Irish Dreams

 The challenge was to use colors of your country or a country you would like to see.  I have always dreamed of being able to visit Ireland so I choose to use the colors of their flag! Here's wishing all your dreams come true.

Lil Emmy Liberty Card

Here I have used my lil Emmy Liberty digi on a card celebrating my Country for the
Outlawz Greetings Party Challenge and the 2 sisters challenge

I used a mountain background paper I cut out a white scallop and then a smaller stars and stripes scallop using nestabilities.  The music notes were from a stampin up wheel one in real red and one in pacific point which I adhered together.  I printed out the O Beautiful and then placed it on a red banner I hand cut.  Liberty was colored with stampin up markers wild wasabi and certainly celery for the greens.  I popped her up on foam tape and added a little star bling and called her done.
My wish for you today is for peace in your daily life!

Here is my entry for the Creative Freebie Challenge at Outlawz  .  Isn't she the cutest ever!  Every 2 weeks you get 2 new free digis and as long as you submit at least 1 project using one or the other you get the next free set.  What an awesome fun challenge!  My wish for you is to laugh as much as you breath and to love as long as you live!
This great freebie was from Sassy Studio Just the girl 4th of July Honey.  The hot air balloon in the background was a different digi.  I paper pieced the top of the balloon then colored everything else with stampin up markers.  The cloud background is handmade with white card stock and bashful blue ink.  I used some scalloped punches for the cloud masks.  Hope you like her.  Here's wishing you sunshine!
I will be entering her in a few challenges starting with
penny's paper challenge

Raspberry Ripple!

I am very happy with the way my card turned out.  I am entering her in 3 different challenges this week.
 Some odd girls sketch challenge and Tiny Tia here is from SOG,
 The Outlawz
Papertake weekly anything goes challenge.

I hope it resembles the sketch a little, to me summer is colorful bright sunny days cool blue waters and for my little girl lots of bling! whether it is glittered flip flops and head bands or sparkly rainbow swim suits it all about happy colors and fun.

I did do a square card which is out of the norm for me just a plain white card base.  The background paper is from creative imaginations swirls of yellow-orange, raspberry and blues filled the 12x12 sheet. Next a line of sticky strip to add some cool white lace across the blue bottom.  A scrap or raspberry ribbon tied across the top gave it the color I wanted and hid the finger gathered lace top.  The pink strip along the side is a scrap from a Heidi Grace paper and although you can't tell in the photo it has a shimmer to it.  The yellow behind that is another scrap bin piece that has a slight embossed leaf and flower image on it.  Tia the crowning glory of the card is done in colored pencil.  The white oval was embossed with square lattice from stampin up. The pink oval was embossed using a Darcie folder then I used rose red ink across the raised image for a little more color.  All the ovals including the lime were cut with nestabilities dies.  I chose Cherish as my sentiment because that is what I Wish
for all to do with their summer memories.  And of course had to add a little bling!
