Anything Goes Challenge at The Paper Shelter

Good Morning!! I hope everyone is ready for a wonderful day. This is going to be a super quick post because I have so much to do around the house before the kids get up. Summer is so much fun having the kids home but also makes it impossible to get things done.
This week starts the Anything Goes Challenge at The Paper Shelter. The challenge is going to run for 2 weeks this time and both Design Teams have created something to share with you for inspiration.
I created a book mark using the very appropriately named The Most Adorable Panda. The nice thing about TPS images is that you get a colored version along with the line drawings so if you have a quick card to make you can just print them out and you are ready to go. This is the first time I have done this because I love to color but I am super happy with the results, you can't even tell it wasn't hand colored.

I made this book mark to where it opens up and can slip over the pages. All three of my kids were fighting over who gets to keep it so I will be making two more to keep the peace in the family.

Please head on over to The Paper Shelter and get all of the details about the challenge and enjoy the rest of your week.

Swirly Girly Challenge at The Paper Shelter

Hello!! I hope that everyone is doing well. Summer is flying by and I really wish it would slow down. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and sometimes not one at all. The weather has been surprisingly mild for a South Texas summer which is a nice change. We have been working on a family project building a Lemonade Stand that will double as a Girl Scout Cookie Booth and Cub Scout Popcorn booth too. I will have to share some pictures when we get it done.
Today starts a new challenge at The Paper Shelter #120 Swirly Girly - Make a card for a Girl with at least one Swirl on it. I used this fun summer image called A Refreshing Drink form TPS. Veronica and Pedro from The Paper Shelter are offering you a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on their website if you use a Paper Shelter image or 3 digis if you use another.

I have been on such an orange kick lately but I think I have it out of my system now. The paper is from My Minds Eye called The Sweetest Thing Tangerine and the little drink embellishment is from Recollections. The swirls are a Memory Box die. I love to use my Cameo for swirls but I forgot to order a new blade so I had to use what I had and doubled it up.
