I used Stampin' Up Lemon Lime Twist card for my base and the DP is also lemon-lime twist (don't know why the color shows up so strange-it is LLT), a scrap of the gingham gala DP, and not sure what set the dotted one is from. The sentiment is one from my 'extras' box, die is from SU Stitched nested labels. The image (not sure what company this is from-it was in my colored stash) is colored with Copics and cut with spellbinders labels 17die. Used a piece of washi tape between the 2 papers.<br />

The school colors are red and white-and I just happened to have some red & white patterned papers - a 4x6 pad I purchased at a rummage sale, so I have no idea what the brand is-but it's very nice paper. (the pack had these designs in about 5 different colors!)</div>

When folded flat the card is A2 size, and opens to this cute little box. The sentiment is from Art Impressions-Reach for the Stars. I used various dies, including Sweet & Sassy Congrats Grad (cap & scroll), MFT Lucky Stars and L'il Inkers Balloon and swirl dies. As well as a couple of stickers from my graduation embellishments stash:)</div>

<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since I posted on my blog! I'm challenging myself to get back into the habit of blogging my cards again-maybe even enter a few challenges again. Anyway..............<br />
<br />
I had graduation cards left from last year, most of which I have at a little local restaurant for sale. I kept 2 home, just in case! (Didn't think I had any graduates other than my granddaughter and she gets a special card) Well, my daughter used those 2 cards, which meant I had to come up with 2 more quick when I got a couple of late announcements. So these are quick and simple cards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I used the Impression Obsession "Hats Off to you" die, cut them out in blue and black. The base of both cards is some royal blue cardstock-bazzil, I believe. For the background I used a 4" x 5.25" piece of Cougar 80# white cardstock and the Darice mortarboard embossing folder. I highlighted the hats with a Clear Wink of Stella marker. The sentiment is stamped with Momento Blue Danube ink on Cougar, and die cut. The dies are Spellbinders-just not sure what ones they are! <br />

I first stamped the geisha girl in momento black, then stamped again on post-it masking tape and cut it out. I placed it over the stamped image on card base and then masked the strip down the front and added Pebbles chalks to form a soft background.

I added some clear Wink of Stella marker to the flowers on the umbrella and kimono, but my camera doesn't capture it well.</div>

We seem to be getting summer in little bursts that don't last long. But no severe weather, so I am grateful for that. My heart goes out to those in lower Michigan and elsewhere where they have been getting hit by such severe weather.<br />
<br />
Today I have a card that was made with 'scraps' laying on my work table.<br />

The 2 design papers are from the DCWV mat-stack Naturals. It's really hard to see that the designs on the papers are copper metallic. The scraps were from a card I made last week. The owl die-cut (Sizzix die) has been floating around my table since last fall, and he finally found a home :) I highlighted the lines of his wings and neck, and filled in the beak with a Memento brown marker and the center of his eye with a memento black marker. The brown paper he is cut from looks like corduroy-giving him texture. I rubbed some brown chalk on the branch he is standing on. The sentiment is from JustRite stamps 'Owl Be There' stamp set, stamped on SU Very Vanilla cardstock with Brilliance Cosmic Copper ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I punch the sentiment out with SU Decorative label punch, then punched it out of brown paper and cut it in quarters and mounted behind the panel...It's all mounted on a base of dark brown cardstock. Inside I stamped "It's your birthday'.</div>

As I mentioned a couple of posts back, I really need a new camera. My best camera broke, and I don't know of any place that fixes them. The one I've been using is quite old, and doesn't catch the colors very well. Or maybe it's my editing program, I don't know- but colors are just not quite right. Hmmmmm....</div>

Not that I'm complaining about the cooler weather-I'm not a fan of heat. It's just been so gloomy lately. Sunshine for at least part of the day today-then more rain. Good time to craft, and that's just what I'm going to do. Our craft group is having an 'overnighter' this Friday-Saturday at our church. Not that we sleep over (too old for sleeping on the floor anymore), we all live close enough to just go home when we get tired and return in the morning.<br />

Stamped image is from Sweet N' Sassy 'Flowers in Bloom' set, stamped with Momento Black on Gina K Pure Luxury white cardstock, colored with Copics, then die cut with the matching Flowers in bloom die. One of the coneflowers in my garden I thought'd I'd lost to either the rabbits or the deer, but I see it is coming back-darn critters! But I love to see them, too, so I guess as long as they didn't destroy the plant it's all okay;0.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The DP is from American Crafts-Everyday paper pad. Sentiment from My Favorite Things 'Essential Sentiments' stamped with Versa Color Raspberry on Canson Iced Gold Shimmer cardstock and cut out with Simon Says Stamp's small folded banners. Background mat is SU Strawberry Slush cardstock. Border is the Canson gold shimmer punched with MS scalloped border punch. I added some tiny CTMH rhinestones to the center of the border flowers. </div>

The theme at <a href="http://onelayersimplicitychallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/06/ols-17-round-and-round.html" target="_blank">One Layer Simplicity</a> this month is 'Round and Round'-use 2 circles only.

