Watermelon Girl

I hope you took a moment yesterday to see the new digi release and fabulous samples over at the Fresh Brewed Blog. I'm using Fresh Brewed Designs the sweet Watermelon Girl for my card today. I love her almost hidden smile covered up by that yummy piece of watermelon. Keeping it simple and sentiment free so I can decide when I send it what I need.

So far the weather isn't cooperating for us here at the beach. Might have to see what's playing at the movie theater.

Holiday Greetings

Okay, oops on my part. I ran out of time before leaving for vacation to schedule all my posts so I figured I'd do it here...at the beach. Well needless to say, I forgot already!!! And how could I forget to tell you about the new release we have for you at Doodle Pantry!! Talk about fun and fabulous!!

Now I love Christmas in July, so when I saw the new Holiday Greetings set, I knew I needed to use it!! I mean, pairing it up with any Doodle Pantry Christmas image, talk about versatile! I've had these sweet Winter Song Birdies for a while now and haven't put them to use. Now was the perfect time. And you are in luck, play along with our Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge and you will receive the Holiday Greetings set free.

Sentimental Sundays

Yep, we're on our way to the beach...Outer Banks to be more specific. I hope all my scheduled posts will do just that...post!! Anyway, Clearly Digi Stamps is sponsoring Sentimental Sundays this week. Their theme is All Things Digital (plus a sentiment). Because of leaving for vacation this morning, I had to keep all my cards this week quick and easy...and this one sure was just that. I used the color version of Floral Jug & the paper is from a Basic Grey paper pad. Oh so simple yet oh so fun to make.

Be on the lookout for some pictures this week from the beach. Sure hope the rain holds off and we get lots and lots of fun in the sun.

Stars and Stripes

Hello and welcome to our latest Clean and Simple challenge at The Outlawz. Our theme this week is stars and stripes BUT no red, white & blue! I found this piece of striped paper in my scrap bin and my color palette was then decided upon. I just got some star dies too so it was fun putting them to use. The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti, a set called Dream in Color. I absolutely loved this sentiment and couldn't wait to use it! Now I sure hope you can join us this week for our CAS challenge over at The Outlawz. 

 

Home of the Brave

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the 2 Sisters Challenge this week and their theme is "Stripes." I immediately knew I'd be using the newly released from this month Freedom Eagle. I love this image as well as this digital paper also included in the set. A simple card sure, but fun to create just the same. Hope you can join in the 2 Sisters Challenge for your chance at winning some Doodle Pantry images of your very own. 

Time for a Picnic

It's a photo inspiration challenge over at Catch the Bug. Yep, I immediately thought picnic when I saw this picture. YUM, I could go for one now!! Actually, I could go for some sleep now as it's 3am and I'm still awake!!! YIKES, it isn't gonna be too pretty in the morning!

Here's my picnic card, using AKV BBQ - Picnic Table. Mmmmm, watermelon, how tasty!! I'm one of those crazy people who likes to put salt on the watermelon! Do you? I like it on my cantelope too!!

I'm going to go lay down, maybe Mr. Sandman will suddenly pay me a visit! Enjoy your Thursday, the weekend is almost here.
 

Sweet Happy Birthday

Happy Sweet Wednesday to you! And welcome back for another challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. How fabulous, don't you think?!!

Our sponsor this week is the one and only Bugaboo Stamps. I love their images. I don't even dare count how many of them I have...all I know is it's A LOT!!! Our winner will receive 7 digi images of their choice!! Totally fabulous! Only problem is narrowing down the list to seven!!

 Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

 

Here's my card, using the darling Picnic Ant - Apple. Such a cutie, even for an ant!! I'm not much of a flower arranger, so the embellies along the bottom intimidated me at first. I decided to change 'em up to stars and dots for something different. I only wish I hadn't made this into a standard A2 card, wish I had chopped a little off the bottom. Oh well, maybe next time. Please join us for a fun and fabulous challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
