Happy Friday!

Hey Friends!! 

I am just popping in with a card for a couple of challenges. It is summer time and I have been trying to get in my craft room three or four times a week.

My first card is a summer themed card. I used Spellbinder's Oh Buoy! dies, Set Sails dies, MFT Frame Die (retired) and Fishing Net by Tutti Designs. 

The stamped sentiment is from Spellbinder's the Fair Winds Sentiment Stamp Set. When I saw these dies I HAD TO HAVE THEM!! I loved these seagulls and knew I could make a bunch of cards with them. 

I did make a ton of different cards with this set. I used Copic Markers to make the sand and torn Aqua Mist cardstock from Paper Trey Ink as the "sea."

I am entering this card into a few challenges. First, I am joining Inkspirational Challenge #320. This was to use more than one company on a card. I do this regularly. The second challenge I am entering is the TGIF Challenge #tgifc483. It was a graphic of an ocean and the phrase "Every Summer has a Story." The third challenge I am entering is Time Out Challenges #268-"On Vacation."

 

The next two cards I am entering into three challenges. One is the Daring Cardmakers Challenge "Christmas in July," The Color Hues Challenge #91-Red and Green, and The Jingle Belles Challenge-Dashing Through Snow.

 
 

For the first card, I used pattern paper, Hello Bluebird snowman stamp (retired), a Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Visions embossing folder,  MFT Stamps Mini Polaroid Frames (retired), and the Hello Bluebird sentiment.


The snowman I created in a bunch and put it away until I was ready. It makes creating a card so easy!! 


I love how this card came out so I created another one with a different image. This time, I used a reindeer from Mama Elephant's Reindeer Games stamp set and matching dies.


The sentiment is from MFT Stamps. The snowflakes are from my stash and I have no clue who made it. 


I LOVE how these cars came out and will be adding them into my stash.

Well, that is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

    You linked up the wrong card for the Time Out challenge, Nora. The Christmas one is the one we see. I love your beach scene. I have that set and you've given me an idea of how to lay out a design. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Time Out.
