Tooting my horn!

I just had to toot my horn a bit...lol. I got notice today that a card I submitted to Scrapbook News and Reviews will be in the July issue. Now whats kinda funny, I did this on a whim. I know nothing about submitting, or this online magazine. It was the BBQ card, the one that I used the stamp set King of the Grill from Gina K Designs and 2 stamps from Stampabilities. I have to sign a contract and send back, which they give me 2 months subscription free for compensation...I'll let everyone know how good a magazine it is after that, lol. Anyways, made my DAY!! and will have a card a bit later...been so busy cleaning after grandbaby and daughter left...

Party crabs!

I made this for the June release challenge that was posted in the Gina K forum at SCS Friday night. With summer here, all I could think about is sand and water...and came up with this. I wish I had of put a drink in the crabs hand...might go back and do that....wonder if I can draw a beer bottle, would be perfect for someone I know, lol.

Card Details:
Stamps: Just Be-Claws by Gina K Designs
Papers: craps where stamped on white cardstock by GP, DP is from Basic Grey
Accessories: Colored with copic markers, yellow twine, pop dots

Thanks for taking the time to look! Have a beautiful day!

THE best of summertime....

Well, I've been a bit occupied the last couple of days... and this is the reason why! My daughter and grandbaby have been here and with Blake here, there is NO card making time, lol. But thats ok, always will be later!

So, Blake does not care for swimming pools, I know, strange child, takes after his Grammy for sure, lol. But what I did was go buy him this little sprinkler thingy, and oh the fun began! That is until it was time to get out! (second picture is of him having a fit when that time came, lol)

Just thought I'd share! Cards coming later!

A sketch challeng again.

I love doing sketch challenges, so did this one for Laura's at 2 Sketches 4 You. My take an it anyways, lol. Manly birthday card, for my brother coming up in July. I used the typewriter from the set of Rupa's called Many Happy Returns at Gina K Designs. Love this set, very retro looking to me. I also scratched on the screw brads (also from Gina K Designs) to make them look old too, after coloring them with a black sharpie.

Card Details:
Stamps: Many Happy Returns from Gina K Designs
Papers: white cardstock by GP, black from M's, red cardstock is SU!
Accessories: copic markers, black embossing powder, dymo label maker, CB embossing folder, happy birthday one, screw brads, paper piercing tool, pop dots
