the Friday Sketcher blog. I used some of the wonderful fresh spring papers that i have found in my local Scrapbook store. I wanted to show how cute the Sarah Kay images work for every time of the year! They just make lovely cards for every age group! The papers are modern but with the big &#8220;vintage&#8221; Melissa Frances embellishment i toned it down a bit. I added some Stickles to this element to make it pop out even more. The image is colored and airbrushed with Copic Sketch markers. I will give you the numbers at the bottom of this posting.</p>

I love the combination of olive with pink. I  thought that look<a href="http://www.stampavie.com/dt/uploads/2008/12/love-you-ewe1.jpg">s cute with the sheep stamp from the </a><a href="../../rachelle-anne-miller-animals-c-18_24.html">Rachelle  Anne Miller Collection</a>. Take a look at all the RAM stamps there are so many cute images there that can be used for your Valentines projects. The pink CS is embossed with CB hearts folder and on  the raised hearts i applied Pebbles Shimmery Chalks so they stand out a bit  more. The grass and some of the swirls <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">around</span> the sheep are hand sketched by me. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sheep&#8217;s</span> are colored in  with several shades of Warm Grey, Cream and Pink <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Copic</span> Sketch Markers.</p>

<p>some may recognize the tin.. it is usually kind of like a turquoise blue &#8211; i  spray painted the tin first with metal gold and than added the K&amp;Company  paper to the top and glued the ribbons on.</p>
<p>Thank you for looking i hope i could inspire you to not only use those fabulous images on cards.. they make fabulous altered gift items as well</p>
