Surf's Up

Hello everybody and welcome to another challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut! This week's challenge is Jump In and Cool Off. All you have to do is make a project with a water theme (pool, beach, waterpark, etc).

I picked up this super cool cloud background stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps back in March and had yet to use it! I'm sure you can tell, but I'm a newbie with background stamps. Gotta practice! :-)

Supplies:

Surf dude - Pack Your Bags cartridge

Waves - Life's a Beach cartridge

Cloud stamp - Peachy Keen's Cloudy Day stamp

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join the challenge HERE!

ME4Y Challenge

Hello crafty peeps! It's a busy week this week! Over at Made Especially for You we have another sketch challenge! Usually I struggle with sketch challenges, but I was very happy with how this one came out :-)

This darling duck is summer duck - swim from Bugaboo Digi stamps.

The sun is from Create a Critter cartridge. I don't remember which cartridge the stars are from, I searched for them using the search feature on the Gypsy and just chose the ones I liked. The waves are from Life's a Beach cartridge.

The cloud pattern paper is from Echo Park. The stamp is from Peachy Keen.

The twine is from The Twinery.

Here is the sketch so you can join in on the challenge!

Join us here for a chance to win seven images from Bugaboo Stamps. Winner's choice =)

flip flopping fabulous!

Hello everybody and happy Wednesday!

Did any of you catch Craft Wars last night? =)

This week over at Joy's Life DT we are playing with summer colors: Orange, Yellow, and Turquoise.

I created this flip flopping fabulous card ;)

It's a standard A2 size card.

I ♥ this sentiment.

It's from Joy's NEW stamp set Pun in the Sun!! You can find it HERE!

The flip flops are from Life's a Beach cartridge cut at 1.30".

I added the flowers from George and Basic Shapes cartridge cut at 0.26".

I then went on to add glossy accents to the strap and flowers.

I'm not sure if you can see, but I cut extra flip flops and just layered them beneath the main ones.

All of the pattern paper is from Echo Park's Paradise Beach paper pad.

Thank you for looking and head over to Joy's Life DT blog to see more summer inspired projects!

Summer Lovin'

♫ Summer lovin' had me a blast, met a boy cute as can be ♫

I just couldn't get this song out of my head after using this sentiment.

It's time for another Krafty Girls challenge!! This week's challenge is to create a paper project that follows the theme, Fun the the Sun. Anything that inspires you about summer.

I made this card for my co-worker, she recently got married and went to Hawaii for her honeymoon and is returning tomorrow although here in California it's starting to feel like summer already!

This darling girl is from Life's a Beach cartridge.

Her face is from Peachy Keen's Princess Face assortment.
The sentiment is from Pink by Design's Simply Everything.

Does that cloud paper look familiar?? Well I just used it on my project a few days ago and had this scrap left over and I just couldn't bear to skip using it! I just had to trim a little and perfect!
It's from Echo Park's Hello Summer paper pad.
I ♥ Echo Park!!

You should have arrived from Jennie's blog, if not, make sure you start HERE. You don't want to miss a thing!

Throughout this hop you're going to see summer colors, activities, treats, food, etc etc!

I live in Southern California and during summer the hubby and I mainly head out to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, and Santa Monica Beach where we enjoy the ocean and the clear blue skies ♥ This was the inspiration for my card.

Here are the deets on the card.

The boat is from the B is for Boy Lite cartridge. The waves are from Life's a Beach cartridge.

Yup, you're seeing one of Joy's NEW stamps! The sentiment is from Joy's new set, Pun in the Sun!

The boat is on some zots for extra dimension. I added some stitching and doodling on the card. The face on the sail is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes set. The cloud patterned paper is from Echo Paper's Hello Summer 6x6 paper pad.
