SDC33: Use Your Scraps with a Magical Mystery Tour (Blog Hop)

Join us for Stampotique's Magical Mystery Tour today.  Why a Magical Mystery Tour?  Comment on all the blogs and along the way we have 2 mystery prizes to give away.  Along with your tour you will see all the creations from our current challenge.

This begins your tour.
A few weeks ago, Valerie had us recycling and this week she has us cleaning house again!!!  She's challenging us to dig in our stash to see how many scraps we can use up in our projects.  Just about anything qualifies as a scrap - as long as you're utilizing a piece or part of something that you generated before but never used up... it counts!  So what will it be?  Bits of an old master board or freaky background?  Leftover pieces of your favorite designer paper?  Part of an old piece of grunge board?  Fragments of a previously inked image?  Or the remnants of some odd embellishment?  Let's see just how creative you can be!

Additional Prizes and a chance to be our August GUEST DESIGNER

As you make your way through the tour make sure you comment on each and every post. There will be 2 prize winners chosen randomly amongst the blogs.  For some additional chances to win another prize join us with our "Scraps" Challenge using your Stampotique stamps for your chance at a $30 gift certificate for Stampotique stamps or a chance to be our August Guest Designer, which we will randomly draw winners of each of those.

Our tour will end on June 28th and the winner or the 2 tour prizes will be announced on our blog on June 29th.  Our challenge, however will be open until July 12th.

You will want to jump on over to our challenge hostess, Valerie to see what kind of scraps she has used on our Magical Mystery Tour.

Here is the master list if you get lost along your tour:

SDC32: Clean & Simple- Group 2

Joanne is our current hostess and she has chosen the theme Clean and Simple (CAS). If you've ever visited her blog, you know that she loves the CAS style. What do we mean by CAS? Minimalistic designs, empty spaces. I know some people find this style difficult, but it can be very cleansing artistically to give it a try.

This week you can use any stamps you would like but please only enter once and link directly to your creation here for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate to Stampotique.

Here's group two's creations-these are some phenomenal clean & simple cards!
