City Crafter Challenge #78 - A Boo-tiful Color Challenge

Hi All! I'm so excited to be this week's hostess for City Crafter Challenge Blog! The theme this week is "A Boo-tiful Color Challenge". Your challenge is to PRIMARILY use the colors BLACK and CREAM on your project. I love Halloween and this color challenge is Halloween inspired, but your projects DO NOT have to be Halloween projects. Please REMEMBER that in order to be in the running for our prize, though, that we want to see projects that the MAJORITY of your project is using the colors BLACK and CREAM. You may use other colors, but the focus should be on BLACK and CREAM. We can't wait to see your BOO-TIFUL projects!

Get to know Stella.....

Hi everyone! My name is Stella Schenkel and I live with my husband in the northern part of the Netherlands (also called Holland) in Europe. I am a (very proud) mom of 2 sons of 24 and 20 years and working at the font office of an insurance company.

I started card making in the end of 2009 and am hooked ever since. I stated blogging in 2010 and CCCB has been the first challenges I joined. I play along most of the time since then (oh my is this English???). CCCB brought and is still bringing me so much fun since I joined them. A wonderful source of inspiration; an extremely talented DT who also are a group of wonderful women.

It was a lovely surprise when Kirsty asked me to be a GD and I am very very honored. I hope you all can play along this week!

Get to know Virginia....

I'm Virginia Lu from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I'm blessed with two wonderful children ad a loving and supportive husband. In my little world, I help manage my hubby's medical office. When NOT working, I love creating cards, making layouts and cooking yummy food. I fell in love with stamping and card-making over 16 years ago. However, I only became active and passionate about my hobby in Fall 2008. I haven't stopped since! I love working with all kinds of stamps, pattern paper, inks, digital images, embellishments and stickers! I love paper-crafting as it is so fun and therapeutic. I find myself thinking/dreaming about stamps as I love to maximize the use of each stamp in most creative ways. Currently I design for SRM Stickers and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog. You may find my cards in Paper Crafts (Jan/Feb 2012).

Guest Designer

Get to know Sandi....

Hi! My name is Sandi. I live in Massachusetts with my hubby, who is incredibly supportive of my scrapping obsession! We have three children and a dog and a cat, all of which I love to scrap.

I started scrapping about seven years ago, and have been addicted ever since! My scrapping style is colorful, artsy, simple, sometimes a deliberate messy, but over-all clean with crisp lines!

Get to know Jill.......

Hi! My name is Jill Sarginson and I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with my husband of 15 years and our daughter, Abigail. I have been scrapbooking for about 4 years now and it's developed into a major passion! I love to record the moments of our everyday lives. I mostly create layouts (both single and double pages) however I also love to make cards and do the odd altered proect. My style is hard to define - however I do have some elements that I tend to gravitate towards on almost all of my projects: distressing stitching and inking. Oh, and I love using circles.

I am a person on the go! When I'm not scrapbooking, you can find me at the gym, playing soccer or maybe training for triathlons. I also enjoy spending time with my family, the cottage life and reading.

I am very excited to be a guest designer for City Crafter Challenge Blog!
