CMM76 | Thankful Tidings

Welcome to the November Edition of Card Makin' Mamas Challenges!

This month our CARD challenge has an anonymous sponsor!
One of our readers wanted to donate a prize without all the fuss and hoopla, so who are we to argue?!

This month's theme is: Thankful Tidings
We are looking for cards that feature ***SENTIMENTS*** of Thankfulness or Gratitude. Feel free to include other design elements as well, but the sentiment is required.

DT Adina | #98 Wishcraft

The soft tones and beautiful addition of the glitter, lace, ribbons and gloss make this card such a sweet little gift for any little baby girl!

DT Lilia | #47 JanR

I love this stunning fall card! Colouring is just perfect and looks great with chosen dp, twine and colourful leaves!

DT Penny | #77 Debbie S

I struggle with boy themed cards so this cute kid card made me smile , all the elements work well.

DT Susan | #80 Pat K

I love the design and image which is beautifully coloured. The paper pieced shirt looks fabulous with that lovely gingham paper, perfect for the cowboy theme. The stitching around the image is so neat and draws your eye in to the image. Love it!

DT Angi | #184 Jennifer Scull

**"Great, Scull!" Having a male teenager in the house means I'm always on the lookout for a great design that's not girly, no foo-foo embellishments, no glitter, etc. but still has style and appeal. Fab card, Jennifer; you've got it all! (**"Great Scott!" was a Superman catch phrase...is my geek showing?!)

Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

If you would like to be considered for a DT Fave create your card following the guidelines and theme of the challenge, take well lit pictures and show us your best work!

Design Team Favorites

where the Design Team chooses one of your cards and gives YOU a creative high five!

DT Adina | #28 Wishcraft

I just love the repeated use of mustaches here and how the color scheme is simple but becomes elegant on this card!

DT Susan | #44 Cheremane

What a fabulous and ingenious card! The wallpaper has been made by stamping and love how it is curling over just like wallpaper does! The paint splat looks fab and just love how she has just a zap of the blue. The whole card looks brilliant - well done.

DT Lilia | #47 Crafty Math Chick

I love how all the details on this card come together - beautiful black border, sheer white ribbon, yellow rhinestones and pins - to accent a message of a beautiful sentiment!

DT Angi | #81 Julie T.

Wonderful job of mixing up the pattern papers. Great use of the black and white to make your color choice pop! Not to mention this is such a sweet birthday card!

DT Penny | #15 scrappellen

I was really impressed with how well you worked with such a vibrant green and your project really pops. Thanks for sharing with us at Card Makin Mamas.

DT Susan | #67 scrappellen

I love everything about this. The images are so cute and the colouring is fabulous. Love the embossing and the lovely attention to detail with the inside being so beautifully finished off.

DT Adina | #112 Carol Gill

I love the use of white on white for the monochromatic effect. The result is very elegant and beautifully clean!

DT Vikki | #128 lyn t

I love the robot image and the way you've coloured him to have that rounded look. The embossed cogs look great- the vellum makes it really stand out and stitching it is a great extra detail. Fab!

DT Angi | #143 Debbie

 Great monochromatic card, Debbie! Love the variations of color and how feminine your design elements are...the flowers, lace, ribbon...so pretty together!

If you would like to be considered for a DT Fave make your card following the guidelines and theme of the challenge, take good pictures and show us your best work!

CMM74 | For the Kids sponsored by Bugaboo

Welcome to the September Edition of Card Makin' Mamas Challenges!

Are YOUR kids back in school yet? (Cue the "It's the most wonderful time, of the year" song...) Does the return to a schedule give you more or less time to get crafty?? 

WELL, we do hope that you have time to jump in and play along with this month's challenge, which is totally dedicated to those wonderful KIDS!

Our challenge this month is sponsored by the wonderful BUGABOO STAMPS!

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay:

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

They will be offering the winner of this challenge  FREE DIGIS

So pack the kiddos off and get ready to get crafty! Need a little inspiration? Look and see what our Mojo Mamas created!

CMM73 | Black, White plus (1) Color sponsored by Jessica

Welcome to the August Edition of Card Makin' Mamas Challenges!

Can you believe it's already August?! Even with school out in some places (back in school already in others!) and those on holiday, you Mamas (& Papas) didn't disappoint!

And THANKS to those of you that leave lovely comments after linking up! Our Design Team appreciates the love and feedback. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you stopped by their blog to tell them personally...just sayin'. 

Our challenge this month is sponsored by our very own Jessica, the owner of Card Makin' Mamas! She has a mystery box of goodness for one lucky link up!

This month's theme:

CMM73 | BLACK,  WHITE  +1 COLOR of your choice

This one is pretty self explanatory, but feel free to leave questions in the comments...your CARD should only have ONE color and black and white. It seems we're on a bit of a color control kick aren't we? Bwahahaha! Do you accept the challenge?

Need a little inspiration? Look and see what our Mojo Mamas created!
