Happy July 4th!

I know, I know...it's still June.  But July is right around the corner and next Friday is the 4th of July!  Here in the USA it's a time to celebrate our country and all she has come through.  I'm thankful to be an American and thankful for all the freedoms we have here in this great country!  And I'm very thankful for all those who have served and given so much of their time, energy, and even some their lives to protect those freedoms we enjoy.

In honor of the 4th of July, I'm sharing a card I made using a set from Deedee's Digi's called "Hat's Off".  (And you just have to head over to Deedee's Digi's because there are FREEBIES that would be perfect for this time of year!!!).  Just head on over to the blog and then click on the Shop button....

Lighthouse

Shaped cards.  You might get excited when you are challenged with that theme...but I shake in my shoes!  LOL!!!  And of course - that is the new theme over at Digistamps4Joy.  But I was up for the task and decided to use red, white, and blue for my color scheme since it is so close to July 4th.  The image I used is called Lighthouse.  I couldn't decide what kind of shape to use....so then I thought about cutting out the image.....and I must admit that I like how it turned out...what do you think:

New Release - Selena

It's Sunday which means it's time for new releases at Digistamps4Joy!  This week's releases are soooooo cute!!!  I was able to use "Selena" and she's just adorable!!

Distress It!

It's a another bitter sweet day for me - today is my last post as part of The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Design Team.  I've enjoyed being part of this wonderful group, but time constraints have meant that I have had to say goodbye for now.  But I'll be back to participate in challenges! 

This week the challenge is "DISTRESS IT" so come on over and show us some great distressing techniques!  This one is way outside my comfort zone....but I tried.....

The image is called "Train" from our sponsor, QKR Stampede.  The embossing layer was sent to me and I "distressed" it with some darker ink to really bring out the steel plate feel.  I then went over it with sandpaper to give it and even more "distressed" feel.  I also went over the image very lightly with that same ink pad.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• Creative Knockouts - embossing
• Paper Crafting Journey - anything goes
• Creative Moments - anything goes/boys
• Cuttlebug Mania - transport

Super Hero Panda - Kitty Bee Designs

It's hard to believe another month has come and gone and here we are - time for my DT Spotlight.  This weekend is Father's Day and I have a friend who is about to become a new daddy so a baby card was in order.  I used "Super Hero Panda" - cause it's just a cute image for a baby card and because my friend is certainly going to be a Super Hero Dad!  Stop on over at the Kitty Bee Etsy shop to see what fun images are there - I know you'll not be able to be there without saying "AWWWWWW" and "I want that!" at least once!  Enjoy your weekend!!!  And Happy Father's Day!!!

God bless you and thank you for stopping by today!
