Tic-Tac-Toe for July

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

I'm back with a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

  

I used the diagonal row: Insects, Fun Fold, and Paper Piecing

(My bug jar was paper pieced!)

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

9006 E Aglow with good times

9002 A Lightning Bug

9011 L Lightning Bug Jar

Here's what I made:

Isn't it fun how this folds flat and fits in a standard A-2 envelope?

Now it’s your turn! Create a card using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created!

Just a friendly reminder...

Hey ya'll...!

Just a friendly reminder that we have a challenge going on at the Scor-Pal blog!

We'd really like to give someone some shopping excitement this month, but we have to have 10 participants to have a winner. So.....we need your entries! I just looked, and so far, there are only 2 entries. 

The challenge is easy! It's Anything Goes with more than one fold, and you can add patriotic colors if you would like to. You have until the end of the month to create something with more than one fold!  You can create a fancy box with a dozen folds, or a gatefold card with 2 folds!

Here was my project this month:

Hope to see your project posted at the Scor-Pal blog!!!

Have fun creating, and Happy Scoring!

A little of this and that...

Hi there!

Hope your weekend has been good.

I'm going to be popping in quite a bit in July, August, and September with what I call 'blurb' blog posts!  I'm traveling from mid July until September 1st, almost daily, and won't have time for long posts. Seems like a good time to just post stuff I've created but never had time to share!

Here is day one!

If you have any questions, let me know!

I needed a sympathy card quickly, and reached for these lovely flowers from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, and some paper and a sentiment from Stampin'Up. This went together SO quickly, and I think I will be using these flower a LOT!

A friend of ours is a Stampin'Up demonstrator. Every two weeks, she has a get together at Panera's where we drink coffee and create a card. Last time, Sally surprised us with envelopes full of misc. cardstock, papers, twine, and a die cut shape. We were told to create a card to earn a free pass for a future Card and Cuppa at Panera's. This is what I made with my mystery envelope!

Another creation using Stampin' Up - did this one at the last Card and Cuppa.

I made these darling little treat holders for a group of ladies at church that we love to spoil.

That's all for today!

Thanks for dropping by - have a blessed week!

Anything Goes at Scor-Pal

Happy June, everyone!

July already? Seriously?

Seems like I just barely flipped from 2018 to 2019 on the calender, and here we are halfway through the year already...time flies when you're having fun!  This is my second post today. If you are looking for my 2 Crafty Critter Crazies post, just scroll up!

The monthly challenge at Scor-Pal, is Anything Goes, with an option of patriotic, and of course, more than one fold.

I created a darling gift box, and it was completed and photographed before I remembered the Patriotic twist to this challenge. It would have been pretty cute in red, white, and blue!

For my project, I used: Scor-Pal Eighths, and Scor-Tape 1/4".

Here is the box...

We hope to see your creations with texture in our 'More Than One Fold', Scor-Pal challenge!

We also have a ton of inspiration in the Projects section of the Scor-Pal website and also on our Pinterest Board to help you get creative! 

Happy Scoring!

Patti J.

P.S. You can find the instructions for this great little gift box HERE!

A Lap Full of Kittens...

Good morning everyone!

I'm excited today to be be back today, to share a fun creations for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!  This is a fun group - each creation must include a critter, and you all know how much I love critters!

Since it's the first of July, there is a brand new challenge at the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge Blog!

The sponsor for June is 'A Day for Daisies'.  Their images are so sweet. I couldn't wait to color this one, as it looks like our granddaugher! This card will go in the mail to her today! This image is 'A Lap Full of Kittens'. Unfortunately, like me, her momma is uber-allergic to kitties, so she may have to wait a long time to own one, but she sure loves cuddling with them!

Here's my card:

I printed the image on white cardstock, then used Copic markers and created a hardwood floor, and pretty wall for the little girl to enjoy.  I love adding to an image to create a scene.

Hope you like it!

Please check out the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies blog to see some great inspiration that the design team is sharing with you. We hope that you will all play along this month - can't wait to see your critter creations!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

Anything Goes at The House that Stamps Built!

Happy Wednesday!

It's Wednesday again! Today is a new challenge for Repeat Impressions Stamps.

It’s and 'Anything Goes' challenge at the Repeat Impressions blog, The House that Stamps Built, we hope you will join us!

Well, I know I've been gone a long time, but one thing hasn't changed....I still get terrified when I see an inspiration challenge!!!  I had NO idea what to do with this photo, so I thought I'd go with all of it: the colors, the wacky shapes, and the little sprig of flowers at the top of the photo.

Here's what I made using this Repeat Impressions Stamp:

8611 E Thinking

629 I Mountain Vista

3412 C Gulls in Flight

I first sponged my 'scene', then stamped the Mountain Vista twice, being sure not to get the little sunshine in the photo twice! Added the birds and sentiment, and Voila! Easy, peasy, quick card!

Now it’s your turn!

We hope you will create a card that has a focus on today’s challenge, and enter it in our challenge at The House that Stamps Built!  Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them!  Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!
