Another baby card for my new grand-friend’s parents. So another attempt at a CAS along the edge card using Beth Silaika for GKD’s Bella Elephant stamp set, some patterned paper for paper piecing and although you cannot see it I scored three lines next to my image to complete the optional twist of dry embossing for this week’s challenge.

Hope everyone enjoys their day. We are heading back to hotter and more humid temperatures beginning tomorrow. Stay cool, stay safe and thanks for stopping in for a peek.

A card for a new grand-friend born yesterday. Mom, Baby Miles, Dad, Big Sister and Nonna are all doing well!

The Sunday Stamps challenge this week is a sketch challenge by Melissa.

I feel like a rebel instead of the rule person that I normally am. I turned my version of the sketch into a gatefold card. With those two strips behind the circle, the sketch just seem to scream gatefold to me. And I jumped in that direction. I have all of the elements and move the sentiment to the top right. It was a fun card to create using stamps from Stamp Oasis’s Little Cowboy and Gina K Designs Oh Baby! and patterned paper from my stash.

Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek.

I have been waiting to turn that calendar page to play along with the August Halloween challenge with the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge group. My project today includes patterned paper from a SSS Halloween kit and SSS sentiment strips. My spider was created using SU punches. OMG….years ago I made so many of these with my girlfriends for their grandkids to take to school as treats. Unfortunately, the packaging was changed on the York Peppermint Patties so I think this candy treat is a thing of the past.

Just how much fun is this that I can also play along with the Just Us Girls Challenge by turning my project into a gift card holder. Wild Card Week challenge is anything but a card. I continued the inside gift card holder section with the same patterned paper and used SU’s Googly Ghosts.

So much fun to make this card and brings back good girlfriend memories. They may be receiving this card—-minus the gift card part…LOL. Thanks for stopping in for a peek.

The challenge at The Paper Players is a theme challenge by Joanne: Beside the Seaside. We finally had our first visit to a beach at the Jersey shore on Friday so I remembered our Buddy Lisa K’s recent card and used our visit, her card and the inspiration photo to create my card.

The stamps used for this card were: Hero Arts Color Layering Waves, GKD’s Nurturing Blooms for the sentiment, Melanie Muenchinger for GKD’s Gifts from the Sea for my birds and my Bonnie cloud stencil.

Lisa’s sympathy card can be seen here.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. Stay Safe!

Hello!! I decided to join in the Just Us Girls’ Challenge for this week hosted by Nancy and her inspiration photo

which is very nautical. I decided to focus on the striped and the colors to create my card today. My stripes were created using the Pretty Pink Posh wide stripe stencil and some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink. The SimonSaysStamp Painted Friend die was cut 3 times from a navy cardstock which was also used as a layering piece. And my Concord & 9th Hello is from their Triple-Step Blooming Heart stamp set was stamped in Gina K ink.

Thanks for stopping for a peek. Hope everyone is enjoying their day. Stay safe out there!
