Happy Little Stampers Case The Designer August 2016...Wishing You a Beautiful Day

Hello and happy August.  I'm here to post a card for Happy Little Stampers Case the Designer challenge.

Our inspiration this month is provided by Gloria.  Take a look at this gorgeous inspiration card.

I was inspired by Gloria's masking, as well as how she placed her sentiment in the white space of her focal point.

I created a mask of a butterfly using computer paper, and then stamped many overlapping butterflies all around my card front.  When I removed the mask, I had a nice white butterfly shaped space to put my sentiment.

Our challenge will run for the entire month of August.  I hope you will play along.  Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers Case the Designers blog to see more inspiration from the rest of the design team.

The 12 Kits of Occasions: July, 2016

It's time for our July 12 Kits of Occasions post.  This month, Marybeth is our hostess and her theme is 'Christmas in July'.  She sent a wonderful package full of all sorts of wonderful stamped images, die cuts and patterned papers.

I really had a lot of fun with this kit, and it was just perfect for me, as I have not made a single holiday card yet.  This kit really gave me a head start to building my stash.  Even though I do not celebrate Christmas, I really enjoy getting into the holiday spirit and making Christmas cards.

Of course, I have lots of leftovers as well. I can't wait to see what everyone else did with their supplies so I can CASE them with my leftovers.

Here is a peek at the kit Marybeth sent out.

Here are the cards I made this month.

I used so many of the elements in this kit, but still have so much left over.  Thanks so much, Marybeth, for sending such a wonderful kit.

That's it for me today.  Please visit us over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog, where you can see a list of all the other designers and click over to their blogs.

Time Out #62...Reminder...REST

Hello.  There is still time to play along in the current challenge at Time Out.  This week is a Home Sweet Home challenge, and we have this photo to inspire you.

I was inspired by the framed alphabet blocks on the left side of the photo.  It reminded me of some subway sentiment stamps I have, so I pulled out PTI Sentiment Signs and made a get well card.

The flowers decorating this card are a nod to the floral pillow in the photo.

CASology Week #208: Journey

This is my second post today.  If you are looking for my ColourQ post, please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is Journey.

I have quite a few travel related stamp sets, and this week's cue word was the perfect opportunity for me to pull out PTI Destinations and make a card.  I stamped the airplane in red, fussy cut it, popped it up and coated it with Glossy Accents.  A simple spot of color on a CAS card can go a long way.

Now, it's your turn.  How does JOURNEY inspire you?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

ColourQ #350....Just a Note

If you are looking for my CASology post, please click here.

It's time for another color challenge at ColourQ.

Isn't this dress pretty?  It made me want to pull out some flower stamps.

I stamped some flowers and the sentiment from WPlus9 Happy Wishes.  I just love the font on that sentiment.  Of course, I had to add some texture, once my stamping was done.

Please head over to the ColourQ blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team.  I hope you will play along this week.

PTI July 2016 Blog Hop

I am playing along with the Papertrey July Blog Hop, where this photo is our inspiration.

I took my inspiration from the pillow and rug in the photo.

I'm keeping it short because I am also trying to complete all the Stamp a Faire challenges, which I am posting in my Flickr account.

CASology Week #207: Rough

This is my second post today.  If you are looking for my ColourQ post, please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is Rough.

Do you like to rough it when you travel?  I most certainly do NOT!  But, I could not resist these really cute Petite Places camping stamps and dies from PTI.

I suppose a cute camper is better than a tent, but still not as good as The Four Seasons Hotel.

I am also linking this card up at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Create a Scene.

Now, it's your turn.  How does ROUGH inspire you?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

ColourQ #351....Happy Birthday

If you are looking for my CASology post, please click here.

It's time for another color challenge at ColourQ.

We have a bold and bright color scheme for you this week.  What will you create?

I decided to make a birthday card, using some new Paper Clippings stamps and dies from PTI.  I normally use gold as an accent color, but decided to make it the star of the show on this card.

I am also linking this card up at Seize the Birthday where the toppings option is Bold and Bright.

Please head over to the ColourQ blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team.  I hope you will play along this week.
