Happy Fall
The weather is getting cooler here in Kansas and fall is in the air. This is my favorite time or year with all the crisp weather, fall festivals and beautiful colors of the trees. Sue was our hostess this month in our Challenge your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers. She challenged us to make a fall card using an embossing technique as a focal point of our card.
The stamp set I used was from Hero Arts Fall Fox. I love foxes and thought this would be the perfect time to use this stamp set. I colored the images with my copic markers and then started putting my card together. The background is an oldie fall leaf embossing folder I used. The designer papers are by Carta Bella "Welcome Autumn". The leaves are from Cottage Cutz - Build a Grapevine Wreath. I cut the scalloped circles out of the designer paper and started building my card.
Thanks to Sue for a great Challenge this month.

Challenge Your Stash
I can't believe how fast the month of August has gone. It brings us to the 28th of the month which means it is time to Challenge My Stash. I love this group on Splitcoaststampers because they always come up with some great challenges. Suzy was our hostess this month and she came up with a great challenge of "Sunflowers". Since it is the state flower of Kansas, I seem to have alot of sunflower stamps. The sunflowers are in full bloom here in Kansas and looking beautiful.
The stamp I used for my card is "Power Poppy In Praise of Sunflowers". I used my copic markers to color the image. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I used the Spellbinders Nested Postage Labels die on the blue paper. The background yellow is So Saffron by Stampiin Up. I also added a few Pink Fresh Gems and a brown twine bow.
Thanks again for Suzy for a great challenge this month.

Inky Paws Challenge
It is terribly hot here so I have decided to start on some Christmas cards. I never seem to have enough. I went over to Newtons Nook Inky Paws Challenge for some inspiration. Their challenge this week is a color challenge.
I thought it would be fun to take these colors and make them in to Christmas colors.

This months challenge for our Creative Crew group comes from Jeanette. What a great theme for the summer. It's Hot! and the best thing to do in the summer is grill. So this months' theme is Summertime Grillin.
This adorable image comes from CC Designs called BBQ. It is stamped with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink on Accent Opaque 120# White Cardstock and colored with my copic markers.Barb - Barb's Inkin' In Retirement

Jeanette wanted us to share something that I like to grill. I am not a big griller because we only have an electric grill. Anything else is not allowed in our development. But I do love grilled salmon if I can find someone to grill it.

PIP Challenge #2431
Today's challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies is being sponsored by The Cutting Cafe.
I printed off a few of the images on my printer and then colored them with my copic markers. I decided to use some fun colors on my fish. I used a circle die to cut out the fish image and then a larger circle die for the black cardstock. I fussy cut the other images and placed it on my card.
Thanks to The Cutting Cafe for sponsoring us this week.

PIP Challenge #2427
I am a little late in posting my card for Challenge #2427 for Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges. Such a nice relaxing weekend that I forgot about my post for today. This weeks challenge is sponsored by Polkadoodles.
I was thinking Christmas in July when I made my card for this weeks challenge. I ready somewhere that Christmas is only 24 weeks away. We all know the weeks have a way of going fast.
For my card today I decided to use the adorable digital image Frostella & Ginger Gift.
I hope to see you over at PIP Challenges this week. It is always fun to see what people come up with.

Challenge Your Stash
Well today's card was super fun for me. Over on Splitcoaststampers I am in a group that is called Creating! Challenge Your Stash. Each month we have a hostess who comes up with a fun challenge.
Jeanette was our hostess this month and her theme is Bugs! I thought of several ideas. Is a Butterfly considered a bug, is a bee considered a bug. Couldn't decided so I went a totally different direction.
When I was in high school, I had a friend who had a Volkswagon "Bug". It was so much fun to cruise around town in it. So when I thought of bugs I remembered the VW beetle (bug).
The fun stamp set I used was Dare 2B Artzy Groovy Van. I substituted the vw bug for the van in the stamp set. The paper is also by Dare 2 B Artzy called Feelin Groovy and Peace & Love.
Now doesn't this card take you back a few years? Thanks to Jeanette for the great Challenge. I doubt this is what she had in mind but thought I would stretch the challenge.
