PSC#141 Let’s Go! Travel!
Welcome to the Poppystamps Challenge! We’re so happy you’ve stopped by, and we sure hope you’ll join us! On the first of the month, we announce a new Poppystamps Challenge with a central theme. The design team will provide samples for inspiration, and you can play along through the end of the month for your chance to win.
The winner of our blog badge for the Poppystamps Challenge #140 Things With Wings is Cindy C.
The lucky winner of the draw (chosen by random number generator) for the monthly prize is Susanbcards. Please contact me (Jeanne) at poppychallenge@gmail.com to claim your prize.
Want to play? The rules are simple – just create a project following the theme, use at least one Poppystamps image or die, and link it up here. The design we love best will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog, and one lucky random winner will receive a prize. You don’t have to have a blog to play. You can link to any online gallery. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Poppystamps image. We ask that you link a maximum of 3 entries to each challenge. You are welcome to link your design to other challenges. Grab our badge to post on your blog post or sidebar!
PSC#141 – Let’s Go! Travel – Summer, when the kids are out of school, is usually the time lots of us hit the road, or fly the friendly sky for a get away! This month we’d like to see a travel themed project. That could include your favorite mode of transportation or maybe your favorite vacation spot. If you’re not able to go, how about a sweet escape Staycation? Your project can be for any occasion (maybe a winter getaway?), and you’re not limited to making cards. We welcome home décor, page layouts, tags and everything in between! It’s your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps die or stamp on your project! You must use a Poppystamps product to be eligible to win!
Meet our August guest Barb Finnical selected by design team member Karen!
Our Guest Designer for August is my sweet creative friend, Barb Finnical. I met Barb through her faithful participation at the challenge blog I manage. What initially drew me to Barb’s art is her unique way of layering papers and making them come to life with texture and dimension. I also love the fact that Barb is a well-rounded crafter who enjoys card-making as well as crocheting, cross-stitching, using fabrics and repurposing for mixed media projects. I do hope you’ll stop by her blog to say hello and take a peek at her wonderful art. She’s very excited and grateful to be our Poppystamps August Guest Designer.

Hi! I’m Barb and I’ve been stamping for almost 20 years. I have always loved anything crafty. I started sewing my own clothes when I was in high school. From there, I started to cross stitch and later in life learned to crochet by watching YouTube videos. I scrapbooked for many years and then took up card making. It was a perfect way to be creative after my kids were grown. I love working with all types of products, and Poppystamps are some of my favorites. I especially love their Scandinavian/Nordic inspired products, and I’m thrilled to be this month’s Guest Designer on their wonderful team!
Need a little inspiration? Here are some samples from our design team. Want a closer look? No worries.. we’ll be featuring these projects on Wednesdays throughout the month, so you can see how each project was created.
