LSC159 - Tool Free
 

This week, we are getting back to the basics and playing with our paper, stamps, and ink... and any embellishments that don't require any special tools. Why???

We are going tool free! :eek:

Keyword: LSC159

You can use:
a standard cutter
standard everyday scissors
sponges
coloring tools
any embellishments that don't require a special tool

You may not use:
punches, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Crop-o-dile, paper piercers, heat embossing, decorative scissors, sewing machine, tearing edge, cutter kit.... or any other specialized tool I probably forgot to list. ;)

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

but since I've been unable to stamp (aside from the SCS Shoebox last Sat) for 2 weeks...I'm just rooting for the rest of you!

Sounds like fun, Jen. Thanks

OOH! A toughie!!! Off to think!

Thanks Jen!

Sounds fun! Now I won't have to keep getting off my chair because I forgot something....all I need will be in front of me!

will do this tomorrow morning!

Thanks Jen!

No paper piercer huh? Well, I'm pretty good at making holes with a pair of plain everyday scissors! Cool challenge, Jen!

ooohh! sounds fun... and quite a challenge for sure... yikes, no tools?! I love my tools...lol! I will try it!

Sounds like a hard one. I'm going to miss my paper piercer. Thanks for posting early.

This sounds like great fun Jen, thanks for another cool challenge.

Ohhh...
can't wait, I will have to try this in the AM, too tired right now, but I have some papers out and scraps from scrappin....and this would be great for me to use it on!!

now this will be interesting, jen! i have to play catch up tomorrow and this weekend, so i hope i can do one of these!

thanks for the awesome challenge.

LOL what if a friend punches something out for you because you don't have the tool?

Can I push a brad through my cardstock - or is that a tool???

I was acutally working on Stamp Camp projects for tomorrow night and the one I was busy working on when Jen posted fits the challenge perfectly.

Missing You Puppy

Oooh, Jen, this looks fun! I will hopefully get to work on it tomorrow!

Sounds easy enough, if I don't forget and use a no-no tool! Thanks, Jen.

LOL! There's always one in every crowd. :p

Brads are fine. ;)

ok no seriously lol. I did this card 2 days ago but when I got done coloring and matting it I realized that I don't own a word window punch so I e-mailed my friend and she sent them out the next day and since she lives so close I got them today and finished the card lol. SO SEE NO TOOLS!

Here's my card: http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...00&ppuser=7104

But someone would need the tool to CASE it. ;)

Let's make some great samples without punches and tools for new members in the gallery. :cool:

So fun!!

I have club tomorrow and JJstamper is coming from CA. I will try to do this on Saturday.

LOL I know I just found it funny that this was the challenge. I will try and make something before I go to work tomorrow.

Great challenge Jen. I made this card in about 10 min. so it's nothing too special but I hope you still like it!
