Over on the Sunsational Stamps Blog we're doing Christmas in July Challenge.

I used the Oh, Christmas Tree digital stamp which you can get here.  I live in Sunny Florida so our Christmas is more sunny than snowy. We make Sandmen not snowmen. Or in this case Sand-People. I use my children's favorite colors for their hats. I also decorated the tree with sequins. I flip them over to give a more Christmas ornament feel.

Are you feeling festive yet?  Join the Christmas in July Challenge !

Let's Hear it for the Dudes!

You know you started singing this song as soon as you saw the title of this post.  Actually, this post has nothing to do with the song but, it has everything to do with card making.







Over on the Crafty Gals Corner blog we're showing our dude - Men cards. Each of the Design Team was challenged to  created a card with a male theme. We used Dr, Digi's House of Stamps Images.



Here is my card for this challenge. I used Psychedelic Syd
I created a tye dye background with Distress Inks. Stamped  rock on, some happy faces and peace signs. Die Cut the Happy for a Hero Arts die.



Hop on over to the Crafty Gals Corner Blog to join the Challenge.

I used Besties Fluffy Sunshine Girl - I created a Bendy card. Jen of Koala T Crafts did a tutorial recently you can find it here. I adapted mine a bit, but the concept is the same.

 Close-up of the card.

 Side views of the card so you can see the crane and the little jumping fish.

For my next card I used Besties Twinkle Toes Troll - I created a layered card. I did a technique call Distress Oxide Ink water stamping that Jennifer Mcguire showed on her blog and on her YouTube Channel  Jennifer Mcguire Ink recent for my background.

 Changed the lighting so you can see the background better.

I hope you join the challenge it's a good one!

My Hubby is really supporting my new design team work. He bought me these wonderful card magazines. Which came with beautiful stamps and dies; along with amazing ideas.

Then, my mother's day gift arrived. I new it would be late we agree to do gifts for mother & father's day late this year. We had other things going on during that time. I am very excited about the 150 Prismacolor Premier Color Pencil Set!!! Oh, I also got blending pencils and eraser with it. I also got my tech on with an external hard drive. So, I can start creating videos(Yikes!!! - I can do it!?! Right?!?) and other stuff.



I told you so exciting for me. I am also working on my DT cards and layouts; getting ready for the start date of July 1st for most of them. I already started with Jo's Scrap Shack.

We have amazing challenges and prizes be sure to check it out. Jo's Scrap Shack Fun-day Friday Challenges
