drink a smoothie

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is all about food and drink.  I love summer smoothies made with berries and ice and protein powder.  This fun drink image  from Unity Stamps reminds me of smoothies.

MFT blueprint die and embossing folder make a nice background to hold these refreshments. the teeny sentiment is from a Kristina Werner set.

L is for Love in the ABC Christmas Card Challenge

L is for Love and doesn’t this just depict love and care.  I love this sweet scene from Whimsy Stamps. Playing in the ABC Christmas Card Challenge for Wednesday June 6.  So far I am staying caught up with my two cards per month.  Even if I haven’t been able to get them posted I have done all all the challenge suggestions.

Masculine Cards

My stash of guy cards got down to one!! That makes me a tad bit uncomfortable.  I used to make as I go through life but that got too hectic with so many birthdays all in one month.  It works so much better for me if i have a stash.  Simon’s Monday Challenge is TRANSPORT and I am featuring that card that I just made.  The others I have made this past week and am just getting them posted. This is surely my most difficult category to make but I am having fun with it.

humor me

This guy!! ha ha!  this is a really old Mark’s Finest Papers image that i had never used.  Look at that sentiment.  We just spent a weekend by lake MI and those Gulls, they just digest things really quickly, I guess.  ha ha.

For Simon’s Wednesday Challenge to Frame it.  He is framed by the dotted lines and the corner frame piece.  I ran my black marker over the MFT die to get a better imprint of the  piercing.

This worked out perfect for the guy I have in my mind.

this bird

Frame it! is Simon’s Wednesday Challenge.  I’ve had this bird hanging around on my desk for three years now.  It was the very first image I colored with my InkTense pencils.  He turned out so bright i didn’t know what to do with him.  I need some masculine cards and thought this cheerful bird would fit the bill.  (pun intended)  I crack myself up!!  I framed him in black and doodles and that black corder piece that i ran through an embossing folder.

Challenges: Simon Says Wednesday

where does time go?

It’s summer here and that time moves along so quickly. I just got back from a wonderful reunion of two grade school friends in MI .  Forty Eight years have passed and we are still special friends.  I was gone six days though. It’s time to get creative again.  Simon’s Wednesday Challenge is to Frame It.  I don’t know who’s die this is, I think, Penny Black.  I cut it out and then cut the corners of the frame piece with my scallop scissors to round them.  Placed the die cut back into the frame and placed it onto this stamped background of flowers from Unity.  I used Distress Crayons for the water color effect.
