Pile It On #24, Stickers

Here is my card for the Pile It On Sticker challenge. We had a cute sponsor with digital stamps today. AI Factory has some darling images. I really liked her Ella line.

I used my Basic Grey Kioshi paper line, as it seemed the most zen like for a yoga girl. I paper pieced her outfit, and colored her with copics. I had grabbed the stickers at Michael's and thought they were the perfect touch to my yoga gal, and zen card!

My other challenges:

Sketch Sat- sketch.

Crazy for Challenges: Paper flowers.

Dare you 2 Digi: Bloom and butterfly

Crafty Challenges #78: This is a stitch up.

LaLaLand #43: embossing.

Gabi's Pink Haired Mermaid and Teacher Gifts

We had a birthday party today. Gabi wanted to help make the card. I just got those darling stamps in and she wanted to use them. Than she colored, with copics, big deal for me, cuz I don't share, but she did her hair pink. I was impressed, because I can never do that. I can't color things out of the norm, and she didn't think anything of it! Big high five from Mom! I had shown her how to blend on the card she colored for Father's Day. So, she was excited cuz she blended the cheeks. I cut it out and did the layout for her.

It's been a busy week here. Last week of school for us. Means Field Days, class parties, and last minute running around without little ones under foot. On top of that Gabi's dance recital was on Sunday, so I was busy with that last weekend, and photos of her routines this week. So, I've been here there and everywhere it seems this week! Have to show off some cute stuff real fast.

I've been sucking a friend of mine into the crafting world! Love doing that to people! Anyhow, we sat down to make some letters for the teachers as a little gift. She loved making them and matching papers and embellies! Mine are the top two, and are rather mellow for me. Not sure how that happened! Her's were bright and colorful, and well...more like how I normally make things. The teachers loved receiving them, and I loved hearing what they tought about them! Nothing beats a personal item for someone who has touched your child's life in so many ways during the year. My favorite touch on my friend's was the button on the tree. How stinking cute is that?!

Couple Father's Day Cards

Worked on a few cards this week for Dads. Manly cards are so hard it seems. Gotta space, fill it with flowers....just can't do that for the dudes! TAC came out with a way fun dude set this past spring. I've really enjoyed the images in it. This reminded me of my one FIL who is in construction. I love how the stomach peaks out under the shirt! I paper pieced his whole outfit.

Than on my second card I used some un-inked stamp sets from TAC. The label stamp fits perfectly with the nestie. So, it was a nice way to add some pop to the nestie shape. I don't normally make cards that center around sentiments. I seem to struggle with that, so this card was hard to feel positive about. I created the Father's day sentiment off the computer. I followed Mojo Monday 143.

Supplies: TAC stamps, Basic Grey papers, SU cardstock, nesties, copics, SU punches,

Party Time Tuesday #3.

Thanks, Debbie! Got a message from her that I forgot the photo! LOL!

Hello again! It's time to party with the Party Time Tuesday Blog. Today is Anything Goes, as long as you use a birthday sentiment on the front of your card. I have a lot of men with birthday's in the summer, so I made a card for one of them. I used a fun set from TAC that they came out with for Dad's. I think it's called Greatest Dad, and the sentiment is from That Guy set, which came out at the same time. I tried the spot dots for the grass. Not sure I like it, but I liked the rest of my card, so I'm not looking at the grass! I stamped the dad and kid out on another sheet and raised them up. I did the Mojo Monday 140 sketch for this card.

Be sure to stop by the Party Time Tuesday blog to get your party started! Looking forward to seeing what you create!

Supplies: Basic Grey Boxer, Bordering Blue cardstock, nesties, copics, TAC stamps, dew drops.

Party Time Tuesday #2.

Time to party, cuz it's Tuesday! Today's challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is to make a birthday card using a number. I had recently picked up this cute horse set from Whimsy Stamps. (I knew Gabi would just love it, and she did.) I had this paper pack for the longest time. I thought it would go perfectly with the horse set, and the challenge to use a number. But than I went digging thru the paper, and couldn't find any of the number sheet. Ack! Lucky for me, I never toss anything. I remembered I used it to make some party favors for Gabi's birthday two years ago. So, I dug thru my stash, and found one leftover sheet with the numbers on it! Woo hoo! Happy dance!

Be sure to check out the Party Time Tuesday Blog to see what the other Designers created. Some lovely artwork to see over there! Than make sure you join in the fun! All you have to do is make a birthday card, use a number, and put the sentiment on the front of the card! Can't wait to see what you come up with, so make sure you link it back to the blog! Look forward to parting with you!

On a fun note, Gabi had to join in the fun this week. She made a card for her Daddy, who's birthday was last week. She wanted to put the years on there using the Cricut. She told me which numbers she wanted which color of paper. So perfect that it was the theme too. She colored her robot, and even had to highlight the words. Too stinking cute! Naturally, have to show off her card too.

Thanks for stopping by, and make sure you join in the fun too!
