Craft Room Challenge

Welcome.  I have another challenge card to post today.  I have been working like a little beaver this past week.

I tried a new card style for this card.  It's called a Dutch Fold Card.  The theme is Sun, Sand, Surf.

I used an image from Jade Draggone to create this card with a sentiment and shells from an Inkadinkadoo set.  My papers are from Recollections All Year pad.

This card was very easy to make.  Here's a video tutorial showing how to make this card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Fantastic Tuesday Challenge #40 Summer at the Beach

Hello friends.  Thank you for stopping by today.  I haven't done any challenges for quite a while.  I've been working on trying to get ahead of my DT cards.

This card uses a Rick St. Dennis image.

This image is a bit different from most of Rick's images, but I really like it.

I used my Crayola Colored Pencils and Gamsol to color in the image and papers from Recollections.  The card stock is Stampin' Up.

Thanks again for stopping by.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Simple Salutations #100

Thank you for stopping by today.  Wednesday brings about a new challenge over at Mark's Finest Paper's Simple Salutations.  Our challenge this week is  BEACH  and here's a look at the stamp you have a chance of winning:



I really had to stretch for this card this week because I don't have any beach themed stamps to use yet.  I was only able to use a Mark's Finest paper  sentiment, which is pretty fitting since this is Simple Salutations.

I pulled out some The Stamps of Life stamps and dies to make the actual card and used the sentiment from one of my flower sets  from MFP to  add the sentiment.  And, just to show you how versatile stamps can be, the clouds are actually pieces of popcorn from the Popcorn2stamp set from the Stamps of Life.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I sure hope y'all are having a great day and enjoying this beautiful weather...at least we are having beautiful weather. :) God bless y'all.
