Chalk Ah Lot Cafe DT Project ~ Sentiment

Hey everyone...this post is a bit late...but better late then never...lol...

no really I am so excited to tell you my news that I just don't know how to put it into words...

about a 1 1/2 weeks ago, I was on Facebook when  the

design team coordinator for Chalk Ah Lot Cafe

PM'd me and asked me to join her team at the

Chalk Ah Lot Cafe.... it's a Challenge blog using

Powdered Chalks

and using stamps from

Stamp N Plus Scrap N

So I could not pass up what a wonderful opportunity and kudos to me...

so with that then next thing I knew was I had this box on my door step...

OMG!!! HOW FUN!!!

I ALWAYS love mail...not bills...but fun mail...

and I opened it up and thought Christmas and Birthday was already over for this year...

but it was true, I got a HUGE start up kit from Chalk Ah Lot Cafe & Stamp N Plus Scrap N

I had picked out 12 different stamps and this is what I got... I got not only the 12 stamps but this HUGE kit of goodies to use for my design team assignment...

I got over 25 stamps...47 different powdered chalks...4 acrylic blocks all different sizes...some really neat Buzz N Magic paint... a fun feather pen ( to clean the work area off when done) oh yeah some really neat templates... this company and LuAnn are going to be great to work with ... I could not be more happy to represent such a cool stamp and chalk company...

Now for the Challenge card...we were challenged by using a sentiment....and as I had said before...I make cards for this company ... so you will see more cards on my blog...but I will continue to do my love and passion of 3D paper crafting...I just now have all kinds of goodies to work with now...

With this card there were 2 different ways of using the chalk...Direct to the paper and Versa Mark stamp covered by the Powered Chalk

So for my card I used versa mark to stamp the sentiment and covered  it with Blush chalk...then I used the cloud template that came with the kit to make the clouds using Sky and Dizzy Chalk... the sun has chalks Dandy and Sunshine....the grass is the same way ... 2 chalks Lime and Cool Green... added 3 flower brads and drew in the stems with a sharpie and added the frog button...I mounted this on a dark blue back ground and added some pink ric-rack...I love using all kinds of thing when creating card fronts...not all the chalks need a fixative as most have it in it...but I used some cheap aerosol hair spray to make sure to keep it all in place...

So with that... I encourage...no challenge you to make a card with a sentiment using this totally awesome powered chalk...and enter it in the Chalk Ah Lot Cafe Challenge page....

Just so you are aware... each Sunday I will be posting a new card for this team...and each week they have a challenge all lined up for us...so come back often and check out my new Design Team Assignment...
