I've had this sweet image sitting at my work space for a bit, and just had to finish coloring her and get her on a card. Summer is from the Honey collection of stamps from C.C. Designs.

Here are some challenges Summer fit in:
Tuesday Morning Sketches 1st Birthday!: Choose a Favorite Sketch, I chose #21
Fresh Brewed Challenges #10: Summertime
Simon Says Challenge: Photo Inspiration
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #33: Seven of Something (7 pearls)
Cute Card Thursday #120: School's Out for Summer (Summer theme)

A Touch of Christmas #16

On to week #16 of A Touch of Christmas, and still going! If nothing else, my packages next Christmas will have some unique gift tags! Thankfully everyone on my Christmas list will just love that.

This little penguin and his Igloo are both from Unity stamps. The flowers are from a Marvy punch, the greenery from my favorite EK Success punch. The little gems and DP are from Basic Grey, and the 'snow' is polar white Flower Soft.

I've found two challenges for my little gift card this week:
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #55 - Theme: Penguins
Simon Says Challenge - Theme: Things with Wings (yes, those ARE wings..he, he, he)

Movie Date

Thank goodness it's Friday, right? This cute stamp is the Movie Date digi from Karen's Doodles. They are such a sweet little couple of kids!

I've entered this card into a few challenges:
I Love Digi #5: Sketch (fun one!)
Simon Says Challenge: Theme: Let's Go to the Movies (also dry embossing which can be seen on the 'diamond' behind the image...I've used a Sizzix texture plate)
Fab 'n' Funky #19: No Longer Neglected (this sweet digi stamp)
Pollycraft #39: Pink, Brown, and Green (we chose between green or yellow as 3rd color)

Simon Says Challenge - Wheat Riley Card

I followed the recipe for Simon Says Challenge for this card.  The challenge can be found: HERE I’ve used the Wheat Riley stamp from Hanna Stamps as my one image, two print papers, and the ribbon, bow, and gem as my three embellishments. (hopefully I’ve done this right!)

What I used:
Stamp: Wheat Riley (Hanna Stamps)
Paper: DCWV
Ink: Burnt Umber pad (Unity Stamp Co.), Copic markers
Accessories: Ribbon/Bow (JoAnn’s), Gem, Die cuts (Nestabilities – Spellbinders)
