Onto the DT Postcard Samples!

Look at this precious layout DT leader Vicki Chrisman created using one of the Baby Girl Vintage Postcards! You can see more photos and get the details HERE on Vicki’s blog.



Next, DT member Anna Wight made this cute rustic style Halloween postcard and I want to know where Anna gets her perfectly rusted wire and stars from because I love it! You can see photos and get details HERE on Anna's Blog

DT member Pam Hooten added a postcard from the Story Time Kit to an old Bingo card and added some of little chipboard pieces with images - but I love the way Pam colored the little stamp of the sandman on the moon! You can see more photos and get details HERE on Pam's Blog.

Next, DT member Heidi Blankenship created a couple of different projects including this fun pot she decorated to hold treats. She hung her postcard to the front of the pot and used the little stamp set that comes with the Halloween Postcard Kit to stamp designs on twill ribbon to tie around the pot as well! You can see more photos and get all the details HERE on Heidi's blog.

Look at this wonderful sample DT member Vivian Peters created with the Story Time Postcard Kit! I love the beads and charms she hung from the bottom. The chipboard that come in the kits is soft enough to easily punch any extra holes. Vivian created a second postcard using the same kit and you can see all the photos and get the details HERE on Vivian's Blog.

I love this paper cone cornet that DT member Michele Kovack created to hold her Alice in Wonderland theme postcard from the Story Time Kit. Alice looks like she is standing in a nest and the colors all blend perfectly! I also like the way Michele stamped the back vertically. You can see more photos and get details HERE on Michele's blog.

Here is a super pretty Postcard that DT member Linda Duke designed using one of the images from the Baby Girl Postcard Kit. This would make a such a sweet baby gift! Linda decorated a second baby postcard and you can see more photos of both and read the details HERE on Linda's Blog.

I love how DT member Michelle van Etten came up with this great candle lantern idea, as you can see the front and back of the postcards and it looks so spooktacular! You can see more photos and read how she created the lantern HERE on Michelle's Blog.

I have to also tell you about 2 other fun challenges taking place right now that you can join in on!

Darlene Pavlick is hosting a challenge over at Papercraftplanet.com HERE to create a card using any of our products that is different than the regular A2 style card that opens on the side. So put your creative hats on and join in the fun! Here is Darlene's card and this little pumpkin head guy is one of my fav images in our Halloween Image & Journal Notes Booklet!

The other challenge is being hosted by Marcy over at Splitcoaststampers.com, click HERE to get info to use any of our products to create something with a 'fair style theme'. Here is an adorable page layout Marcy created using images from our Garden Creative Scraps and the 'Souvenir ticket' is from our Travel Creative Scraps. Check out these other great samples that others have posted HERE!
