Ahh, Summer!

Today starts the new challenge over at the Creative Playground, and our theme is Signs of Summer. Hard to believe school will be starting soon...to me that means the end of summer. But while it's still warm and sunny, let's celebrate!!! I used the adorable set Pool Girl from Imagine That Digistamp. I love the bright fun colors of this pre-colored image so I went with it for my papers and embellishments. Now I sure hope you can join us this month for our fun summer challenge at the Creative Playground.
  

Missing You

Time to share the latest Freebie Friday from Bugaboo - AKV Army Salute. I cut him out with my Scan N Cut then colored him with my copic markers. The camo paper comes from Doodle Pantry and can be found HERE in an array of colors. Just keepin' it simple!! Check out what other DT members created with this freebie on Catch the Bug.

 

What's the Scoop?

YUM, it's ice cream!!!!! Raise your hand if you loooooove ice cream! I have both of my hands up!! My card totally makes use of 3 different sets from Imagine That Digistamps - the ice cream cone comes from Ice Cream Treats, the sentiment is from Ice Cream Sentiments and the paper is from the paper pack Ice Cream Parlour. If you notice, this sentiment actually reads "so, what's the scoop?" Well, I printed it off a bit too big so I cut off the word "so". Guess I'm using some creative liberties with that one!!! The cherry on top of the ice cream cone is covered in wink of stella...love the shimmer. Now I need to hit the grocery store for some ice cream!!!!!!

New Release at Bugaboo

Today is new release day at Bugaboo...so check out this beauty, Floral Doodles. I colored it up with my Copic markers then added some shimmer with my wink of stella pen. I also did a bit of a reverse spotlighting technique...or whatever you call it when you totally mess up the way you colored something and have to cover it up or else start all over again (which wasn't an option!!). Life has been a little crazy here at the Anderson household so I have to make do with what I've got!!!!! Hahaha! Be sure and check out this lovely new release over at the Bugaboo store.
 

Ants in My Pantry Digital Challenge

August 1st...okay, how did that happen?!!! Summer is just flying by! And being the first of the month, a new Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge has started at the Doodle Pantry Blog. Sure hope you can join us! I used from Doodle Pantry the adorable Lemon Ants. I have a bad habit of printing off digis and paper then put them in my "I'll get to 'em later" pile. The pattern paper on my card is digital, from Doodle Pantry I'm 99% sure, but I just don't know what set!!! I'll look thru the shop again and see if I can find it. In the meantime, I hope you can join our Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge over at the Doodle Pantry Blog.  

THANKS...

 What an honor, I'm now a member of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge design team!!! I love their sketches, always a great starting off point for when I need some inspiration! Check out the latest one, don't ya love it?!!

And here's what I made with it!! I sponged some ink onto a piece of white cardstock, die cut the pattern using the Dotted Scallops Cover Up from Lil' Inker Designs. Hehehe, looks like I have my scallops upside down!!!!! Oh well, always keep things interesting! I then used the stamp set Pineapple Panache and the coordinating die, doing the rock & roll method on the fruit. A fun sketch that I hope you'll give it a try!!! See you over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
