Contest Time! "Ink" Outside The Box!   (26 comments, 783 views) Tuesday, 17 July 2007
That's right everyone, I've decided to have some fun with the next contest. Maybe it's my crazy pregnancy hormones or my insane creativity but I thought it would be great to have you all join in the fun. There are not a lot of rules with this contest either just two major things to remember:

1. NO layouts.
2. NO cards.

Now of course you are probably thinking, Huh? But you read correctly. This isn't necessarily a paper craft contest. It's a think outside the box, have some fun with it, get as creative as you can contest. Still confused? Well here's what made me come up with the idea. Now don't laugh, I'm pregnant remember, which can make one do crazy things, but man did I have fun with my stamps this day...haha!

Getting a better picture of what we are looking for? Basically we want to see the most creative, crafty, unconventional use of our stamps. The sky is the limit. This can be home decor projects or anything else your little heart desires to stamp. Just remember to keep it safe, stamping Happy Birthday! on the hood of your neighbors car with Stayz On, might not be a very good nor "safe" idea..haha. Other than that, I am not going to give any ideas, I want you to think them up yourselves.

**Things You Need To Know**

We will be judging all entries on creativity, originality and craftsmanship(good quality of stamped images).
We will choose 3 winners. 1st, 2nd & 3rd place.
All entries are due by Aug 31st. Please put a link and title of your entry in this blog post so that your entry is not overlooked.
Please only use Technique Tuesday stamps on your entry, since this is a TT contest. ;)
You can enter as often as you like but you can only win one spot.

If you have any questions please post them here and I will answer them as soon as I can.

Good Luck & Happy Stampin' !
Danea

So as always I try and turn the "box" upside down and embellish it!

here are my out of the box entries:

A little TP for TT:

And Toe Bling:

I challenged myself to think WAY out of the box since I have already altered everything else, this was all I had left!

supplies for TP for TT:
toilet paper; staz-on ink, jet black; stamps: technique tuesday Old World Square and Provence capital large; and swarovski crystals


supplies for toe bling:
one funky toe, staz-on ink, jet black; swarovski crystals, and clear coat of nail polish.

thanks for peeking, I had fun with this one and will still try and think of more!

Here is a sunshine album that I did. I made it out of paper bags and scrap supplies. On another MB we are making these for kids with cancer.

I used Technique Tuesday ink and the following TT stamps:

Pieces of the Puzzle (my absolute favorite right now!)
Olde world squares
Serendipity Lower letters (large)
Whispy gigs

I am so please with the way it came out and to know that some beautiful girl will call this her own, makes me so happy!

Jennifer priest...Awesome Idea! Love it.
http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/106702/view/1015129/-1/0/1.html

Ohhh, I love this one. So cute. My baby is due in march...might have to make one of these. I think this is the perfect follow up to Danea's idea. First the tummy and then the onsie.

Oh Danea...loved that you dated your belly! Super cute!
