July 29, 2020 Sketch Challenge

Wow another month almost gone - and it has been a hot one - perfect for my cactus card which grows well in the desert heat. This week our challenge over at The House that Stamps Built  is a sketch challenge.  This was our sketch

and here is my card:

.  Now this card had a purpose -my granddaughter (who is the light of my life) and has given us three great grand children has lost 35 pounds and has a few more to go - so I thought I would send her a card of encouragement.  I used

2422-L Cactus - stamped in a pretty shade of green .  Can you believe I had one piece of cactus paper in my "stash" so I used part of it for this card.  Two more coordinating prints and the basic layout was complete.  

I then used a die cut alphabet to cut out the letters "loookin sharp" as a play on words and glued them in place.  I mailed this to her a a couple of days ago so anxious to hear from her to see how she liked it.  She got it and loved it - said she "had the best grandma ever".

July 26, 2020 TJ Junkies Christmas Challenge

Just getting in under the wire as there is only one more day over at TJ Junkies Christmas challenge.  I really didn't have a Christmas specific stamp so I used what I had and made it work.  This bunny us Happy Winter Wishes and isn't she a cutie.  I plan on using her for some of my winter cards.  I paper pieced her scarf and coat and boots out of velveteen paper (don't you just want to touch), so soft.  dug around Christmas papers I had and again made it work.  Again die cut peace for my sentiment and then used some tiny silver stars.  I had a piece of scrap hillside that I used on my card before this one so I had the bunny standing on that. 

July 25, 2020 TJ Junkie Christmas

Is she not cute???  TJ Junkies is having a Christmas challenge until July 27, and the prizes are phenomenal. I had to go dig out my holiday papers but found one that I liked with this image.  I colored the girl with copic markers, note she is standing on a die cut snowy hill and two small snowflakes in the air.  I used joy as my sentiment as this image just made me joyful.

July 15, 2020 Inspiration Palette

I had so much fun with this inspiration palette challenge this week.  We have a watermelon image 9010-H Watermelon and for my sentiment I choose to use
9013-D Chill Out.  I used a corner fold card - and decided to use a couple of fun colors for the watermelon, black gingham and red polka dot.  The sentiment went well with this image - as we always had watermelon on a hot day - my Dad had chilled the melon all day in a bucket of ice water.  I thought it needed just another fun embellishment so I tied a bow out of red and green gingham ribbon and held in place with a tiny black clothespin.  This card will be one that will have to be given in person on included in a package.

Challenges:
     Festive Friday - use 3 -
          green, embossed, ribbon
     Use your stuff - use something in your "stash"
     STAMPlorations - summer
     Double Trouble - Tic Tac Toe
     Unicorn Challenge - food or drink

July 13, 2020 Bella's Baptism

Yesterday was a special day in my life.  I was able to see sweet granddaughter (great) baptized.  Such a beautiful day.  She is truly a child of God and is such a blessing in my life.  As is her special mom.

July 8, 2020 Tic Tac Toe

This week over at The House that Stamps Built.  I made another "inchie" card that I did a POTW of the month on last week.  For this one I used 9308-C  Bee and for the sentiment 9312-D Just Bee-cause.  I had some really pretty bee theme papers so went with the paper and the fun simple bee for my inchies.  Then I die cut a frame with piercing around the frame for them just to give some definition.  I added a couple of yellow sequins on my sentiment and I really think that is all that I needed.  So I used the right side for my TTT.
