Challenge Your Stash

 This month sure went fast.  So fast that I forgot my 28th challenge.  Since it is a short month for me, I just got behind.  Vickie was our hostess this month and she challenged us to make a vintage card.

For my card I went to my stash and used alot of things that were in my scrap pile.  The papers (and Butterfly) are from Mintay papers "Lavender Farm".  I just love these papers.  I used a scallop circle die for the aqua part and found a lone doily I had in my stash.  I used the SU scallop tag topper punch for the floral tag and used some purple twine I had in my drawer.  I also found a small piece of lace that went perfectly on the bottom of the card.  I added some white flowers that I had and the With Sympathy sentiment.  Not sure where it came from.  I had stamped a bunch and used the matching die to cut them out.  Nice to have to just put on the front of a card if you are in a hurry.  I added a few purple gems at the top of the card.

Thanks to Vickie for helping me use up some scrap supplies in my closet.

PIP Challenge #2525

 Pam from Pammies Inky Pinkies will be sponsoring our challenge this week.  She will be giving a $25 gift card to My Favorite Things to the winner.  And who wouldn't love a gift certificate to one of the best stamp companies?  Pam told us we could use any stamp we wanted for our post this week.

I decided to pull out one of my favorite stamp sets which is Spring Critters Occasions by Close To My Heart.  I love foxes so this one was so fun for me to make.  I stamped the image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then used the matching die to cut it out.  I went with a simple layout using papers from I Love Crafting by Echo Park.  I have always loved this color combination.

I hope to see your entries this week for a chance to win the $25 gift certificate.

Creative Crew

 Darlene was our hostess this month for our Creative Crew group.  She challenged us to make a masculine card with items she sent us.

I decided to make this fun fold card using the Pretty Pink Posh scallop box die and all the fun images she sent us.  The images and sentiments were from Mr Fix It by Gina K designs.  I used a silver backgroud and the put it through a dotted die to make it look like a peg board to hang your tools.  

Thanks to Darlene for a great kit.

PIP Challenge #2523

 Happy June.  Can't believe we are almost halfway through the year.  Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2523 this week is being sponsored by Sunbird Spark (Formerly Penguin Palace).  

I couldn't decide which digital stamp to use for my challenge card today so I made 2.  

The stamp set for this card is called "Puddles of Fun".  There are so many different elements to this stamp set.  I decided to use the girl with umbrella and the sentiment from the stamp set.  I printed off the image on m printer and colored it with my copic markers.  I then cut it out with my Brother Scan n Cut machine.  I added a few elements to the card to highlight the image.  The stitched sun is from Lil Inker and the Swirl Switch Clouds is by Memory Bound.

The second card is from the stamp set "Milk, Tea, or Me".  For this card I used the cow in tea cups along with the sentiment.  I printed the image off the image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then cut it out with my Brother Scan n Cut machine.  I used a simple design to highlight the cute little image.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and be sure and see what other cards the design team came up with this week at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.
