It's Summer Fun Time over at Scrapbooker PhD-Hope to see you there!

 At Scrapbooker PhD this month, we're being sponsored by Pink and Main~ Please check them out and see all the goodies they have.  The Theme is "Summer Fun" and we were allowed to use some of our own fun images!  One of my favorite artists is Cheryl Alger and this is one of her digitals!  I just love the feet just sticking out there in the water~  I used some neat wavy water paper and used some summer ribbon with sentiments I had in my stash.  Look closely, the "button" I used is actually a brad that I stuck through the ribbon!
I hope you'll join us in this monthly challenge and enter YOUR summer creation!  We'd sure love to see you there!

Baby Boy Congratulations Card using Doodle Pantry!!

Friends of our sent the cutest Baby Boy birth announcement-he was sitting up in a fishing creel basket with a pole and a crocheted fish.  So adorable!!  The perfect chance to use one of the digital bundles at Doodle Pantry called Baby Shoes for my congratulations card~I fancy cut the shoes out and used pop dots on them.  All the patterned papers come with the set.  I used a Kraft cardstock from The Paper Cut as a mat-the color was perfect! 

As accents, I used pastel blue dew drops and rayon seam binding.  This seam binding was originally in a dusty blue but I like to make it vintage looking sooo to do that, I cut a long length, place in a plastic bag, I spritz it with walnut ink, wad it up into a ball and seal up the bag. Later I take out the very kinked up "ribbon" and let it air dry, still in the loose pile.  You get a very variegated ribbon and it looks very vintage.  The inside shows another paper, one of the included sentiments and a cute pewter dragonfly brad.
