DT Judy - Antique Car Love

Judy here, my turn to show you my project using kraft or coloured paper for this week's challenge.   I decided on kraft paper because I have hoarded lots in my stash.  I used this lovely antique car called car 4 from the interesting collection of cars digital images at Fitztown. 

The textured kraft paper is  from a friend that is a stain glass artist.  Her large pieces of glass come wrapped up in this interesting paper. 

I coloured the antique car with Copic Markers, white gell pen and pencil crayon.  I added diamond glaze to the head lights , stapled the travel background paper to the card stock and added the hand and sentiments by Tim Holtz to show case my digital image.  Both the hand and the sentiment were also stamped on kraft paper. 

There still is time to join in this challenge.  Just create  your card and enter it here.

GD Jacqui

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a happy, healthy and crafty New Year.

Jacqui here with my first post for Fitztown in 2014. 

For my first project on the blog I'm using the image LE 5 the last enchanters LE kids by Ariana Soares which you can find here http://www.fitztown.com/the-last-enchanter.html

This is the first image I've used from Fitztown and I'm totally loving them and can't wait to get my next one. I coloured this with Promarkers then cut it out with a Tonic die (loopy lace). For the background I used a Justrite stamp and Versamark on black card with a cosmic shimmer lustre embossing powder. Kraft card is my new favourite toy at the minute so I embossed a piece for my mat with another embossed white piece behind, then added a small green net bow with a black gem, this is my top layer. I found a matching piece of blue card (in the bit box that we all have) lol. I used the matching Tonic loopy lace punch down both sides and matted it on some white with some blue ribbon on the corner and this is my 2nd layer. I used my trademark 8x8 card with a Kraft card mat and some green netting on top as my base layer. I finished by adding some bling with silver gems down the left side of my top layer and some blue and green on the right side of my 2nd layer to finish with . I really hope you like what I've made and please let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to join us for Challenge #18 - Kraft Paper. We'd love to see your creation with Kraft paper.

Challenge #18 Coloring / Using Kraft Paper

Hello crafters and welcome to join our #18 challenge here at Fitztown. It is a second challenge on this year. With this theme you can color on Kraft Paper or just use one somehow. I don't own any pencils could be colored to Kraft Paper so I just use it on my card. Welcome all!

Ema

Guest Designer for January / February

Hello, my name is Ivette and I was born and raised in NYC. In 2002, I retired as a Police Officer from the NYPD's Pickpocket Unit. I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley in upstate NY with my family and dogs. I've been creative since I was a little girl and it all started with a coloring book, crayons and a dare.

I teach paper crafts, stamping and mixed media at private events and retreats in the tri-state area. Currently, I am a Certified Paper Ed instructor at Michaels Arts & Crafts and I am Copic Certified. I've attended several workshops with Tim Holtz, Finnabair and Kathy Orta from Paper Phenomenom. 

My style leans more towards Steampunk and Vintage. I love photography, horses, the color red and I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan. My favorite motto comes from Yoda, "Do, or Do not... there is no TRY!"

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and being a guest designer for Fitztown.

Kaija Friday (Anything Goes #17)

Kaija here, with my Friday DT-card for the current challenge, "Anything Goes."

You can create whatever you want.

This is my first time to use this lovely Fae 16 digital image from Morgan Fitzsimons.

I have sewn the edges of the background papers.

I like to use a lot of layers; lace, ribbon, pearls and glitter.

This is how I made my card today.

You are welcome to join us for the current Anything Goes Challenge!

Hugs Kaija!

Welcome friends and fellow bloggers! We are so happy to have you join us in 2014! We trust you had a safe and happy holiday with family and friends. Now, let's get busy crafting! We hope to see you more often in the new year and in order to help with that, Fitztown has made some HUGE changes!

Fitztown now has TWO design teams to inspire you! We have Team A made up with Ema (that's me!), Judy and Kate. We have Team B made up with Sande and Kaija. Sande and Judy have graciously accepted to be the Team Leaders. Judy will Lead Team A and Sande will Lead Team B. Team Leaders will be writing the challenge posts. We're still on the look out for five more permanent team members but in the meantime we have Guest Designers helping us out. For January and February, we have Jackie Cornfield, Penny Odell and Jacqui Robinson. Our former DT member Deni Sargeant has returned as a Guest Designer as well. Jackie and Deni are joining Team B and Jacqui and Penny will be with Team A. Yay teams! :)

We've also changed the schedule for our challenge blog. We will now be having weekly two-week challenges! I hope that is not confusing! All of our challenges will run for two weeks and there will be a new challenge starting every Monday. I worry I do not know how to explain it clearly so if you have any questions, please comment and I will be happy to try a different way to explain it. You can always just keep tabs on Mr. Linky below as well. Challenges will run TWO weeks from Monday until Sunday.

Prize packages remain the same. You can use any image to participate in the challenge but in order to win the top prize you MUST use a Fitztown image. TOP 3 will be chosen from ALL entries and will receive a coupon for a 50% digi. In order to have a winner, we must have at LEAST one participant use a Fitztown image. If there are OVER 10 participants, we will use Random.org for the winner. In order to have a TOP 3, we MUST have at least 10 participants. If under ten participants, DT Coordinator will be choosing the winner and TOP 3. As DT Coordinator, as long as the entries remain under ten, I will be choosing the winning entry and I will always chose the TOP 3. Winner and TOP 3 will be announced the Sunday following the week challenge ends.

So for this challenge, you have until January 19th midnight EST. Winner and TOP 3 will be announced Sunday, January 26th.

Judy's Winter in Blue and White - Challenge #16

Hi, Judy here. Happy New Years.  It is the first Thursday of this new year and my turn to show you my second challenge card for the "Winter in Blue and White"  challenge at Fitztown.  

I used Fitztown's image from their winter collection called Winter 8, you can find the image here.  I used a few different products to make my card including the interesting flower and lace ribbons I used on my card.  The flower and lace ribbons came in a bag I found at a local thrift store. I think it is very old lace and a great additive for my card.

I also used my Copic Markers, punched glittered snowflakes, glitter and white flower soft.   I think these  elements give the card more of a wintery look.  There is still time to join in this challenge.   Remember my favourite quote by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

Hope you all have a very creative 2014!

Sande's Wednesday (Winter challenge)

Sande here, with my Wednesday DT posting for our current challenge "Winter/Blue/White". I have used this lovely image which can be found on Winter collection number 10 at Fitztown store. I have colored her with my Copics and all the supplies are from my stash. If you want to buy some images and can't find it in the shop, please send an email to this address: sales@fitztown.com with the link to the image (posting) you wanna have. They are stocking the store and the all images may not be there yet.

Come to join at fun!!

Winner for Challenge #15 Easel Card

Thank you to everyone who entered our Challenge #15 Easel card.

A big thank you to all our participants!

Unfortunately, for this challenge we do not have a winner. No one used a Fitztown image, but I did love all the cards that were entered. There were not enough entries for a TOP 3 as well. I guess the holiday season proved to be way too much for some crafters!

Thanks for joining our challenge! 

We hope you participate in our current Challenge #16 Winter/Blue/White Theme.
