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.

Summer Ride

Hello!! I hope the week is treating everyone well so far. This week starts Vacation Bible School so I am busy helping with kids crafts. We just finished swim lessons and the girls are taking a break from dance so I think the rest of the summer should be more relaxed and maybe we can start crossing things off of our bucket list.
It seems that Google Reader is definitley going away so I swithched over to Bloglovin and it seems to be working out so far. Here is the link to continue to  Follow my blog with Bloglovin.
I want to share my card for the latest challenge at CMC Copic Challenge Group and to tell you that this will be my last card as part of the Design Team.  I have decided to make sure that I spend as much time with my kids this summer as possible especially since my youngest is about to start Kindergarten.  I love Suzanne so much for allowing me to be part of such a wonderful team and for the chance to know what a wonderful person she is.  This isn't goodbye, just time to take a short break.

NEW CHALLENGE #71 will run thru July 5th!!

Get Well Wishes

Hi everyone!! I hope you are having a wonderful week. The kids had their last day of school Friday but we are still in busy mode for another week with swim lessons and dance recital coming up this weekend. I am looking forward to not having so many scheduled things and just resting and doing whatever, whenever.
I want to thank everyone for stopping by and commenting over the past few weeks. I am a little behind on visiting blogs so bare with me. I am hoping to have more blogging time very soon.
Today starts another new challenge at The Paper Shelter so I hope that you can join us.  The challenge this time is to use Pink and White or Blue and White. 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 used this weeks sketch from The Sweet Stop SSS214.  The image is one of two Cute Nurses from TPS.  The sentiment is from There She Goes- In All The World and the edge punch is from Sweet 'n Sassy.  My coloring was a bit off this week but hopefully the cute stamp makes up for it.

Have a wonderful day!!

 

Seeing Orange at CMC

I just wanted to pop in and remind you about the challenge at the CMC Copic Challenge Group.  You have until June 7th to show us those cards colored with Orange.  The sponsor this time is Bugaboo Digi Stamps.  With summer coming up it is a perfect time to take a class at CMC, trust me you will learn so much and they are so full of techniques.

 I used Theodore Birthday Sign by Bugaboo along with paper from My Minds Eye and a few simple embellishments.  I really need to add to my birthday card stash for the kids friends.
