Fussy and Fancy 15

So sorry for getting this post up so late. I totally forgot I needed to post this today. This is my card for Fussy and Fancy Challenge 15 Stitches, Scallops and Sparkle. Well, I don't have a sewing machine so I faux stitched. I used the sketch from Friends Having Fun with this super cute image by Stitchy Stamps called Short Shorts. Stichy is generously donating 5 digi's to the winner. She also donated images for the DT to create with. 

SISC19 Mini Album of Love

Today there is a new sketch challenge over at StampInsanity. I decided I wanted to do anything but a card this week. When I read this sentiment I thought it would be perfect for an album. I pulled out some coasters I bought a while back. I found this tutorial and used parts of it to make my album. All 5 pages have a pocket. I haven't done anything to the inside, not sure what to do yet. The sentiment from Les Coquettes set by StampInsanity.

FHF Recipe 4 Christmas In July

Good morning, today Friends Having Fun has a new recipe challenge.

Edited to add close up picture.

Theme: “Christmas in July”

- make a holiday card or scrapbook page (you can choose any wintery holiday: Christmas, Hanukah, Festivus, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, etc.) I made a Christmas card. 
- make your card long and narrow to fit a business sized envelope (4 1/8 in x 9 ½ in). An easy dimension is to cut your 8.5 x 11 cardstock to 8 in by 9 in and score the long way down the middle (yields a folded card size of 4 x 9). If you are scrabooking, one of the elements in your layout should be this size. My card is 4 x 8.
- incorporate your favorite technique. I inked up the image panel with sponge. I also used my copics.

As an optional element/ingredient:   theme it something “holiday” in your home state or country. For example, Rebecca is in Florida …. a Christmas theme may include the beach like theme like a surfin’ santa, a sea shell christmas tree, etc.

Supplies:

Skating Out by Di's Digi Downloads

SU card stock

Pattern paper from Oriental Trading Co (really old)

Sparkly Fluff

Flower Soft

Copics

SISC18 Radical Ribbon and Rockin' Rhinestones

Good morning friends, today there's a new challenge at StampInsanity. For  SISC18 you are to use your Radical Ribbon and Rockin' Rhinestones. I used Summer Lovin' Maddie (a StampInsanity freebie) with one of my favorite color combos. I hope you get a chance to play with some ribbon and rhinestones so you can join us.

Friends Having Fun Sketch 4

Today there's a new sketch challenge over at Friends Having Fun. 

Here's my card.

Supplies:

A Time To Celebrate by Di's Digi Downloads

SU card stock, pattern paper ribbon and grey marker

Prima flowers

Copics

SISC17 Water, Water Everywhere

Here's my card for StamInsanity Challenge 17 Water, Water - Everywhere . This is another summer inspired theme. What do you think when you think of summer and water? Well I think of my kids playing in the pool. We have an above ground pool that gets put up every summer. It's not that big since we have a tiny back yard but it's big enough for my kids and a few of their friends. 

For my card I decided to use this blue because it reminds me of the color the water looks against the pool liner. I used Hang Ten Henry from Beach Babes by StampInsanity. I wanted to use more of the blue but all I could find were a few strips of it in my stash. I found this sketch from Mojo Monday # 146. It was perfect for the strips of blue card stock.

Fussy and Fancy Christmas in July

Happy Friday my dear bloggy friends. Today there is a new challenge over at Fussy Fancy, our theme is Christmas In July. Our sponsor this time around is Simon Says Stamps. They are generously offering one lucky winner a $15 gift certificate to spend as like. 

For my card I used Morgan from Naughty and Nice stamp set by StampInsanity. I colored her in with my Copics. I added some Polar White Flower Soft to the trim of the Santa hat and the dress. The sentiment was computer generated so I could use the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday #56. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous weekend!
