Christmas In July

Hello.

Just a quick one....Not really a  quick one.  I have been making tags for the last two days.  I ran across this bag when I cleaned out my desk a few weeks ago.  It was a class at a local scrapbook store.  The store has  since closed but I made some great friends through the store.

When I ran across the bag, I thought it would be great for my countdown to Christmas boxes.  So I cut a bunch of them and I have spent the last two days making tags.  I think I have 17 tags in each bag.  Mine has more, I thought I would make extras for myself and hopefully I won't run out when I start wrapping Christmas presents.



I am using it in the following challenges:
   Penny's Challenges - Christmas In July
   Tuesday Throwdown - Christmas In July
   Dies R Us - Christmas In July
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes #43

Chat with you later.

Ice Cream

Hello.  Just a quick one before my husband gets home from work.

I haven't used many of my Meljen's lately so I decided to use this banana split.  And I must have been in a polka dot mood because all of the paper and ribbon has polka dots.




I am using it in the following challenges:
   Simon Says Monday -  I is for
   Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
   Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch #310
   Clear It Out - Summer Fun & Ribbons
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes

Cut It Up

Hello and good afternoon.  I am late posting this.  I made the card a couple of days ago and then forgot all about posting it. I went to use my camera today and the memory card was still in the camera.  I knew right away that I hadn't posted the card.  I am so sorry.

It is time for another Cut It Up challenge.  The theme, this time, is numbers.  You need a number some where on the card.  Plus don't forget to use a die some where.  Every one on the design team did a great job.  There is such a wide variety.  I had trouble with this one.  My first thought was to make a graduation card for next year, but I didn't really want to make a card that far away.  Then I looked at my calendar and a dear friend has a birthday this weekend.  I knew it would be great for making her a card.  Her favorite color is purple so even though I don't make many purple cards, I put this one together for her.

The challenge is sponsored by One Happy Cut.  They have an amazing selection of dies.  Please stop by and check out their selection.  The winner will get a $15 gift certificate.

I can wait to see all of the entries.  I hope to see you there.

Patriotic

Hello.  My husband is working a late shift tonight, so I may have a late night and spend some time in my craft room.

I started this card a couple of days ago.  I thought my sister and I will get a change to make a couple of them.  She has been busy, so I finished them today.

The flag is from Our Daily Bread.  I have had it a couple of years.  It makes a great card. 

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Creative Card Crew - Flags/Banners
   Artistic Inspiration - Anything Goes #136
   Connie Can Crop - Red, White & Blue
   3 Girls Jam - Anything Goes

Christmas In July

Hello.    I did a lot of cleaning yesterday, so I am hoping for more playtime today.  But I do need to run some errands.

When I saw the challenge over at ABC Christmas, I just knew I was going to make some Christmas gift tags.  I never have enough.  I usually have to stop in the middle of my gift wrapping to make more tags.  Maybe I will use some of these Christmas in July challenges and make some more.  Plus I would like to make a bunch for the ladies at work.  They love my cards and things and I thought it would be great to give them a box/envelope full of different gift tags.

These tags were suppose to have a little paper ribbon on the bottom, but I wanted to stamp a short message so they now have a Merry Christmas on the bottom.  I loved the ribbon.  The big multi ribbons used to be really popular but not so much any more.  

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   ABC Christmas - Not a Card
   Crafty Gals - Christmas in July
   Pile It On - Christmas in July
   613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Craft Your Passion - Anything  Goes

Well I am off to run some errands.  See you later this afternoon.

Hot enough for Ice Cream

Hello again.  Today was a hot humid day.  The perfect day for ice cream.

I just can't eat this card.  The colors are bright but I used the colors from the ice cream cone.  Mint, butterscotch and strawberry.  What a combination.  The stamp is from Impression Obsession.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  I have been trying to use some of my older stamps.







I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Die Cuttin Divas - Ice Cream
   Wags N Whiskers - Birthdays
   Curtain Call - Celebrate
   Marker Pop - Summertime
   Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes

I don't know if I will be back or not.  If not, chat with you tomorrow.
