Hellooooo. Hoping that those of you who celebrate the 4th of July had a wonderful day yesterday! We didn't do much ourselves except go to a local parade, BBQ for dinner and *hear* (not see) lots and lots of fireworks late into the night. It kept me up for a while, but eventually I was able to sleep and didn't mind so much. It only happens once a year and is always so fun.
Today I have two cards for you for two challenges from two of my favorite stamps companies! The first is for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge blog, the July 1-8 trend watch based on this picture.
Obviously, I was feeling a little red-white-and-blue here, I didn't go that direction on purpose, but hey, whatever works! :) I like the crayon from the Smarty Pants set, because I feel it channels the kid in all of us. In this card it represents what was and what is and would be a perfect card for a teacher or maybe a graduate.
Second I have another card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #37, Using Dimesion. You may have seen my first post here in which they let me be guest designer for a day on this challenge! My first time being a guest designer, so super exciting for me! :) :) This card is actually my entry for the contest.
This stork is my fave stamp in this stamp set- Plus One. I have made so many cards with this birdie! I also used the little tiny heart from the set, colored it with my glittery jelly roll pen and cut it out to put it on that bundle of joy for a little extra emphasis. You can see the close up below. :)
I am expecting a some LF stamps in the mail any day now, belated b-day present from my hubby (ISN"T HE THE BEST!) and I am seriously chomping at the bit waiting for them!
