Christmas in July

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

Hope everyone is doing well. No I'm not crazy if that's

what your thinking. Most of the bloggers that we follow

have an Etsy shop and in July as do many other stores

they have a sale which they call Christmas in July. I just

want to remind everyone and that it's never to early to start

buying for Christmas. You might find that something that

you were looking at and wanted but didn't really want to

spend that much. You just might find it on sale now. In my

header picture is a card that I coloured the Santa. I like

how he turned . My colouring is getting better don't you

think? I still have a ways to go though.

Card Recipe:

Patterned paper by Me and My Big Ideas

Bazzill cardstock in white, red and green

Rubber stamps: Recollections, and

Stampin Up

Watercolors

Stazon black ink

Embellishments: Bubble stickers

Craft ribbon

Glitter

Hope you all find some great sales. I'm going to enter

this card over at Christmas Card Throwdown

Hello Fellow Bloggers,

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe. Today in

my header picture is a card that I made to celebrate the 4th

of July which is around the corner. I cut out the star on my

cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. I then added

glitter trying to make it look like a flag. The small satrs were

a little harder to get to work out. I made the best of it I guess

you can say. Not great but it'll do. I stamped a few more

stars on the card and outlined the edge of the card with a

black sharpie. In the picture below you can read what the

sentiment says.

This sentiment is a rubber stamp that I picked up at a

yard sale that was not mounted and I have no idea who

the maker is but I like it.

Hope you all like it too. Until my next post have a

Splendid Weekend!!!!!!!

New pictures

Hello Fellow bloggers,

I hope that everyone is doing well. As many of you know by

now I had been fighting with my camera and so the pictures

that are posted on my blog today are of cards that I had already

blogged about before. These pictures are re-takes. Just trying to

get a camera any camera to work for me. Maybe it's not the

camera, maybe it's just me....LOL.....

I still have to work some kinks out as I see the pictures

here on the blog. So be patient with me as I get it together.

I also would like to remind you that LIIU has a challenge

that will be closing soon so if you want to join in, best check

HIMCR Challenge #51

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers,

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy. It's

Saturday and the start of a new Challenge over at Hiding

In My Craft Room. Challenge # 51 is

Mix It Up: Masculine Birthday

In my header picture is the card I made.

I need to tell you that the Clown in the Car is not a digi

but a rubber stamp from the Kitty-lane Craft Stamps. I

had been playing around with adding some colour to it.

Now mind you I am not that good at it but I tried. I will

have to try colouring it again since I have learned a few

things in colouring. You know there are alot of tutorials

out there to teach you. Oh and I coloured the image with

water colors.

We would love it if you joined in and played along.

HIMCR #50 - Embossing

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers,

Hope everyone is enjoying thier weekend. Today we begin a

new challenge over at Hiding In My Craft Room. Challenge

#50 Embossing. So everyone get out your embossing ink

and your embossing powders and show us what you have

created. You have until Friday, June 22nd to link up

your creation to get entered into the monthly drawing

this week. When uploading to online galleries please

use code HIMCR50.

This is what I came up with for this weeks challenge.

I embossed the sentiment and image with black embossing

powder. I also dry embossed part of the white layer. My

heat embossing is kind of hard to tell on this card. Please

forgive me. I'm working with a new camera my old one kind

of gave up on me.

We would really love for you to join us in our new challenge.
