Tag You're It Challenge #24

Welcome tag creators!

It's challenge #24, and our inspiration comes from the fabulous Anja Curvors!

I'm such a fan, love her clever work, and her inspiration tag/card is full of

her joy of the craft!

Aqua water color, animal cutie, and stars were my inspiration.

I recently made my 1st Mama Elephant order, (don't know what took me so long!)

Love their simple sweet images and dies.

My pandas are from Pandamonium, and the balloon, tassel, and hello string

from Party Kit.

Hope your find inspiration here and on the other designers' blogs,

and find time to add your creation.

We love to see what you come up with, and comment,

and the winner receives a guest designership at TYI!

Paper Sweeties June Release Rewind!

Hi and welcome to Paper Sweeties June Release Rewind.

This is where we get to combine the older release with 

the new.

One of the new stamps sets, Let's Go to the Beach, has this adorable hot air balloon.

It's perfect for coloring with pencils, watercolors or as I did, copics.

Covered the whole balloon with Glossy Accents.

Added some twine from (Paper Sweeties!),

and added the banner from Hello Friend

Happy Everything is where you can find '4th of July'.

Hope you've enjoyed this month's release.

And hope you'll visit each of the designer's blogs to check out their projects!

Waltzingmouse June PJ Party Challenge 2: Coffee Colour Palette

Waltzingmouse's most recent release, 

included this delightful Mini Coffee Bag die.

It's perfect for gifting.

I die cut a window into it from Coffee Set, of a vintage grinder.

A few sweet posies at the bottom, embossed in ivory, and copic colored,

and a Stitched Tag with the same image and a sentiment complete.

The darling mini bag holds just enough coffee for one or two cups.

Thanks - MIM #214 Stamping With Neutrals

Dawn is known for her bold color combos, 

but she shows us a toned down version this week on MIM

at PapertreyInk.

More to allow the die cuts to take center stage, 

she picked neutrals and stamped off once.

I love creating my own wallpaper,  and did from Background Basics: Medallion.

Didn't have to stamp off, the Fine Linen was pale enough.

2nd stamp from Winter Wisteria.

Bookmark die #3: Royal Velvet

The Sweet Life stamps and dies: 

Winter Wistera, Plum Pudding, Royal Velvet inks

Leaves Fine Linen: stamped in Fine Linen and Classic Kraft.

Thanks: Gold Embossed: Friendly Flowers

Gold squiggle: The Sweet Life.

Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop

Excited to play along with the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop.

You may use coffee, tea, or cocoa with your creation,

and may enter as often as you wish.

Decided on an ice tea theme.

Emma's sampling the tea and seems to enjoy her refreshing drink!

The blog  hop runs from the 5th - 12th and features so many exciting sponsors,

among them Paper Sweeties!

A $50. gift certificate, WOW! 

All stamps and dies: Paper Sweeties.

Made my ice tea glasses

Copics and Glossy Accents.

                                       

You're a Peach!

Playing along with PTI's challenge,

and Betsy Veldman's 'Cool Condensation Effects'.

It's summer fruit season here in the Central Valley,

and peaches are a favorite!

Found the peach image from Scent-imentals, and rock n rolled on inks until I liked 

the results. 

Betsy showed us how to put droplets of water on our images with Glossy Accents.

Looks like the dew of the morning!

Quilted Summer,

Center Style: Masculine

Shaker Shapes: Square

PTI Cardstocks, & Inks

A quick edit to show you some Valley peaches

Fresh picked and ready for cobbler!

Also, watched our grandsons last night, and the 3 year old 

helped decorate grandma's card when I wasn't looking!

Saving this one to show him when he's 20!

It's all good, maybe he'll grow up to be cardmaker!
