Remembering Summer continues for another week at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Last long weekend of the summer, school starts on Tuesday and I will start bowling today, it seems just like we had our end of bowling luncheon and now it's time to start again.  This will be my last post for The Cheerful Stamp Pad, Vicki is taking a well deserved rest from challenges I will keep you posted if she restarts the challenge blog.  On with the challenge, the theme is Remembering summer and the sponsor for the challenge is Little blue Button Stamps check them out, cute images and some freebies.

I chose Miss Lily on the beach image, I fussy cut most of the image but cut the base with a classic oval die, I had a "failed" iwatercoloured background on my table and thought wow that will make a nice background for Miss Lily, it was just large enough to cut with the classic oval, I then flat attached the image.

Close up of the sweet image and the background,

Wasn't sure what sentiment I would use so it's blank and yes I know the patterned paper is upside down. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I would love to see your idea of Remembering summer is, so add your project to the Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Challenge #119 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is ~~ Remembering Summer

Happy Friday!! are you looking forward to the weekend? You can tell fall is in the air as all the Fall Fairs are in full swing. I entered some cards at our local fair which is this week.  Little Blue Button Stamps is the sponsor for the challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.  We were given some cute images to play with and they also have freebies on  the blog. I used a free image from the blog, it certainly looked like she is remembering Summer. I chose pink tones for my card as for me that is a summer colour. My friend Jessi was the sketch designer at Tuesday Morning sketches and I thought it would work for my image although my focal point was a circle, here is what I did for the challenge.

Isn't she just the perfect "remembering" picture? The sentiment I used is the summer stamp of a set of four seasons stamps from Hero Arts, they are probably discontinued as they are over 10 years old.

Week 2 of Challenge #118 ~~ Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday!!! another week has gone by and The Cheerful Stamp Pad is still celebrating Birthdays for challenge #118.  Little Blue Button Stamps is the sponsor for this challenge and we were given some really cute images,  I went to the store and found some freebies, the one I used is the July free image and was so excited as it is a fabulous image for a girl friend.

As you see I'm doing all my crafting at the lake and I use what every I have brought and I always hope I have the "right stuff" I love this frame it has 4 parts to it and you cut them all at once which leaves leftovers for other projects. Besides the frame there is a rectangle with an oval cut out of it and a small oval and when you see the inside of the card, a very narrow frame.  I love lime green and blue together so coloured the girls with copics and put them in the frame.

Now doesn't that thin frame look awesome around the sentiment, it's very flimsy and a chore to glue it in place but so worth the effort. 

Thanks for checking out my blog today, don't forget you have until Thursday to enter your project at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

This fortnight there is a new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad it's "Birthday" well that's so easy we all need to have some extra birthday cards in our stash for those almost forgotten dates. The sponsor for the challenge is Little Blue Button Stamps and have been generous with some images for us to use. I chose Sophie with Flower for the first week of the challenge.

Challenge #117 Anything Goes continues................

The Cheerful Stamp Pad's Anything Goes challenge #117 continues with the Sponsor Little Blue Button Stamps. This time I used an adorable digi from our sponsor, a little girl hugging a cupcake. I also used my favourite colour......Purple.

I was given an old crafting book and found this cute sketch that worked perfect for my image, I even got to use my sewing machine on it. The card is 5 1/4 inches square.

The sentiment is from Printworks, one of my collection of 3.

Thanks for stopping by today and have an awesome weekend!!!
