Good morning everybody! Thank you for joining me for my 2nd throwback Thursday challenge! I got the BEST feedback last week & I'm hoping this week will be the same or even Greater!

If you do Not own this cartridge, that's okay, you can still participate by using these colors in the project of your choice! Brown, Blue & Red! Just like I explained last week, I want you to "Think Outside the Box" & make your project "Your Own Original Idea"! ;) Here are the details:

hugs
bummed I won't be able to participate this week...I'll try for next thursday!
ReplyDeleteI'm traveling this weekend, but I have an idea for a card. Can we use other colors too or just red, blue and brown? I would like to add a couple of colors with my design. Thanks -
ReplyDeleteHey Emma, Loved your card but your boys stole the show. They are adorable. Kelly
ReplyDeletek.krohe@yahoo.com
very very cute, Emma! Those faces are one of my personal faves! Hugs, Angelica
ReplyDeletep.s. Maybe I can sneak away for a few hours this weekend to do the challenge. :)
Emma - too too cute! That little face stamp makes the hugest difference. Love it!! Can't wait to get started...I think 8:30 is too early to put the little one down for her nap. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think this may have been the first cartridge I purchased! I love how inspiring you are Emma I've yet to make a card this beautiful with this cartridge. I will be participating. Keep on inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Raven
LOVE LOVE LOVE your card and the stamps are just too cute. Bless those boys of your they are sooooo
ReplyDeleteamazing and adorable.
I love this card. So Cute!!! I just wanted to add that if you want to use a card that's already on a cartridge but don't want the score marks they create you can take them off with the hide button on your gypsy. :) My new favorite feature!! Have a great day.
ReplyDelete~Star
Love the card Emma hoping to join in this week ! Your boys are a hoot ! Have a great day !
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so funny! I'm sure there is never a dull moment at your house!!! I love this card. The frame work is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how your doodling just makes the card. I went to michael's last weekend and got some gelly roll pens to try it myself. The swirly cut you used turned out beautiful. Off to create.

Watching you use a Gypsy, really makes me think I need to let my Hubby know that I NEED one. :) You're boys are so cute! TFS! Throwback Thursdays are becoming my favorite days!! Thanks Emma!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteYour card is way too cute! :) And I actually have this cartridge (got it at Big Lots). If only my craft room was unpacked...I still haven't gotten any Peachy Keen stamps (mainly because I can't decide which ones to get-I want them ALL and coming to your blog doesn't help-lol!). It would be so wonderful to win a set.
Your boys are so adorable!!! It's fun that they want to be involved.
Take care,
Jennifer
Ok, I'm loving that cake face! If I don't win them here, I will have to get them!
ReplyDeleteWOW that card turned out super cute! I love those PK faces too I've never seen that set before!
ReplyDelete~Renae
Emma you come up with the best cards really I love all your work and all you do for us thank you my "Craft Buddy" I hope I win, but I have no luck :)
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying these challenges. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard to see but my card (#5) says, I Scream, You Scream. And the inside says We all scream for Ice Cream.
Thanks for helping me "Stretch my Imagination." :)
this was a blast. I think i'm going to make a second and maybe a third project with these colors, and post them on the same blog post ( so you can see) since i now have a ton of scraps!!
ReplyDeletethanks again for all the fun challenges
How funny! I just used Stretch you Imagination for the Peachy keen Challenge... It is one of my favorite favorite cartridges. http://www.scraps4fun.com/
ReplyDeleteCute card. Very funny video with the boys. Anthony reminds me of my son, Michael - oh how they make us laugh! I'll try and put together a project for later. TFS.
ReplyDeleteJust posted my card. That was a bit harder than I expected trying to decide what cut to use.
ReplyDeleteYou never stop amazing me. I love the card. I have the cart and never saw that kind of potential. PK stamps really add a lot to a project. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat Throwback Thursday once again Emma! I am really getting into these! Thank you for the inspiration!

I love your site and videos. Your oldest son has a giant smile and he doesn't break from it no matter what's happening with the younger boy whose apparently the clown of the family. They are fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot to post a comment. I really love throwback thursday! It's so much fun! Thanks Emma!

I just added my project!! :o) Thanks for such a great giveaway and challenge!! JenBrierley2 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteHi Emma. These challenges are such a great idea. I'm so glad you used red, it's my favorite color! I'm #39 and I don't have a blog so I thought I'd give you a short rundown. I used SYI for the frames (sized with my gypsy), word art, shells and sand castle. Taking a picture of a 12x12 LO is kinda hard. The pictures look fuzzy, but they aren't in real life. Thanks!

Emma! I just love those new peachy keen stamps! You are going to convince me that I need to buy them after all, aren't you! LOL! So cute! Wish I had time to play along with you... but alas... the second Hello Thursday is less than a week away, so I better get in gear!
ReplyDeleteGypsy hugs right back at cha! ;-)

Boy Emma - It takes me a LONG time to think outside the box. I am such a beginner still - thanks for inspiring me. I used my gypsy girl to weld and cut the flower pot but the handle was too flimsy so I ended up putting the whole thing on some cardstock and making a bigger card. Hope you like it!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!! Jenny

Hi Emma. I got home early enough to make an entry, but I can't find Mr. Linky to hook it up to. I sent you an E-mail about it, but I'll just go ahead and put my blog down to show that I did do the project. Thanks ... Lucy Lam

Emma, loves these challenges. They really are making me think about a few of them. I didn't think Red, Brown, and blue of a color palette I normally use so it was truely a challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri
this was a lot of fun. thanks emma!

Emma - What another great challenge! Can't wait 'til next week and I hope I win those Laffy Taffy Stamps ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Emma! This is my first challenge for your blog. I really tried to "think outside the box", but maybe only my subject meets that qualification. I did hand cut all of the pieces for the cube. Any who, really liked the challenge, it made me think!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much this is my first time doing one of these.
ReplyDeletejust entered ! this is fun Ive never been into challenges before! thanks Emma

Hi Emma!! Glad Mr Linky is working now!! I'm post #118!! This was a good challenge!! These colors were not something I would of put together by myself, so I definately "had to think outside the box"!! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteemma...i do have SYI but I made this card last night and one of my bloggers gave me the heads up on the colors I used and your throwback TH. The brown could be the kraft paper and/or some of the stiches/dots.
ReplyDeleteHugs 2 U my dear emma!
Love the colors, I needed to do a baby shower card for this weekend so it motivated me for sure! Thanks!
ReplyDeleterbaq12@yahoo.com
Hi Emma! I have been following you for a while and am very excited to take on your challenge! The colors were outside of my norm, but I hope you see that I tried to ssstttrrretch my imagination! Thanks for being you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that there's some new stamps!!
ReplyDeleteWhew... I think I made it just in time. This is my first time linking... so I am glad it worked. I loved this challenge. I needed to make some Thinking of You cards for my Mom that did not have "Pink" in it... thus able to give to a guy/couple. Red, Blue and Brown challenged me to think a little. This is fun!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma! I am super excited that I enter... Well I hope I made it in on time not sure the time difference.
