I was so excited to see all of your colorful creations in our last challenge, so now it's time for something a little different. You may not have noticed, but I have a distinct appreciation for the stark simplicity of black on white and black is one of my favorite colors. What does it evoke for you? A dark night? A cat crossing your path? Maybe that perfect little black dress? Show us with your creations for this challenge!
Let's start by seeing what the ever awesome MayzyArt Design Team came up with...

Let's review the rules...
- The MayzyArt Challenge is open to anyone! All you have to do is create a card or paper craft project that matches the challenge's theme. It does not have to use a MayzyArt stamp.
- In order to enter, post a link to your blog post featuring the project. Please be sure that you list on that post that you wish to enter the project into the MayzyArt Challenge.
- There will be two winners of the MayzyArt Challenge! The first winner will be drawn at random from all entrants. That winner will receive 3 MayzyArt stamps of their choice. The second winner will be chosen only from those entrants that used a MayzyArt stamp in their project. It will be selected specifically by Mayzy and will be featured for the following two weeks on this blog. That winner will also receive 5 MayzyArt stamps of their choice!
- Entries must be received by Friday, June 29. The winner will be announced on June 30.
There you have it. Pretty straight-forward, eh? Have fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I am very excited to introduce to you the very first MayzyArt Design Team. I had so many amazing people apply, it was an extremely difficult decision. I want to thank everyone who applied!!
And now, in no particular order, the MayzyArt Design Team...
Jo Ann
Hi everyone. My name is Jo Ann and I am a happy
Stay-at-home Mom to my son who's 6 years old and a wife to my husband,
Joseph. I was born and raised in the Philippines but after marriage, I
came to San Antonio, Texas. I love almost all kinds of crafting...Creating
gives me a sense of fulfillment knowing that I give my best in everything I
do. After my son was born, I got into Scrapbooking to document my son’s
growth. Shortly after, I saw a magazine on Cardmaking and I was
hooked. I collected every tool available in the market, taught myself on
different techniques and started giving only handmade cards to friends since
2007. My biggest fan is my son who stays beside me each time I have a
project. I love it when he says, “Mommy, you made the most beautiful
card, ever!” I love my family and thank God for them everyday…
Mom to two wonderful adults, and a house full of animals - two dogs and
two
cats. I started scrapbooking 14 years ago and love to learn new
techniques. When Copic markers first hit the market I resisted ( for a
whole 2 months ), but temptation called and a new addiction bloomed! I
have completed both of the certification levels with Copic, and enjoy
sharing my
passion for coloring in classes and online. When the opportunity came
to
join the design team at Mayzy Art stamps, I jumped at the chance to be
part of
an exciting new challenge blog, and am so excited to join the other dt
members
and be part of this new adventure.
I have been rubber stamping since 1994 and started using digi stamps
sometime in 2010. I love working with them. I mainly color with Copics
but will break out my colored pencils and even my watercolors once in a
while. I love coloring and designing cards. I am married to my husband
of almost 30 years who supports my paper crafting addiction and just
smiles about all the stuff *cough* I mean supplies I have. I am
so excited to be part of Mayzy Arts design team and hope to inspire
many.
Hi!
My name is Darlene Lyons and I live in Ayr, Ontario. I am a SAHM
blessed with two beautiful girls Abigail and Hailey and a wonderful
supportive husband Todd, who gets the addict I've become since being
introduced to scrapbooking five years ago. After having my girls, I
needed some "me time" so I dabbled in all types of paper crafting, and
loved spending time with others who share the same passion for it.
After spending more time at the table than my girls colouring, I needed
to find an adult excuse to colour, which I found in Copics!! The only
thing I like more than creating is buying the things "I need" to
create! LOL With the encouragement of some close friends, I started a
blog at the end of this past year and haven't looked back once.
My name is Lisa and I live in Leicestershire in the UK with my husband
and
little pooch. I have been making cards since January 2010 and love
everything
about it. I don’t think I could ever get bored of making card and tags.
My card
making style is clean and simple. I’m not a big fan of using a lot of
embellishments on my cards. I am, however, I huge fan of patterned
papers and I
love to colour my stamped images!
I didn't have a creative bone
in my body until I decided I needed something keep me out of the cookie
jar. Short story even
shorter...I found card making in March of 2010 and a few months later
discovered copics and that's all she wrote...full blown addict to all
things copic, paper, digital stamps and rubber stamps! I didn't get
brave enough to start blogging and showing other crafters my work until
last June, but I'm so happy I took that leap and discovered the world of
blogging. I live in the beautiful Rocky Mountain state of Colorado
though I'm a born a bred Midwesterner. I hope everyone will enjoy
playing along with us and will enjoy these amazing digis even more.
Wow, have I got a lot to share with you today. First and foremost, I am super excited to announce that the Digi Dancers five pack is now available in my shop! I didn't think I'd have that completed until the weekend! Disco seemed to be a big hit, so I hope you'll like the rest just as well.
I love, love, LOVE the newsprint background! Seeing cards and projects that folks make using MayzyArt stamps just gives me warm tingles all over. You guys are awsomely amazing and I'm sending out big smooches to all of you!!
