Come and Get It Challenge is ATG ! Our sponsor is Knitty Kitty-how exciting!

This week at Come and Get It Challenge, we are showing off our Embossing Talents!  Of course, it's an Always Anything Goes Challenge so there's no reason you can't just join in the fun!  Our Sponsor is Knitty Kitty and this image is called Deep Sea Diver.  It is such a FUN image with so many options!  I have been saving this fantastic green/blue swirl paper that reminds me of the papers you used to make with the oil floating on top of water.  Perfect for sea water?  After coloring up the diver with Copics, it was on to Embossing.  I'm a Frantage nut so that was my solution.  I think you can

see it along "the sea floor" around his Flippers.  I used Aged Teal Frantage, a mixture of golds and teal embossing enamel.  I continued it up into the water area and mixed it among the seaweed, fish and bubbles.  I put a mask over the diving helmet the kitty's using and eventually coated it with Glossy Accents.  I used a small bubble die cut  next to the triple matted image and then used some gifted branchies in browns, spring green and mint green in a cluster, with a string bow and accented with a pewter sea shell.  On the inside, I used the reverse of the green water paper which was anchors.  The sentiment stamp is from KKS and a great sentiment to give a guy--hummm maybe at Father's Day! 
So I hope we will see you at our Challenge so that you can inspire us with your creations!

Crafting With Dragonflies-Animals

I'm ready for a SWIM with 2 CuteInk Digital Stamps

 The temps are indicating that it's time for a SWIM around here-Such Humid days-Whew!  Well at 2 CuteInk, they have just the images to help you express the SEAson to your friends. 
I'm using the image "Scuba Owl" from the
2 CuteInk Store and am using the phrase "Come and SEA me" on the front and a friendship verse on the inside.  Have some great
water paper-when used with the diamond stickles on the bubbles and on the verse, it makes you feel like the reflection of the water!  I hope you'll take a run through the store and catch some of the Father's Day images Heidi has available-Looks like a lot of fun!

Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet & ATG Challenge at Craft Your Passion!

For these 2 weeks at Craft Your Passion, we are being sponsored by Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet  
and I'm using the image "The Big One".  I chose to use this as a Birthday card.  Because my husband's a fisherman, I always have special design paper for just that use!  It's an adorable image for sure.  The sentiment is made on my computer.  The prize for the winner of our challenge of Any Thing Goes is : Choice of 3 digi stamps from store up to the value of $10.  You sure can't beat that!  Come on over and join us for the next 2 weeks!  You won't be disappointed!

Tuesday Morning Sketches sponsored by Doodle Pantry-Time to go fishing!

I just seem to be using these new June Releases from Doodle Pantry for so many of my Birthday cards-maybe it's because my husband collects and sells antique fishing lures.  I KNOW I can always use these for him and his friends!  This time I used my oval die to create a window looking out on the neat fishing scene for my entry on Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I tired to copy the sketch to show you here, but wasn't able to.  Along the edge of the oval instead of flowers, I placed some vintage fish and Lure stickers.  You were supposed to use a die for a curvy edge along the opening or use a curvy embellishment so I used another sticker in the set-fishing line w/lure.  The brown paper used on the front comes with the set and reminds me of the rails in the picture.  On the inside of the card, I used the paper included that remind me of the creel basket.  The sentiment comes with the DP set.  There are great sketches at Tuesday Morning so come along with us and join in the fun!

**********************************************

 I can't stop creating with these images from Doodle Pantry!  Next I used the Scallop Circle Swinging Z-Fold card blank in "Orange Fizz" from The Paper Cut to create my 2nd card. I put some Flower Soft in "Sand" at the bottom of the front, used the sentiments and paper included with the set.  See what I mean about the versatility of this group?

For the Fisherman in your Life from Doodle Pantry! Join in their Monthly Challenge~

 One of the June releases from Doodle Pantry is a great set for the Fisherman in your family.  And what a better time to use it than Father's Day or a Happy Birthday card for the Man of the House.  This card uses the neat patterned paper with images that remind you of fish in pretty blues and then I used the Terra cotta colored pattern paper that reminded me of the Creel Basket.  This basket is one of the images in this set as well as a fisherman leaning against the pier fishing.  The sand colored mat is also in the set and because they're pngs, I was able to layer them before printing- Leslie at Doodle Pantry sure makes it easy for you!  I've got these great branch punchies from a friend in several different colors so used them like weeds around the image and the NEAT button inside.  This set comes with several sentiments, one of which I used here.  Be sure to check out the first of every month for new releases AND join in with an entry to our monthly challenge and win some digis.  It's a win-win!!