I diecut 2 circles overlapped out of a piece of copy paper, then placed it over my card base and sponged Momento Sky Blue ink onto the base. I stamped the Iris image from Penny Black 'Allegro' clear stamp set with Momento Luxe Blue Danube. The sentiment and dragonfly are from Clear Art Stamps-Wildflowers set. The sentiment stamped in Mom. Black Tuxedo, the dragonfly with Brilliance Galaxy Gold. Border punched the edge of the card with M.S. scalloped border punch. The border stamp (It's either Inkadinkadoo or Fiskars) is stamped in Galaxy Gold.<br />

It really is much nicer in person. Next time I go to town I am getting a new camera!<br />

The image is from Repeat Impressions-doe & fawn, stamped on Neenah cardstock with Momento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment, from an old Stampin' Up set, with Tuxedo black on white cardstock and colored it with a cream Copic and trimmed around it with scissors. I used a piece of cardboard that I peeled apart for the kraft background. The border strip is from an old Paper Pizazz paper pack.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I rounded two corners of the panels with a corner punch (the sketch is a sketch frenzy Friday from a couple weeks ago, I reversed the rounded corners to fit my image). </div>

While I'm glad our soldiers are being brought home and fewer troops are being deployed 'over there', I NOW NEED TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO SEND MY CARDS!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Today my card if for a 'Dad'. I've used the sketch from <a href="http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.ca/2015/06/challenge-128-sketch.html" target="_blank">CAS Colours and Sketches #128.</a> I will also enter this in the<a href="http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.com/2015/06/93-use-your-stash-artbymiran.html" target="_blank"> Creative Knockouts challenge#</a>93-use your stash (the papers-I've had them forEVER!); and the <a href="http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/2015/06/crazy-4-challenges-c4c290.html" target="_blank">Crazy 4 Challenges C4C290-</a>a masculine card.<br />

All of the papers for this card were already on my table as I had been cleaning out one of my paper holders. When I saw this sketch I knew just what I was going to do with them. Although it is hard to see the colors on these papers (I need a new camera-this one does not capture the colors very well), the patterns on the background papers are copper foils, from the DCWV Naturals stack. Bright, shiny copper foils, and no matter how I turned the camera I could no capture that pretty shine. 'Sigh'. The brown paper is Co'ordinations Foundations Coffee. The speckled papers are from an old Provo Craft pad. I cut the letters out with Lawn Fawn Finlay's Alphabet Capitols. This is a funny set, all the letters except the 'i' are capitols. The i is a dotted i, lower case-what's up with that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, I like the simplicity of this card, and I have a very hard time with simple cards-always want to add more-but this one is okay just as it is.</div>

Thus no cards for the last few weeks. Crazy busy with graduation, vacations, and following grandsons to Little League games. Fun, but sure tires this ole gal out!<br />
<br />
My first card today uses the sketch from<a href="http://fusioncardchallenge.blogspot.com/2015/06/fusion-blue-skies-smooth-sailing.html" target="_blank"> Fusion Card Challenge. </a> I flipped the sketch on it's side for this card. It also has the dark blue color of the shutter and the gold of the star from the sketch.<br />
This card is for a great-nephew of my husbands. I went on the school web sight to find the school colors, which simply said blue and gold. So my first attempt was just that! Then my daughter said no, the colors are navy blue and gold (not the yellow I had used.) So on to take 2, which I actually like better. <br />

So I went on eBay looking. The first couple listings had multiple bids and price was already over what original price was. Then there was the next listing-no bids yet, closing in 22 minutes. Decided to watch it. I GOT the whole set for $5 + shipping (which was $5.50, but hey- still cheaper that the others and cheaper that original by far). Meant to be mine, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway........This stamp is so appropriate for graduation cards. Such a positive statement. Hope you enjoy. Leave some love. I always appreciate what others think of my work.</div>

The image is Impression Obsession Boat & Lighthouse. This is my favorite of all the lighthouse image stamps I own. I return to it over and over again for masculine cards. It's stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black on Gina K Pure Luxury cardstock, and colored with Copic Markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I simply cut it out and rounded the corners with a corner punch. The background mat is a piece of 12x12 from my scraps-but no idea what brand. It's double sided with white core. I embossed the piece with Darice Beach Waves embossing folder and distressed with a sanding block to bring out the waves. The sentiment is cut with Impression Obsession Greetings dies and the anchor is a Memory Box die. I popped the image up with foam dimensionals.</div>

The image is a digi image from Bug-a-boo stamps called 'Tulips & Bugs'. I colored it with Copic markers and cut it out with Spellbinders hexagon dies. I cut a mat for it from green and then white cut with SB scalloped hexagons. I ran a purple marker around the edge of the scalloped layer to make it stand out. Polka-dot paper is from a 6x6 Recollections Bright & Basics pad. The flowered base layer is from an old DCWV 8x8 pad from a longgggggg time ago. Seems like this might have been one of the first papers I bought when I started this mad venture in papercrafting. Two purple solid matting cardstocks are from Bazzil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added some star dust and lavender stickles to the image. Stamped the sentiment (from Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags) with Momento Lux Tuxedo Black and embossed with black embossing powder. Colored a couple SU rhinestones with purple Copic and added for a little more sparkle. Cause, face it, you can never have too much sparkle!!</div>

