4th of July

Hello and good afternoon.  I didn't make as many 4th of July cards as I wanted, so you may see a few more patriotic cards over the next few weeks.  I will use some for Labor Day and then save others for next year.   Since this one has firecrackers on it, I will save it for next year.

The image is from Doodle Pantry.  They are some great set.  If you haven't seen them, go check them out.  Since my red stickles was still out, I added some glitter.

I have been bad about not finishing the inside, so I pulled out my Craftin Desert Divas' Celebrate Freedom set and used two of the sentiments inside, plus I put some red and blue stars at the bottom corner.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:

  Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch #307

Time to make some thing sweet for dessert tonight.  Chat with you later.

Bugaboo

Hello and Happy 4th of July to all of the US residents.

Just a quick one.  It is for Bugaboo.  I am doing both of their challenges in one card.  I love Ava and Deacon digitals.  They are always so cute.  I was going to make the hearts shining but I could find my bottle so I went with stickles instead.

I used red as my main color but there is some pink and blue in there.  I think these are my three go to colors.  Little boys just need to wear blue and what girl doesn't have a pink dress.


I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Bugaboo Weekly Challenge - Photo
   Bugaboo Stella Sketch - Sketch #310
   Crafting When You Can - Favorite Colors

I will chat with you tomorrow.  Have a great night.  Sleep well.

Hedgehog

Hello again.  One last one for tonight.

I really wanted to use the From The Heart monthly image.  It is just so cute.  I have a friend who has a pet hedgehog so I am going to send her the card as a surprise.

I originally printed the hedgie too big so I have some extra images.  I will do another card later. Or a candy box.  That would be cute.  Something to think about.

I used one of my texture folders on the white card.  I just don't like empty space on a card.



I am using it in the following challenges:
   From the Heart - Mthly Progressive
   Just Add Ink - Sketch #268
   Crafty Sentiments - Summer
   Cupcake Inspiration - Green & White
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

Chat with you tomorrow.

Ice Cream

Hello.  I am late getting started today.  I cleaned most of the day.  I have been cleaning out drawers in my craft room.

I really wanted to make a card with the Imagine That monthly image.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, so I printed it big.  So the card turned into a basic card.  I like how it came out.


I am using it in the following challenges:
   Imagine That - Progressive Mthly
   Reasonable Ribbon - Summer
   Connie Can Crop - How I Roll
   Brown Sugar - Summer Fun
   613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Artistic Inspiration - Anything Goes

Chat with you later.

Apples

Hello again.  I didn't get my cards addressed.  My sister came home and wanted to make some thing.

We both love the trio cards on Silhouette Online.  There are so many of them.  They make such a clean card.  I added a ribbon at the bottom and some Winks of Stella shimmer.  I just love my shimmer, it is so easy to add a little shine.  And apples just need to be shiny.

I am using it for the following challenges:
   Creative Card Crew - CAS
   Paper Take Weekly - Trio
   Penny's - Anything Goes
   Simon Says Wednesday - Anything Goes
   Wednesday's Inspiration - Favorite Product
   Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
 
Off to see what else I can get into.  Chat with you later.

Patriotic

Hello and how is every one doing?   I am finally able to sit at my desk for a little while. 

I made this several days ago and then I hurt my neck and I never posted it.  I just love it.  Patriotic cards are some of my favorites to make.  There doesn't have to be a holiday for me to use my red, white and blue. 

The pattern came from the Silhouette Online store.  I was worried about cutting some of the die cuts but they all cut great.  Now I wish I had made a couple more.  Oh well, too late now.




I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   City Crafters - Red & Blue from the Photo
   Loves Rubber Stamps - Die Cuts
   Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
   Crafty Gals - Anything Goes
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Red, White & Blue
   Pile It On - Flag Colors

I need to address some envelopes after this, so I don't know if I will be back.  If not, have a great evening.

Cut It Up

Hello.  It is Cut It Up time again.  I am late posting this, I am so sorry.  I pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve in my neck and I am having trouble sitting at my computer.

The theme this time around was easy but hard at the same time.  It is Stuck on you (remember you need something cut also).  You must use a sticker on your project.  I don't use stickers on my cards usually, so that was the hard part.  I knew I would use Doodlebug stickers.  I just love their set.   Paper, stickers, embellishments, everything matches and goes together.

Instead of making a card, I decided to make an extra page for my planner/scrapbook.  A friend and I started our planner/scrapbook in June.   I am using mine as more of a mini scrapbook.  Pictures from my walks, and flowerbed get added every week.  Then at least one dinner menu.  The weather.  Just boring every day things.  It has been so much fun to put the pages together.  I think I will be showing the pages on the main blog page (so keep a watch out for them.).

The second week in July, I am using an ice cream theme, so I made this cute little 'page'.  It will be so cute in there.

The challenge is being sponsored by Robin's Nest.  They will be giving a $20 gift certificate to the winner (If you use their product, you will get $30).

 

I  can't wait to see everyone's projects.  Make sure you go over to Cut It Up and enter the challenge.

Chat with you later hopefully.
