Use Your Stash Blog hop--Water(color) Fun

Thanks for joining us on the Use Your Stash Blog Hop! If you are hopping along with us, you should be coming from Janet's blog. 

This month's theme was to color.  Love the look of coloring, but don't take the time to do it as often as I should.  It worked out perfectly that this month's Stamp of the Month, Ice Cream Dream, was an outline set.  I love the set and used this opportunity to color with my Copics and Shinhan markers. 

For these first two, I used the stamp set along with the SOTM. 

Colors: Pear, Sunset, and Star Spangled Blue (retired)

This one used Pixie, Glacier, and Thistle.

For the last two cards, I used the Paper Fundamentals papers in Whimsy palette.

Ice Cream Dream: 

I still haven't had a chance to make a card with the adorable dog or sundae. Soon!

It's just $17.95 or $5 with a $50 order.  To order, click here. 

The next stop is Wendy's blog.  

If you get lost along the way, you can view the full list on Paige's blog. 

Summer Fun

The boys and I were talking about making sure we didn't waste our summer, so we decided to make lists of what we wanted to do.  I was feeling creative, so I got out my art pens and colored pencils.  This was my result.  I may not have advanced art skills, but I do love to doodle.  Reminds me of the elaborate notes I used to create for my friends back in the days before email, social media, and texting ;)

Blossom Layouts

Blossom layouts from May Club.  We used Blossom papers, Stickease, and embellishments. I love the bright summer colors.  I'm sorry for the poor lighting.  It was storming when I took this, so natural light was not there.

I actually borrowed this layout from my uplink, Michelle Snyder.  She's awesome, and I just fell in love with the layout! 

Blossom Cards

These are a few cards I made using Blossom papers and Stickease, along with various stamp sets.
