PIP Challenge #2635

 Today's challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Patties Creations.  

                  

                                                         

Since this is the 5th Saturday of the month we also have a special challenge and the theme is "Apples". 

I found this old image that Patties Creations created and decided to use it for my card.  I printed it off and colored it with my copic markers.  The background paper is Welcome Autumn by Carta Bella.  The apples are from Lawn Fawn "Build A Barrel".  The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions "Tag Team Thanks".

I look forward to seeing all those creations using the theme "Apples".

Challenge Your Stash

 This month is a fun challenge for us on our "Challenge Your Stash" group on Splitcoaststampers.  Jeanette is our hostess this month and she decided that August is the only month of the year without a significant holiday so she challenged us to make up a crazy holiday and create a card for it.  


This is my card.  My crazy holiday is "Celebrate Snail Mail".  Who doesn't like to get a card in the mail?  I sure do so I decided to create a holiday around it.  The image I am using is "Cozy Wishes" from Simon Says Stamps.  I stamped off the image and colored it with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut the image out.  The background paper is from Good Cheer by October Afternoon.  I used a Gina Marie Floral Design for the background.  I used white embossing powder on the sentiment and then fussy cut it out.

I hope you like my holiday.  I can't wait to see what the rest of the team comes up with.

PIP Challenge #2633

 This weeks challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by RAM Stamps.


They have so many adorable digital stamps.  I had a hard time deciding which digital image to use.



I finally decided to use the adorable Birthday Bird image.  I printed off the image and then colored it with my copic markers.  I used a scalloped circle die to cut the image out.  The papers I used are from different scraps that I had in my stash.  I used a heart punch to cut out the blue hearrt.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out all the cute images at RAM Stamps.

Creative Crew

 Well the 15th of the month has rolled around again which means it is time for our Creative Crew Challenge.  Jeanette and Barb shared the job of hosting this month.  They came up with a color challenge and a sketch challenge for us which is always fun to do.

  
For my card I decided to have some fun with the Unity image "Just a Couple Spring Chickens" for my card.


The background paper is called Stained Rainbows by Brutus Monroe which I thought covered the colors in the challenge.  The wood background is from Adventure Awaits by Honey Bee.


Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out what the other girls did with the challenge.

PIP Challenge #2631

 Time again for another Challenge from Pammie's Inky Pinkies which will be Challenge #2631.  Our wonderful sponsor this month is Taylored Expressions.

                                                          

I love all the things you can buy at Taylored Expressions.  I always look forward to their wonderful calendars and their floral stamps which are favorites of mine.

For my card today I am using the stamp "Bursting Blooms" along with the matching die.  This is an old set I have had for a long time.  I no longer see it in their shop but they have alot of other wonderful floral stamps.  I used a Jaded Blossom Stitched Arch Die for the Blue Background.  I like that it always makes the floral pop on the card.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see your creations on Pammie's Inky Pinkies
