♥ Summer Fruits ♥

Happy Wednesday! We have a "sweet" new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This week we want to see "Summer Fruits"! Watermelon, cherries, cantalope, etc!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by American Crafts! I used some cute 6x6 papers and Die cuts from the Mayberry line. I also used the Mason Jar stamp from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line. Unfortunately that cute little stamp set is sold out but you can get a similar Jar Stamp, also from the Dear Lizzy line.

I love that cute little red wagon from the Mayberry Pie Die Cuts. It was a cute little "holder" for my summer fruits! I finished off the card with some satin ribbon, twine, Liquid Pearls and I used some Crackle Accents on the Mason Jar.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Over at Splitcoast, Simon Says Stamp is hosting a new challenge on the SCS Forum. This month's theme is "Nautical". It runs the entire month of June and the Random winner will receive a Simon Says Stamp Grab Bag! You can see all of the details HERE! :)

♥ Sweet Flowers... ♥

I hope you all are having a lovely week so far. My son has only 4 days left of being a 1st grader! Yikes! How did my baby get so big, so fast?? They grow up way too fast!! I can't wait to have him home with me every day this summer! Lots of swimming...walks on the Boardwalk...eating BBQ...playing with his sweet, little friends...sleeping at Grandma and Grandpa's house! He is just too excited! {And so am I!} We also had a nice visit this past week from my sister and brother-in-law. The kids had so much fun with them!

This is a sweet little card that I made with some of the new Digi Garden Papers by Crafty Secrets! They are so summery fresh! Beautiful patterns, colors and sweet little seed packet papers in both flowers and vegetables. Love that flower Ad paper too!!

The "Flower Seed Packet" is from one of the Seed packet papers which I made larger in some photo editing software. On the flower paper alone there are 24 different images to use! Or you can just print it out smaller to use as a background paper for a card, scrapbook page or some other type craft. The possibilities are endless! And what's even better is the entire set is only $9.95 and can be used over and over again!! I purchased the cute mini shovel HERE.

And starting tomorrow over on the fabulous Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog, one of the sponsors will be Crafty Secrets! You'll have a chance to win a $40 Gift Certificate to the Crafty Vintage Girl Store! Good luck everyone!

Have a sweet day!!

♥ On the move... ♥

Happy Hump Day! That means, it's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This time the theme is "Transport". Think cars, planes, trains, bicycles, rocket ships, wagons, etc.

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Basic Grey! I love the Oliver line by BG. It is so cute, especially for making little boy cards. It has lots of trains and even a cute little wagon in it. So that is what I used for my card. I used the Oliver Chipboard Stickers, Die Cut Shapes and Rub On Book. I love that sweet little chipboard train! I gave it a little bling with some glitter on its wheels and some Liquid Pearl centers.

The cute papers are by Heidi Swapp from the Vintage Chic 8x8 Paper Pack. I added some white acrylic paint to the edges of the aqua colored paper.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
