TSC - Challenge # 69 Theme Summer Fun

Summer is finally here, I think.. Weather suppose to get into the

80's & 90's this week-end..But for me that is just too hot, so

still no time outside.. 

This week we are all abou summer time themes. For my card

this week I have chosen to use (Fire Cracker) from

http://www.qkrstampede.com/

I love this these little ants getting ready for

the 4th. For the top half of my card I embossed

it with my Fireworks folder and just colored it in

too look like fireworks.

My Sentiment is from Free Coloring pages on line.

All my papers are scraps..Keeping to the promise 

I made to myself to use up as much as I can before

cutting into more full sheets..

I hope your week is fun filled and the weather is good.

Happy Scrappin

PS- Red, White and Blue

Goodmorning. I hope your having a fabulous day.

I am enjoying the early days of Summer Break from work.

My card this week is all about celebrating the 4th of July

This little gal is a Meljens  image. She is

just a little cutie pie.. My paper is from my

scrap bucket,which I made a deal with myself

that I WOULD use my scraps up. I found these

little pin wheels in the dollar bend at JoAnn's. The 

littel flowers are from a yard sale that I recently went to,

 and the Sentiment tag is from Joleen's.

I hope you are in your crafty space doing

what you enjoy.

Happy Crafting

TSC- Challnege #68 Step Card

Hello everyone.. It has been a very busy week-end with our 2 year old

grandson. Thank goodness I had this card almost finished when I got home.

This weeks challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo. Love there images..

So my image is called " Watering Can with  Roses. Such a

 fun and very versitile image to work with. I am working

hard to use up my scraps as fast as I can so the back

ground green is from my scrap bend. I used my Martha Stewart

edge punch to make a border than runs down the side, but because

I used white you can't reall see it, Then I had these button stickers

and thought it really made my heart pop. I used some assorted

flower petals to make my flower and the bee is from way back

when I had my Cricut.

I hope that you will join us this week with you favorite Step Card

and enter our challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner.

Hope you had a fabulous week-end

and happy Scrapin

TSC- Challenge 67 Anything with wings.

Todays card challenge is all about wings, so I

chose to do this Mallard Duck for a birthday

card for a friend who actually hunts ducks..

So I got this new embossing folder with this awesome Happy

Birthday image on it. I used a gold brown tone colored card

stock to my embossing and the bottom layer is an 'I Love You"

paper.. The image has been reduced down to fit my

medium size delicate oval frame by Sizzix.. I then used my

Tim Holzs distressed ink Antique linen and went over the entire image 

which gives it that gold brownish color . Added a small ribbon that I

also distressed with the T.H. distressed ink so it would match.

I love this Mallard from http://www.eurekastamps.com.

So join us this week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner for

anything with wins.

Happy Scrapin

Fairies challenges Theme: Inspiration image

And here is my card.  I loved the soft  colors. I made this 

card for my dear friend who is retiring this year. I have

worked with her for the past 13 years. A hard day for me.

But I think my card works well for this challenge.

I love the softness and elegance of this card

For my back ground I used my dotted swiss

embossing folder . The over lay is from my new Sizzix

elligant embossing folder. I cut out the center

and added my lattic die behind that. My bench 

I found on Colorpages.com and added a

fancy swirl.

Flower are from my scrap bend. Have no idea where I got them.

Added two small lavendar butterflies to finish it off.

I will be entering this card at

Fairies Challenge Blog

PS- For the Boys

This weeks challenge is "For the Boys"

I decided to honor our Lord and Savor with

this fabulous card.

My back ground paper is two sided from

a K&CoMPANY Designer stack that I 

picked up on sale at Joanns a couple of 

years ago.

My embossing folder is the Ornate Frames set

from Sizzix. I embossed it on white then used

my Tim Holz Distressed Ink, Antique Linen to 

make the embossed part really pop. I used a

Creative Imaginations sticker for the front along

with a small swirl and small roses..

The inside is from that same sticker pack

and speaks volumes..

I hope that you find my card inspirational and

will join us this week at Perfect Sentiments

With a "For the Boys" card.

God Bless and Happy Scrapin.

Challenge # 66 Theme : Manly Card/Father's Day

This has been a long week for me and it's only Tuesday. 6 more days and

I am free for the summer. Can it get better than that?  I did have allot

of plans for this summer, but with a possible shoulder surgery hanging over

my head, not sure how much will get done again. So for now I am just enjoying

being able to create some fun cards for TSC.

For my manly card this week, I found this darling image on a site called

Coloring pages. Wow, if you haven't been there you really should check

it out. Just type in the subject your looking for and omg. You will get

tons of images to chose for. So here is my little guy. 

they don't give you sponsors or who the image belongs too, so I am

thanking who ever did this image now. He is just awesome.

My paper is just a piece of scrap that I have in my bend and it worked

really well on this center step card. My sentiments are from a 

sticker set by Jolene's that I had left over from doing my son's growing up

scrap book.

I hope my card has inspired you to find you crafty space and

join us over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner for another fab week

of masterful creation's for fathers day..

Hope to see you again..

PS- Fathers Day Card

It's difficult for me to make cards for fathers day

with my own father and father-in-Law both in

Gods loving hands now. But I still make my husband 

a special card each year to remind him of the 

fabulous father he is.

My image is from http://robynsfetish.com/

and the sentiment is from coloring pages on 

line.. If you have never checked this site out,

make sure you do,,You can find many fun things

there.. That is where I found my sentiment, and the

poem on the inside.

For the inside of this I used my Tim Holtzs

distressed ink then printed my sentiment on it.

I really like the old look of this.

We hope to see you this week over at 

Perfect Sentiments

for this weeks Fathers Day Challenge.

Happy Scrappin

Challenge # 65 Extra Texture

Couldn't resist doing this cute design for my stack of pre-made 

Christmas cards. It's all about texture this week. So I added 

textured snow to the tree, shovel, nose and ground. Pretty fun.

My image is from http://www.qkrstampede.com.

They are have some really cute images to work with.

For my background I used scrap snowflake paper and 

added a pre-punches tree behind it.. My border is a 

Martha Stewart snowflake border punch. and a

Sizzix scalloped circle punch from Sizzix as well.

I love this. Please stop by

 http://www.tammyscrapincorner.com/

to share your textured card for this weeks challenge

Make sure that you add texture and a sentiment to 

the front of your card. We would hate to have to eliminate 

your beautiful creation if it does not follow all the rules.

Happy Scrappin Pam
