Christmas in July Challenge

Welcome to our latest challenge!   I know it's hard to think of Christmas when the temperatures outside are around 90 degrees but that's what we're doing today :)   Jodie has a ton of awesome Christmas images that even if you aren't in the Christmas spirit, you are going to have a blast coloring them in LOL


Bugaboo also has a sponsor this time around too....Bizzy Becs.  As always you have a chance to win up to 7 images from Bugaboo but this time around you also have a chance to win a $30 goodie basket with items based on your taste. 


My card today using Christmas Mouse and she is holding a mistletoe.  I just love these little mice images :)  The papers are from Imaginsice,  You can also see on the flower that there is a little bell, I've had these for awhile now and new this card was perfect for one :)

My second card for you today using an image from Bizzy Bec's.  This little girl is just too cute!  I paired  her up with some girlie paper I've had for a little while from Imaginisce with a matching chipboard tag.  Her shirt has sparkles added to it cause what girl doesn't love her bling LOL

Now hop on over to the other girls blogs and see what they have for you today and don't forget to go the challenge blog to enter your card!

Your Next Stamp DT Call

Have you seen Your Next Stamp??? They're stamps are way too cute to not try, I'm definitely going to be adding more of these to my collection ;)

So anyway, I am going to try out for their design team and one of the requirements is to post about it on our blogs and to include a picture of what we consider our best work.

Artful INKables Think Ink #24

I can't believe it's Friday already, where did this week go???  It sure is hard going back to work after being on vacation for almost two weeks but the one go thing is it was a short week :) I'm sorry I've been MIA all week but I've been busy working on another project and that has taken me away from card making/blogging for just a little bit.  Now that I've got that under control, I'll be posting more the next few days!

 

For today's card I used the flower vine and saying from Spot on Summer to create this very simple card.  The card is also for this Think Ink Challenge which is to use sewing on your card, either faux or real stitching.  I've yet to take out my mini sewing machine so faux it is :)   I really like the simplicity of this card and the soft colors of it. 

 

There is still plenty of time to join into the challenge for a chance to win a grab bag of AI stamps and if you use an AI stamp on your creation, you will get 2 entries!

 

Hurry on over to the Artful INKables blog to join in!!

 

 

Making a Splash

If you came here for the Artful Inkables blog hop, please see next post!

Over at the More Paper Than Shoes Forum the creative teams have been announced and the Card CT has their first post up.  To start off we went simple and created something that reminded us of summer.....colors, images, etc.   This is the card I created:

I've had this image colored in for the longest time and didn't have any clue what I wanted to do with her, well here she is FINALLY :)  You can't really see it but some of her scales on her tail have glitter on her for that extra bling :)  We'd love to see you over at the boards!
