Tomorrow is Banana Split Sunday over at 2RedBanana's blog. This week you are challenged to use alphabet stickers on your creation. I love this adorable little Penny's Mushroom. She is illustrated by Mindy Baxter. It reminds of my daughter when she was little. This image is available at 2RedBanana's online store. 
Today is the kick off for the Dare To Get Dirty with the Splitcoaststamper's Dirty girls. Jen challenged us to make a card with a tag. I also created this for a friendly little challenge with some Twisted Sisters. This week's challenge was to make a food related card with ribbon, punch, dots, scallops and it had to be orange. I think I got all but the dots covered. Come join the fun over at SCS....
Cindy Motherway does a really fun challenge on her blog each Tuesday. She gives you a teapot and a story to be inspired by. This week it was a snail teapot. We all take a trip with her teapot too. This week we were to go to the Tour De France. I love Lance Armstrong's will and determination. I was sad to see him injured in this race. The journey for him must be incredible. Anyway, Cindy was watching the race and saw a huge group of snails crossing the road. Hence, her teapot challenge this week is a snail teapot. Here is all the info:
I hope you are all having a great day. It is suppose to be hot and sunny here today. Come on over to the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog for a fun sketch challenge. 2RedBananas is giving away a free set. I created this card with my heart cb folder. It is hard to see it but it is there. This is a newly released set called Tree Swingin Penny illustrated by the very talented Mindy Baxter. It is available today. Come join in the fun and get a chance to win a free set.
I created this card for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. We were to create a card with NO coloring. I added just a touch of color with my red. This was a fun challenge. I needed an anniversary card for my friend. I used SU rubons for the sentiment. I just got my new Paper Craft Magazine. They were saying that buttons are all the rage this year. I love buttons. I used a faux grid background and dazzling diamonds on her dress and veil. It is hard to see. Hope you have a super day. Come join the fun...
Today's Way's to use it challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to create a Christmas card in July. As I was coloring this image my son peeked over my shoulder and said "Why are you coloring Santa when it is summer time?" I told him you never know when Santa might be watching. He has since then cleaned his room and taken a shower without his usual complaining. I think it worked...LOL.
I created this card for the 2 different challenges. This last week the Twisted Sisters were to create a card with a "fruity" theme and you must use a ribbon and a punch. I chose this sweet little Splish Splash Citrus Bath image that was a RAK from my friend Grace. I colored with Prismapencils and added glitter and crystal effects to the glass. 
I hope you are all having a terrific and relaxing weekend. It is gorgeous here. It seems like ages since I created a card. I wanted to play along in the Clear Dollar Stamp's weekend color challenge. The challenge called for Barely Banana, Baja Breeze, and Real Red. I love these colors. I rarely use yellows. The designer paper is a small scrap of Urbain Prairie Weather Vane.
