Happy Sunday. Get ready for lots of photos. I was lucky enough to host some crafty friends this week. On Tuesday, Kim, Jacquie and I got inky together. We had such fun, and were very productive.
Kim and I took a break from crafting to take Sherlock for a walk on the beach.
OK, on to the cards. Here is my favorite of the bunch. I stamped the city skyline image from Concord & 9th and then sponged a rainbow over the buildings. This card took 8 minutes and 8 seconds, and the reason I timed myself was for the Inkspiration Challenge #166: Make a card in 10 minutes or less. I am also entering this card at Just Add Ink #420, where the inspiration photo was a rainbow flower.
Kim and I started our first crafting session by watching this week's video PTI Make it Monday #331: Creating Mixed Background Texture. I finally broke out PTI Stitching Garden for this card. I am also entering this card at CAS On Friday #138: Tag It.
I was inspired to transform this card I made a couple of weeks ago, adding some more ice cream cones and using my newest PTI ice cream set, Sweet Treats. I am entering this card at PTI Transformation Tuesday Challenge.

I inked up another new PTI set for the pets challenge at Less is More #377. I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #348. I don't have a cat anymore, but this kitty sleeping in the window reminds me of the cat I had before I got married.
I used a different image from that same stamp set for my next card, which I am entering at AAA Cards #121: Friendship.
Up next is a card I started at Tracey's house, using some cute jungle animal stamps. I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Challenge Monday: Wild Things and Addicted to CAS #142: Masculine.
Another card started at Tracey's, this one for Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Make your Own Background and Seize the Birthday: Water. I created the background by sponging Distress Oxide inks and then sprinkling water.
The Male Room #91 is celebrating their 5th birthday, and I have this card made with Concord & 9th Birthday Stacks stamps.
Last but not least is this card, made with CAS-ual Fridays Amber Waves and Lovely Greetings. I am entering this card at Calling All Sistahs #15 where I used their suggested color scheme of red, white, blue and gray, and also at CAS-ual Fridays #105: Stamp a Pattern.
Thanks for Visiting
