Anything Goes at Monday Greetings-OUTLAWZ group---Lacy Sunshine is the Sponsor!

Today's entry at Monday Greetings at Outlawz is the end of my Guest Designer Spot and I'm so thankful that they asked me!  It has been a great chance to participate in their great website Group and use terriffic digital images from all their great sponsors.  Make sure that you keep coming back to participate in their weekly challenges-you won't be disappointed!
This week their sponsor is Lacy Sunshine Stamps and the theme is Anything Goes!  Who doesn't like that?!  I have a personal connection to this wonderful group run by Heather Valentin and just love her big eyed characters.  This week I'm using Reggie Let's BBQ and think it's perfect for the Holiday coming up!  Using some patriotic paper, I colored him up with Copics and used a new Gel pen called a Glaze pen on the steak and the colored part of his eyes.  This sure beats the heck out of Diamond Glaze and flows like a dream.  I made a fishtail banner out of starred paper, added a computer HAPPY sentiment and then added a glossy, thick chipboard #4.  In the inside, I used the backside of the design paper and used a Stamp'in up sentiment.  Hope you like?  Be sure to check out this Great Group at Outlawz and get your entry in so you can be eligible for the Prizes! 

Use Summer Coloring-Orange or Blue on Squigglefly this week!

This week the Squigglefly challenge is to create card using Orange or Blue (or both) as your primary color.   It can blue for the summer skies or the water to play in or orange for the sunshine.  Show at least one of these colors on your card or even both.  Your card does not have to be summer in theme, but either blue or orange should be the primary color of your card  We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.
I'm using one of Sandra Caldwell's images from her Americana series called Liberty Gal and it's sure appropriate for this time of year!  The card blank I'm using is the Double Hinge Fold from The Paper Cut in Wild Cherry.  It's a great way to start the card off and so easy to use as your
base!
Come on over and play-you'll have lots of fun!

It's anything goes at Seems a Little Sketchy this week

At Seems a Little Sketchy this week, our challenge is USE ANY IMAGE-any theme as long as you follow our sketch!  How easy is that!!!  I used the new image from Squigglefly Artist, Sandra Caldwell .  What with the Fourth of July coming soon, I used Liberty Gal centered with 2 squares of Holographic paper by Hot off the Press.  I love the way the stars are picking up the colors from the light!  The 2 sided paper has a great deep red checked on the back which I used for the corner features.  There are 3 silver adhesive stars instead of the banner.  I think this will make a great card for the Holiday wishes sent to a friend.  Be sure and join in our challenge this week-we are sponsored by The Robin's Nest and they are giving the winner a $10 Gift Voucher!  How Wonderful!

June Release time at Doodle Pantry-Liberty Bell For Me- Let Freedom Ring!!!

 As Doodle Pantry launches it's New Releases today, I chose to highlight the Liberty Bell set.  The rich papers and the detailed Bell make this a perfect group for those Patriotic cards for a Veteran or as an alternate to the Red, White, and Blue cards for Memorial Day or The Fourth of July.

Because these downloads come in both jpg and png images, it gives you the option to create your card manually or layered digitally. While you get several sentiments with this set, "It Rang as if it meant something" really pulled at my heart and I just HAD to honor it in the front. Then I added some die punched flourishes and a vintage faceted gem at the corner for dimensional accent. I like the look of the color block on the inside and another sentiment.

I'm going to enter this card here:
