Sponsor Spotlight -- Crafty Sentiments Designs

Hi Lollipop fans.  Before we get down to business today, the Lollipop team wants to express our love and concern for those affected by Sandy.  I can't even begin to comprehend the disaster that some are dealing with.  Hugs to everyone!

I'm excited today to announce a new sponsor to Lollipop Crafts, Crafty Sentiments Designs.  They are sponsoring our current challenge which can be found here.  Now here's a bit about them.
Crafty Sentiments Designs was started in 2009 by Suzette Winch, the owner.  We carry our own brand of exclusive Rubber stamps, Digital stamps, Sentiments and cutting dies, perfect for all your scrapbooking and card making.

Now onto some creations from the DT using these darling images.

{coming soon}

Crafty Sentiments Designs will be giving one randomly chosen winner 3 digi images.  Don't forget to link up your Halloween projects here and then come back next Wednesday where more DT members will be showcasing projects using images from Crafty Sentiments Designs.

Challenge # 93 Halloween Treats-no cards

Well the spooky day will soon be upon us and we are bringing you a brand new challenge with a Halloween Theme.  We would like to see some projects using Halloween images/colors....just not a card this time around.  Could be a tag, altered item, book mark, treat boxes, anything you can come up with.
On Wednesday Alanna and her team will hightlight our sponsor and tell you all about the great prize for this challenge.

My team has some great projects to show you.

Cyndi created this great Halloween gift card


Sony had fun creating a couple projects for you : a fun pendant

and also a cute gift tag to match
Mimi did a fun treatbox for a birthday but with a Halloween twist!

and I (Tammy)had a blast making these sour cream containers for my son's preschool class.  Each one has a tootsie roll in them :)


We are excited to see what Spooktacular items you come up with for this challenge.

Now its your turn! Please remember to link directly to the blog post or gallery page where we can view/comment on your creation, and not just the generic link to your blog. Generic blog links will be disabled or deleted. You must create a new project. No backlinking please.

Sponsor Spotlight on Karber Stamps -- Week #2

Hi friends. In case you missed it last week, here's a bit more about our current sponsor, Karber Stamps.
Here's a bit about them.

KARBER is a company created by Karla Barradas and Berenice Rendon. All began for passion to art and crafts, as friends we decided to join our different talents. In July 2010 that journey would lead us from hobby to a business and “Karber Digital Images” was created.  Recently, Karber Digital Images expanded to offer it's customers rubber stamps available through Sparkle Creations Store (http://www.shop-sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/category/karber) and therefore,  have changed their name simply to Karber Stamps.  Visit Karber Stamps store at http://www.karberdigital.com/ or their blog at http://karbers.blogspot.com/.

This week's randomly chosen winner will receive 2 free digi images. How great is that?

Now onto some cards from our team using images from Karber Stamps.
