Peace & Love - Christmas Trees

Back to Christmas cards. Christmas trees was the prompt at Make My Monday. I pulled out some Hero Arts supplies from an event a few years ago. 

Trees with glitter paper is all Christmas. I added some rub-ons for my background, and strip of glitter paper to anchor it all. 

Another holiday card for the stash. 

Need a task? Pull out some old supplies and get busy.

Sweetest Birthday Wishes

My card today was inspired by the Make My Monday challenge prompt of food and/or drink. I took the dessert route of cake and ice cream using a set from Pink & Main.

I used pattern papers that were on my table from a previous project. I love how the balloon paper in the background adds to the party theme. Am I the only one who can't throw away pattern paper scraps? They came in handy for this card.

I found myself wanting an ice cream sandwich after making this card (and I don't really even like ice cream sandwiches). 

I hope you find some time to create something fun!

Belated Birthday Card with Critters

Wild animals were the challenge at Make My Monday, and so over the weekend I created this card which is full of desert critters. I've got a road runner, a fennec fox, a snake and a scorpion. 

And while not a critter, I also have a flying cake.

And a "Happy Birthday" sentiment that sneaks in. My pattern paper is from Dear Lizzy.American Crafts and was perfect for this card. 

I love interactive cards and find them so fun to make.

Snappy Birthday

I got a little crafty with my pile of stamped Pink & Main images. Make My Monday's challenge is coloring medium. I had stamped some images a few weeks ago for a different MMM challenge, so I pulled out my bag of images and got to coloring again. I used Copics as my coloring medium for the critters, and then created a watercolor background for my ocean.

Stickles in all the right places, and some Glossy Accents on the mask and the beach ball. 

You all may be seeing more of these gators (crocs) in the next couple of weeks.

I hope you get the chance to get inky!

Ice Cream Is . . .

Created an ice cream themed card for Make My Monday Challenge. 

I have been digging through my stash of paper packs and stamps. I love the color combination of this paper. I felt as though a good mint chocolate chip ice cream was the perfect match.

And here I sit, with no ice cream in the refrigerator.

I hope you find some time to create (and shop for ice cream).

Give Me a Smile, Crocodile

"Outdoor Summer Fun" is the theme at Make My Monday Challenge. I pulled out some images and got busy creating a scene for some swimmers! 

I started by creating some watercolor waves, and then created my cloudy background piece. 

And then I got busy creating my scene with my die cuts and accents, right down to the Glossy Accents on the snorkel mask. 

I hope you have some time to get crafty or have some summer fun.
