Tissue Flower~

Good morning everyone~
As you are all reading this, I'm sure I'm in bed. Last night I went with some friends to the midnight showing of Eclipse. I was super excited because it is the first time that I've been able to see all three on the big screen. They had a package deal for all three movies!
The last couple of showings I missed due to not having anyone to go with. Yes, I know I could always go by myself. But that is not fun, lol! Well this time, I had another parent from school that has become a friend, and she loves Twlight, too. So of course, we decided to go together.
While I should be showing off something Twlight, and I haven't had time to use my digital stamp. Hopefully later today!
But for now, here is what I came up with:
Challenges used:
Pink Elephant: pink and black
Paper sundaes: birthdays
and
Magical Crafts: flower power



Supplies~
Stamps: saying: birthday wishes (papertrey)
Cardstock/Ink: designer paper, black, white, and hot pink
Extra: design brads, oval punch, tissue flower, ribbon

Christmas Night~

Monday is here, and it is also the first day of camp for the boys. This year is the first time we decided to do summer camps. Which I'm really happy about because the boys started asking about going back to school since graduation. The camp is more of an art class, and is only for a couple of hours a day. So hopefully they will have fun. Plus this will allow me to get some things done around here, without having to always stop in the middle of it.
Now for my card today, I'm sharing an image by Sassy Studio, who is the sponsor this week over at The Crazy Challenge. They have some great images, and this one has to be one of my favorites! Way too cute!!!

Challenges used:
Crazy Challenge: make it in a hour (coloring takes me forever)
Just Add Ink: add patterned paper
and
Digital Tuesday: Christmas in June (getting excited for Christmas!!!)

Supplies~
Stamps: boy in chair (Sassy Studio) and joy (Papertrey)
Cardstock/Ink: red, designer paper, green, and copics
Extra: ticket, ribbon, eyelets, gold gel pen, and white gel pen

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Which ends on the 26th, so be sure to hurry up and add your creation. Even if I don't get picked (fingers crossed), I know I will be checking them out all of the time!!! Here are some challenges I used on my card:

Hopefully the sun will come out just a little today, so that I can grab those bright color papers and fun summer stamps I have waiting in the closet.
Onto my spooky little mouse:
This card is for my dt spot over at the crazy challenge. The sponsor is Digi Doodle Shop, and I have to say every time I use them I fall more in love with them. Be sure to check out both their shop and the Crazy Challenge. The other girls have some amazing work that is sure to inspire you!
