SCS DTGD 2017 - LMcAree

Image - pre colored digi by Beccy's Place; misc papers; Martha Stewart border punch.  The doo-dads in the lower part of the image are an accident  I think worked out ok.  I was trying to use a punch with a bit of a scroll and tiny flowers.  It jammed and cut parts each time I tried.  So I just used the bits and pieces to fill in an area indicated by the sketch.  I hope that eventually I will get the punch to work!
This is one more entry in the Fan Club annual challenge at SplitCoastStampers - membership required to participate.

Young at Heart

Today one of my customers told me her 70 year old mother has often said she would like just one minute on  a skate board or roller blades - and her 5 year old granddaughter told her "Grandma, the result would not be good"!!!!  LOL!!!  After hearing that I had to use this Art Impression pop up!  (The pop ups are pre colored images ready to punch out and use.)  I added the Cuttlebug birthday embossing, LifeStyle crafts road like embossing, and the Cuttlebug Faux stitches border embossing folder.  I cut the Cheery Lynn bird from a bit of left over glitter cs.

Lazy summer day

This is yet another of the pre-stamped images from the Art Impressions pop-up collections - all ready to punch out and adhere to my card.  The sentiment is SU - Circle of Friendship.  The bg is by SugarTree - the design can be used for water or sky, and I embossed with D'vine Swirls (Cuttlebug).  Finishing touches are sheer ribbon and a couple of sparkly gems as well as a sequin on the umbrella.

Masculine / RV

We anticipate that, after 50+ years of rving, this will be our last summer.  That means that it is time to use up some of the rv items I have been hoarding!  This image and DP came from friends at WishRAK on SplitcoastStampers. The brad is SU.  A creative opportunity arose when it came to the metallic strip.  You may have heard me mention that I pared down the supplies I brought along this summer.  Apparently my stash of metallic papers and scraps did not make the cut!  I had to open a new can of International Coffee so I could use the metallic seal.  Since it is so thin, I should have used an extra shim to do the die cut - so I decided to use it as an embossed piece rather than struggle to get the pieces out of the Cuttlebug die!

Having fun

This is a fun image - they do look like they are having fun in the sun.  The sentiment is from Verve.  As I often do, I used the snowflake EF to look like sunbursts - that works in bright yellow!  I added a die cut from the Cuttlebug Olivia set.

Birdhouses

I have not used a lot of yellow in the past - but a glance at recent blog entries will show that has changed - here is another color combo that I like a lot!  I also like that Blessings die from Cheery Lynn, as well ss the fence die - I have forgotten the origin.

Are you having fun?

I used some fairly old DP and an image that has been sitting in my "colored and ready to use" box for a long time!  I added some twine and striped sticker paper for a border.

CAS Summer on the beach

Clean and Simple is not easy for me, but I think this vintage look image from my Wish RAK stash - origin unknown - works well.  She is colored with Prismas - including subtle coloring of the beach, water and sky.  The mat is a blue grey cs.

Sunny summer holiday

I have spent a lot of my stamping time this summer filling orders from friends/customers.  In fact, this is for an order that I have had to set aside, and it is time to get to work.  A friend, close to 90, still travels from place to place according to the season -though no longer in her RV.  She does spend several months each year at an RV resort near Kino Bay, Mexico - with her boy friend!  I have some humorous "inside" verses she likes, and she requested that I make several cards for her girl friends - I think this is a perfect image - they will have a giggle from it.  The image is in my stash of items from friends at Wish RAK (SCS) so I do not know the name.  I used Prismas in colors to match the DCWV Summer DP, and the backing is a deep burgundy.  There is glitter on the hats and glasses (as well as on me), and a sparkly center for each flower.  I used my Cuttlebug to cut the rectangle scalloped die,  My computer has been cropping (on its own) the top - there is also a half sun tucked in the corner - it is from the CB Olivia die set.

Lazy Summer

Here is another cute (free) digi from sliekjestamps.  I used:  CB HB folder, some misc plaid DP, paper tape, sheer ribbon, Prismas, a shell charm, distressed edges.  I made tiny whimsical plaid clouds from a Cheery Lynn die that I purchased not long ago from Joan's Gardens.

Summer fun on the beach

This Cool Cat is a Hambo digi.  I colored with Prismas, and used Ranger Enamel Accents (white) for the cat - I think you can see a hint of the texture.  I added a scrap of DCWV summer DP, some twine, and a die cut sun (from the CB Olivia alpha set.)  In case you are wondering, I am not sure what that pink liquid could be...

Sunny day bar-b-q

I seem to need a lot of masculine cards.  I used some b&w dp sent by a cyber friend at WishRAK, backed by yellow cs from my stash.  The Fella image (stamping Bella), yellow tag and sunny die (CB Olivia set) have been in my stash for more than a couple of years.  The punch is Martha Steward trellis.  I colored the image with chalk pencils, and added a strip of black ribbon.  (The image and tag are also from WishRAK)