I just went out in the kitchen to open the dishwasher so the dishes could air dry and there was a great BIG hanging basket on the counter, Multi-colored mini petunias (caleobrachea [sp.]) from my husband for Mother's Day. Too bad it is too cold out today(40) to hang it out for the poor hummingbirds. Hard to believe it was 84 day before yesterday!! We did need the rain, but it could be a bit warmer.</div>

I love this Robot image from Close to My Heart set 'Robot Family'. He is so cute! Makes a great kids birthday card. He is stamped on Gina K Pure Luxury White cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers. I cut him out with Spellbinders Deckled Long Rectangles, as is the mat. The gears are from Cheery Lynn and cut out of some funky paper my friend gave me-it's sort of thick and very textured. Make great gears. The background mat is embossed with Sizzix Tim Holtz Riveted Metal embossing folder. Words are from Tattered Lace 'Everyday Words' dies. I attached the gears with red brads (probably from Michael's). </div>

I know I want to make kids cards and masculine cards. Have been going through my papers and cutting some down to 6 x 6" or 6 x 12" to take with. I found these scraps found these 2 pieces of design paper and the green mat paper clipped together when I was sorting out some of the papers. Must have had an idea at one time to use them. The challenge over at<a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/2015/04/tall-and-skinny-birthday-topping.html" target="_blank"> Seize the Birthday</a> was for a tall and skinny card this week.

This is a 3 1/2" x 7" card. It's pretty simple, but so colorful, don't you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The papers are from American Crafts-Tea Party (this is an old pack, but the papers are so bright and colorful, perfect for kids cards). I stamped the balloons from Lil' Inker Designs 'Balloon Builders stamps in Momento Bahama Blue and Dandelion and SU Real Red and cut the out with the matching dies. The sentiment is cut from SU Real Red with a Sizzix die. </div>

This is made with the Memory Box 'Allstar' detail plate. This is so cool! I cut it once with Neenah classic white cardstock for the base. Matted that on some Linen texture navy card. Cut some of the stars out with Bazzil red card and used 3 of the stars popped up with foam dots. Cut the words (Cheery Lynn) with the same red cardstock and adhered with glue pen. Clean & Simple </div>

Even though there is still plenty of snow on the ground and the temp is not very nice today, it is spring. Sap has been flowing and family has made 10 gallons of Maple syrup so far. Yummmm! So good. Sap ran like crazy yesterday, so should get another 3-4 gallons of syrup with today's boiling. </div>

Another card with purples. What can I say-they were on my work table and they all went together. Guess you can say this is a scrap card, 'cause all but the daisy image came from scraps-even the card base.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><br />The bouquet of daisies is a digi image, but I have no idea where I got it. The 'vase' is a Jolies Mason Jars' sticker. (I wish I had bought more than one pack of these! They are so neat!) The pattern paper I know is K&Co., just not which pack. Colored with Copic markers. I cut it out with SB Long classic rectangles, matted with SB Deckled long rectangles. Butterfly is SU butterflies embosslit. I have no idea what the sentiment stamp is-this was already stamped in my reject basket. Punched it out with SU Word Window puch, mat puched with SU Modern Label punch. Finished off with 3 clear rhinestones.</span></div>

Hope spring is blossoming in your neck of the woods. My crocus bed is still buried and the ones on the south side of the house need to be replaced.

Where does the time go? Been awhile since I posted again. I have been making cards, just have not had time to post.<br />
<br />
For today's card I used the ODBD Lantern stamp, stamped with SU Pear Pizzaz ink, and colored in the lantern and leaves with Copic. All the papers are Stampin' Up Whisper White, Old Olive and Pear Pizzaz.<br />

Getting down to the end of the violet rub-ons. I have one more card to share after this, and 2 more rubons to use. They may have to wait. We'll see.....<br />

This is a bit of an unusual size for me (it's the size of regular 6" envelope), but I just couldn't cut up that background piece of cardstock. It was so pretty with the lattice embossing. Well, I guess the Darice embossing folder is called wire fence, but still, it looks like lattice. I took a little liberty with the sketch, but it really is just a bit longer, all the rest of the elements are there.<br />

I have been challenging myself to use up some of my stash. Right now I am focusing on ALL the rub-ons I have accumulated. And there are LOTS of them. These Lovely Violets are so pretty, and the quality of the rub-on is excellent. I've tried some that it's almost impossible to get them to stick completely.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even the papers used here are mostly from my scrap bin stash:)</div>

I stamped the Penny Black 'Lazy Days' image with Momento Tuxedo Black on Gina K Pure Luxury white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I used just the card sketch from the Fusion Card Challenge, which deadline I missed, of course. Anyway, I like the sketch, so that's okay:) He is cut out with Spellbinders Labels One and matted on SU Blackberry Bliss CS cut with SB scalloped labels one. I adhered him to the card base with dimensional foam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Other items used are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SU Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon cardstock; SU Moonlight design papers, SU Teeny Tiny Messages, SU flag punch, & SU Blackberry Bliss Ink.</div>
