YOU ROCK! / CQC #139...

Here another card for today - a clean and simple card, man do I love these! Late last night I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what I wanted to do for today's colourQ, when I remembered these images by the Alley Way Stamps, Talk To Me & Jibber Jabber. I think they're perfect. And fun. WAAAAYYY FUN!

Have an awesome day!!!

JOSIE / BLD Tuesday Inspiration...

Good morning! Today is the last BLD Tuesday Inspiration for a while, Lori is taking a break for the summer to be with her babies, clean up the shop and draw some more fantastic images! Don't worry, I'll host my own BLD Inspiration day, when I decided what day I want to dedicate to it - LOL!

I used the ever adorable Bug & Roo image, Josie today! She is SO SO SWEET! I colored her first, which for me is usually a big no-no... I always freak out trying to find matching paper, but had some luck and found a small scrap of this retired SU! paper lurking around! YAY!

Thank so much for stopping by & I hope you'll go see the other inspiration!

SQUEAL / RS #13...

Good morning! We have a brand new RetroSketch for you, designed by Jackie! Don't you just love it?!? I think I'm probably going to use it 50 times this week for sure - LOL! This is a new set coming out in June from Paper Smooches, called Green Acres - it is ADORABLE!!! Isn't this the happiest little piggy you've ever seen? Since I am a PS Club member, I get them early...YAY! These papers are from Echo Park, Hello Summer!

Hope you get to play along with us this week!

GIBRAN'S PINWHEEL / ADFD New Release...

Here's another digital hybrid card for today! The image is new from A Day For Daisies, called Orange Pinwheel, from the set Pinwheels are Fun! And they are! I also used digital paper piecing for this card, with Celeste Knight's new paper, Summer Sorbet, over at Design House Digital. 

Like my previous card, I set this all up on one page for printing. Using a light grey box to show my trim-line, I set up the image and the sentiment (which you'll find *free* below for your personal use) for the card front. I then digitally paper pieced the pinwheel & placed it on my page again, so that I could cut it out and pop it up on the base. After trimming the card front, I placed it in an embossing folder right up to the line of the pinwheel's stick, with the un-embossed half sticking out the side & ran it through my Big Shot.
