Happy Birthday America!

A very happy Wednesday to you all!  Hope you week is going well so far.  My week has been good and will get better on July 4th at 2pm as I start vacation for 8 days!  We will be having some friends over and enjoy some pool time relaxation and some good food, then we will go up to Verrado to watch the fireworks.  They are so pretty there and we get to see lots of them across the whole valley.  I sure hope you have some good times planned for the upcoming holiday weekend.

It is challenge time again at Creative Moments and this time our theme this challenge is "Celebrations" and what a perfect time as we are celebrating the 4th of July.  Our sponsor is "Sassy Studio" and when I saw this little cutie I knew this what I wanted to do!  Her name is "Captain Americana" now who does not like the super hero's :)

There is a great sale going on the rest of this week until – Monday July 7th…EVERYTHING @ PaperTemptress.com is going to be 30% off…unless it is already discounted more than 30% such as the ALL the Hambly products and ALL the ribbon which are both already 60% off….Wow…the biggest sale EVER!  Enjoy!

I used a sketch from Sketch and Stash #6, it worked perfectly for this image, which is colored on Cryogen white and you can get it from the Paper Temptress.  My DP's are from Doodle Bug Patriotic Parade I just love their papers.  The border is a MS punch and the sentiment is one I grabbed from Pinterest.

 



My image is colored with copics and I did not list the sorry.  I have added a little stickles to the white areas to add a little spark to the card.

I hope you will join us in our current challenge we would love to see all of your beautiful creations!

My card I am sharing with you today is a special one as it is for my dear daughter in law!  She will be the big 40 on the 13th of this month....shhh I am so glad she does not look at my blog hehehe!

 

The focal image is printed and colored on the Cryogen white, I love this paper as it blends easily and does not smear the printer ink when colored over.  You can get Cryogen white from the Paper Temptress.

Let's Ride

Happy Thursday everyone ! This week is going pretty fast for me lots going on, had my oldest DGD basketball game last night they lost but they played their hearts out and had fun that is all that matters. This weekend is jam packed for me going to Wet'n Wild on Sat suppose to be 108 so that will be great and then to finish off this glorious weekend my youngest DGD will have her 5th birthday party so lots of fun here.....sure hope you have some fun things going on....summer is just a time for lots of family fun :)

Speaking of fun there is a party going on at Magnolia-licious as they celebrate turning 2 years of fun ! Drop on by and join in. This week is a great sketch from Chris one of the mods on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group. I have to say that the ladies that run this group to an outstanding job to keep everything going smooth and fun. My sincere thanks to each and everyone of you for all you do each day for our group.

I have colored my image with copics sorry I forgot to keep track of them. I added "Sweet Pea" flower soft to Tilda's bouquet. I used fun flock for the bike handle grips and added liquid embossing to the bike to give the metal shine and look.
The DP is Doodle Bug designs and it is machine stitched to DCWV card stock. I paper pieced her little T-shirt to match the DP on the card. I used my wishblade to cut out my oval frame. I embossed the oval background with the cuttlebug. Ribbon is from my stash and I used the bow easy to make my bow. I added my sentiment in the charm that is attached which says "Made with love". Here is a close up of Tilda

I have raised Tilda on pop up dots for dimension and to make it look as if she is coming out of the frame.

That's it for me today, I gotta go fix DGD breakfast and then we are having a girl day with movies and shopping !
Thanks for coming by.
Hugs,
