Summer Fun! 12 Kits of Occasion ~ June

Hello all~ It's the last day of the month and that means it's time for our 12 Kits of Occasion post.  This month was my month to host and I chose brightly colored papers and warm, summer images to celebrate this wonderful season of summer.  A complete list of supplies I used, can be found over at the 12 Kits of Occasion blog under the Monthly Kit Supplies tab.

Thanks Lindsey for always making our kits look amazing each month with your brilliant photography skills.  (hugs)

Here are the cards I made using this month's kit:

I wish I had a stack of this fun flamingo paper from Echo Park!  Brightly colored flamingo's and fresh, juicy watermelon is the epitome of summer to me.   

This sentiment is like my motto... so true!!

 I used copics to color this lovely bird from Sweet N' Sassy Stamps to look like a blue bird.  I added light, feathery details with a white gel pen. 

Another card that just says "Summer" to me.  

I Love this darling image from Penny Black.  She's colored using copics and I added white gel pen accents and waves rolling on the beach.

And lastly, who can't help but adore these cute little penguins from MFT's Penguin Paradise.  Summer penguins are so much fun!

Now it's time to hop on over to the 12 Kits of Occasion blog to see how my talented teamies used this kit.

Crazy Quackers

Good morning~  I'm popping in with a cute card I actually made a while ago and never got around to posting.

It will fit in nicely with the challenge going on over at Time Out Challenges, their theme is "funny"

This set from Sugarpea Designs is called  Quackers.  It's an older set but these ducks never fail to make me smile. I stamped the images on Neenah 80# Solar White Cardstock and colored them in using Copic Markers.
I feel like the duck with it's head in the water.  Sometimes I think I live under a rock in my own little world, coming up for air once in a while.

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
The Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Any Occasion
Time Out Challenges ~ Funny
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Let Us Adore Him ~ Glitter, Sparkle & Shine!

Happy Monday morning friends!  Has it really been two weeks since my last post?  Time sure does fly by.  There's a new challenge over at Christmas Kickstart Challenge and the theme is "Glitter, sparkle & shine!"  What girl can resist that challenge??

 My card uses a sparkly reindeer donning a bright red scarf and a strip of glitter paper along the side.  I added some lovely plaid prints from Lawn Fawn in yummy Christmas colors and a heat embossed sentiment in white.

The printed papers were used so I could add this to the Double D Challenges "Pick A Pattern" challenge. 

I'll also be entering this card into the Word Art Wednesday Challenge  where it's always "Anything Goes.

There's still plenty of time to play along with all of these challenges.  If you click on the links below it'll take you directly to them.
