Challenge #17 Last Reminder - All About Dad

Hey everyone!

Popping in for a couple reminders.  First don't forget we are sponsoring the current challenge at Card Makin' Mamas.  Click on the side bar link under the Y&FH is Sponsoring to pop on over there.  Their challenge ends tomorrow.  Lastly, you have until tomorrow to add your All About Dad card to our current challenge.  So far we've gotten some really fun and creative cards, but we're also seeing some that do not qualify and unfortunately those few will have to be deleted.  As a reminder read our rules before you link up, else your link will be removed.

Alrighty, for today's share I have two very CAS cards that would be perfect for those dad's/father figures who might not be in to a lot of fuss.  I used the same image, AJ, for both cards, sentiments from the AmyR All About Dad sentiments set and Spellbinders.

Two simple and quick cards for the no-fuss man in your life.  You can easily change out the sentiment but since this challenge is All About Dad the ones I used are perfect.  Yep these are two very CAS cards.  Alrighty you have until tomorrow, June 7th to link up. We'll announce the winners on Saturday.

Mark your calendars, our new stamp release previews start on Monday, June 10th and they will be available in our online store on Saturday, June 15th.  There is a potential for prizes, but you have to stop by to see how to win. 

That's all for me today.  Hope to see more of you link up your All About Dad cards for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to use in our online store and again for a chance to win another $15 gift certificate to our online store link up on the CMM blog challenge.

Have a great day and stop by tomorrow for some featured crafters using Yumi & Fumi Handmade images.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs,
Leanne

Challenge #17 All About Dad Reminder

Hello!  Just popping in to remind everyone of our Dad challenge going on right now.  Create any card or project with a Father figure in mind and don't forget to check our challenge rules to make sure your image will qualify for a prize and Top 3 honors.

Here is Denice's most awesome card!  She used Chase but he's looking a bit different, isn't he?  Denice borrowed the cap from Winter Yumi and created a very cool looking dad.  This card also opens up in a fun way so please check out Denice's blog for all the details!

This is my card featuring AJ Lion.  I wanted to use a different kind of image to create a fun card and play around with the sentiment too.

Hope this gets you all into a mood to create a Father's Day themed card!  You can upload your creation on to the original post HERE.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Challenge #17~ALL ABOUT DAD!

Good morning to all you lovely folks! Those of us in the U.S. are having a 3 day weekend for Memorial Day. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have served and are still serving in our military! We appreciate the sacrifices you have made to help keep us safe and protect our country! Thank you for all that you do!

Today starts a new challenge! For the next two weeks, the theme is:

ALL ABOUT DAD!

With Father's Day right around the corner it's a great opportunity to get started on those Father's Day projects. Today Leanne and I are sharing our creations with you and the rest of the team will follow up with additional inspiration later in the week. 

Here's a reminder about our rules...

The rules can be found in our Challenge info tab. Click here or click on the tab up top. Please make sure your card qualifies before you link up, otherwise we may have to remove your project.  The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to our online store.  That's right, you get to choose what you want! And we can't leave out our top 3, who will receive a 10% discount to our online store. 

We require an image for our challenges.  We are a stamp company after-all. :) If you use a Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamp on your project, you will be entered into the drawing twice. We realize some of you might not own one of our stamps so you may also use an image from Sister Stamp, La-La Land Crafts, The Greeting Farm or Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps. They won't count twice, but you'll qualify to be entered in the drawing. We hope you'll consider playing along. 

Now on with our cards!

Rosie using Chasezilla

Leanne using Bob the Yeti

(how CUTE is Bob with his stache...LOVE it!!)

Now it's your turn! We're looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations over the next two weeks. Challenge #17-All About Dad ends Friday, June 7th at Noon, PST. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great Sunday!!

Hugs,

Rosie & Leanne

Sponsoring Card Makin' Mamas Challenge #70

Hey everyone!  This is the 2nd post of the day, please scroll down to see who our Featured Friday crafters are.

Today I'm excited to announce that we're sponsoring Challenge #70 at Card Makin' Mamas!  Woo Hoo!!  Wow, I can't wait til we get that far!  (hehe)

http://cardmakinmamas.blogspot.com/

When Jessica emailed us and asked if we'd like to be a sponsor we were happy to say yes!  I have to give a shout out to the gals at Designed to Color for referring her over to us.  Thanks ladies!!  Muah! ;)

It's a whole new experience for us and we hope that you will head on over there and play.  It's a bi-weekly challenge and the ladies over there are so sweet, nice and super talented!  The challenge theme over there is a pretty simple one, "Rubber."  Use a rubber stamp on your project.  If you're a fan of ours then you know that's all we carry in our shop so if you plan to link up over there the easiest and most practical way would be to use one of our stamps yea?  hahaha!!  Now I'm just tootin' our own horn, but it's the honest truth.  Just to let you know you are welcome to use any image for their challenges but how cool would it be if you used a Yumi & Fumi stamp?  No pressure!  (hehe)

The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to our online store.  Please make sure you follow their rules so you don't miss out on the possible prize.  :)

Eva and I are playing a long with the ladies from CMM and here are our cards featuring Yumi with Book and Yumi & Fumi.

Friday's Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured?

Morning everyone!!

Happy Aloha Friday and hopefully a great start to the long Memorial Day weekend.

I'm going to jump right in to share my picks for this week's Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured.  I'm taking them from our current challenge because there were so many cool ideas and we had some new faces.  It's always nice to give them a warm welcome especially when they create such amazing crafts with our images. 

Here we go starting with this super cute "bookmark" created by alumnist Melissa O using Fumi with Messenger bag.  Love the colors and if you have to have a marker for your book, it should be something this cute!

Next up is this awesome tag created by one of the winner's from our Spread the Love event, Nicole Mullen.  She's sharing what she created with some of her prize package.  Featuring Fumi with Turtle... Wow, she really rocked this one out!!  This is awesome!!

Check this one out.  An altered clear frame with bright colors and a fun design.  Makes me think that summer is just around the corner and Yumi & Fumi are ready for it..  Well done Stephanie!!

Congratulations ladies!!  Please grab our badge below and we hope you display it on your blog.

Want to be featured on our blog and receive this adorable badge?  Join our challenges, post your cards and projects on your blogs, share on our Facebook page, and upload to Pinterest.  You can also leave a link in our comments section.  If you weren't featured today, no worries, there is plenty of time to be.  We'll be searching the web and maybe you'll be the next one on Friday's Where's Yumi & Fumi Featured.

Now, don't forget you have until noon pst today to link up your Anything But a Card project.  We've got some awesome projects linked up but we're ok with more.  :)  It's not going to be easy to pick.  So glad it's not me who has to do it.  (hehe) We'll announce our winner and top 3 from Challenge #16 tomorrow.  For now stop on over to those ladies blogs and leave them some love.

Before I sign off... Make sure to stop by later to see which blog challenge we are sponsoring.  We're super excited about it.  :)
