Summertime Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Summertime" Blog Hop!

Despite it being HOT HOT HOT in many parts of the country including the Southwest where we live SUMMER just started this past week . We've decided to share with you a SUMMERTIME" project for the blog hop today were in; which includes something that represents summer to us. 

For this hop there will be a grand prize winner who will win $60 of new scrapbooking supplies, sponsored from Zannie Berrie Scrapbooking.
In order to be eligible for prize you must comment and follow each blog.

If you came here from Cathie then you are in the right place, if not please go back to the beginning of the blog hop @ Ashley's blog; as you don't want to miss any of the amazing projects.

For today's project we made a picnic basket.  It is my first three dimensional project; although more challenging than a card I can see myself doing another in the future.

I like picnic baskets & going on picnics so I picked it for this hop.  We've filled ours with strawberries as they are a favorite fruit and we've enjoyed picking them in the past & love eating them.  I love gingham so I had to include the liner on it!

Recipe: 

• DCWV paper & Recollections paper.
• Cuts from Clearly Digi Stamps.
• Sentiment from Silhouette store & modified.
• StampIn' Up Ink

Please move on you way to the next stop, which is: Claire.

Get Inky! Stamps ~ Designer Challenge #6

Today's card is inspired from our challenge "Boys/Men Challenge!!   Masculine cards can be difficult to create for many & they can be for me too!  But once you start on them they get easier.  

This card does not reflect my Father in anyway other than the "Miss you" sentiment!  He lives back in the Midwest but we talk often and we see each other throughout the year.  I found the svg and it fit the challenge and reflects the Southwest where I live.  I then began picking out paper & piecing together colors that complimented each other.   I really like how it turned out and could see this card used for multiple occasions throughout the year.

My design:

For my card I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set which you can find here.  You can find out about our current challenge posted on our Get Inky! Challenge Blog.

Crafty Card Gallery Design Team Designers ~ June Challenge 6/14

Welcome Friends!!

Today, we're sharing with you our "stamp challenge" for this month with Crafty Card Gallery design team. 

For this challenge we we're asked to use:  Water, so it could be water colors, a drink, a pool, a lake, blue... to be featured on your card.

Here is our card:

We picked this image to use on our card as it had blue on; although it had a cute yellow duck.  I've always had a thing for cute yellow ducks & found myself putting my kids in gender color colors yellow & green when they were babies so ducks were included.  =)  

When we purchased this we thought it was a digi' but instead it was clip art.  We tried to do multiple features with this but were unable to & ended up cutting it out by hand.  It took quite a while as I'm a perfectionist!!

We're happy with how it turned out & our duck is quite cute splashing in all those blue raindrops!

Recipe:
Cuts: Dollar Graphics & Silhouette 

Paper:  Recollections 
Inks: Stampin' Up

Get Inky! Stamps ~ Designer Challenge #5

Today's card is inspired from our challenge "Good Golly Glitter"!!   This is my first try with GLITTER! 

Glitter comes in so many colors and it gets all over the place, regardless of how careful you are and even if you use a catch tray, funnel, paper, etc.  It can be very itchy too!

This card is a butterfly easel card and it is one of my favorites!  The smaller butterfly is distressed with ink & embellished with bling.  Glitter on the outside butterfly makes this card sparkle & shine.  The small buttons hold the card up for display so the recipient knows how special they are on their "Birthday"!    ツ 

My design:

For my card I used the Joyful Jar Drinks stamp set which you can find here.  You can find out about our current challenge posted on our Get Inky! Challenge Blog.
