Sunrises and Sunsets!

This morning, I woke up and looked outside my kitchen window. I got a big surprise - the sky knew it was the Fourth of July!


And every day must come to an end so I did a card showing the sunset somewhere cold - the opposite of what it is here in Alabama! This week there were a lot of challenges with the Sun so I am participating in several of them with this fun little Sassy Cheryl image called Jump, Snowman, Jump (available at Squigglefly).

Squigglefly - Let the Sunshine In
Splitcoast Stampers - Queen for the Day - I cased THIS card by mr33634

    Well a gorgeous sky in that picture. And that darling snowman is just as precious as can be. I love the different types of embossing on this one and your little flowers. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Wow, your card stopped me in my tracks this morning, Nancy! What gorgeous compilation of the embossing, the roundness of the image to show the idea of the sun and that dramatic color! Came together as a beautiful Christmas in July card! You might like to visit the Christmas in July challenge at http://yourscrapbookplace.blogspot.com/2014/07/christmas-in-july-challenge.htm

    Love everything about this! So cute! Sorry I've been MIA, but you've been busy and have created some great projects. Especially like the watermelon carriage and the nuts and bolts card. I was just down in your neck of the wood and it was HOT!

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.
