August Already...?

Hi all.  I can't believe it is already August.  I was in the hospital on July 1, for 5 days.  Since I have been out, I have been a crazy card making machine.  I will not post them all on here, but I will just add a few.  The most important one is the Imagine That Digi Stamps DOTM challenge card.   The theme this month is Beach Girls.  Girls just want to have fun and that is just what I did!  I used the water DP from the Beach Combers Digi Papers and used torn paper that I distressed and used a sand stamp to make the beach.  All of the elements were colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut and either glued or pop dotted onto the base.  The surfboard and umbrella pole were inserted into slits in the paper.

If you would like to play along with us and our Digi of the Month challenge, be sure to check out the site above for information and a chance to win a free set.

Here are a few more that I have been working on during the past few weeks...

 

Remember to play our progressive challenge.  Submissions must be in by the 28th of August in order to be eligible for a free set.

Till next time...

Rainy Day Fun

Hi all.  Today I am posting a Throwback Thursday (even though it is Sunday).  I live in Florida and we get tremendous amounts of rain in the summer.  This particular image was from a while back, but I thought it was appropriate to make it now.  The name of the file is Rainy Day Fun.  My medium, this time, was colored pencils.  I decided to give the markers a break.  I wanted to do something different, so I used Nestabilities dies to cut 2 windows showing the face of the girl and the duck.  I used the larger, positive piece to pop up on the top with hello stamped on it.  I used an embossing folder of clouds as well as an edge folder and scored some lines.  When you open the card, you can see the entire image.  This is not my usual style and I thought it turned out very cute, however, it is not easy lining up the image with the windows.  Don't try this at home, boys and girls!  ;-)

Unfortunately, the pic of the front looks like it was debossed instead of embossed.  It really looks better in person than it does in the pictures.

I will be posting some more cards real soon, so don't forget to check back.  Also, it is not too late to enter the progressive digi challenge here.  You can get a free digi.  see the blog for details.
