My Inspirational Piece

My inspirational piece for my final challenge before taking a break uses a cute image from Little Blue Button Stamps who is my sponsor this time.    The card base is black with a flowery designer paper cut into strips.  The image is on a black base and so is the sentiment.  Both are on dimensionals so they pop off the front.  The image is colored with Copic markers.

Final Week of Challenges

The best-laid plans sometimes don't work.  I had company come in when I  usually write my post so this is late and I don't have my card created yet.  I will post my sample mid-week.
Don't forget the challenge theme.  It is "Remembering Summer".  This is my last challenge for a while.

This is a similar card to the one I made for week 1 of this challenge, once again using the lovely Miss Lily on the beach image kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with chameleon pens. Papers and card used to create the background were  from various bits and pieces that have built up over the years, tearing to give the idea of the sea and beach with a torn piece of DCWV summer paper text across the middle and a piece of DCWV flip flops grosgrain ribbon with a few other bits and pieces. I made the bucket and spade look shiny by covering with glossy accents, although that doesn't show here.

Remember the movie "A League of their Own"? About the women's baseball leagues?  This freebie digital stamp from Little Blue Button reminded me of that movie.  Baseball is one of the joys and memories of summer for some. For this card I used background digital paper by Gecko Galz and colored the Little Blue Button digital stamp with colored pencils.  I created the sentiment in photoshop and added a flower, enamel dot and dragonfly sticker.  There is one last week to link up!  But there are still three weeks of summer left...  Enjoy them.

For the second week of Remembering Summer I chose miss Lily at the beach, I fussy cut most of the image and cut the remainder with an oval classic die, the background was a piece of watercoloured paper left from another project, I think it's perfect.  Patterned paper is from the dollar stop in Simcoe as are the glittery buttons.

 

Karla

For the second week of Remembering Summer, I used a lovely image from freebie section of Little Blue Button. It was digitally colored and bordered. Then I just added some flowers. Hope you keep playing along with us!Have an inspiring week!

 

 

A special thank you goes to Little Blue Button Stamps for sponsoring this challenge and to all the great people who  have sponsored the 119 challenges I have had.  I could not have done it without their help.

 

Challenge #119-"Remembering Summer"

It has been a great summer in Tennessee this year.  It has been warm, but not too hot.  We have had rain, but not too much and there is a hint of Fall.  How you remember this summer is the theme of my challenge this time.

Vicki

I made a card reminding me of the seashell we found this summer.  I decided to go with summer stripes.  The Little Blue Button image is colored with Copics.

Hazel

For my card I've used the Miss Lily on the beach image kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with chameleon pens. All papers and card used are from my offcuts box. I added the little rubber flip flops that have been in my stash for ages.

Michele

Much though I love autumn I never really am quite ready to let summer go.  For my first DT creation "remembering summer" I've used a sweet image from Little Blue Button called "Sophie with Flower."  I colored her with colored pencils and used background designer paper by Gecko Galz.  I did use both summer and autumn colors in recognition of the changing seasons.  I kept this creation simple, embellishing with just a flower and an enamel dot.  I look forward to seeing what you make!

Barbara

Challenge #119 at the Cheerful Stamp Pad is Remembering summer, well it's not over yet as next week we are going to have a beautiful week it's cooler in the evening and much better for sleeping. Little Blue Button stamps is the sponsor for this challenge. I picked up this lovely image as a freebie on their blog. A friend was the sketch designer at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I wanted to use it which was  interesting as I flipped the sketch and used a circle. The sentiment I used is a Hero Arts seasons set, this is the Summer one.

Karla

For the first week of "Remembering Summer", I made a card using an image called Miss Lilly on the beach which was kindly supplied by our sponsor Little Blue Button. I colored and framed it digitally and then I added ribbons, buttons and a sentiment. Hope you keep playing along with us. Have an magical weekend!

 

 

Thanks to Little Blue Button Stamps for the sponsorship of  my final challenge.

For the second week of our challenge 118 I used the same digital image as last week - the lovely 'Sophie with flower' image supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button  - coloured with chameleon pens and die cut using an X cut parenthesis rectangular die, using a larger one for the mat  using an offcut of Hot off the Press paper. Corrugated strip and spotted ribbon from stash and the lovely organza flower with pearls in the centre. The background paper is some that I've had for a long time -

Barbara

I found this free Blue Button image and the first thing I thought was best friends birthday and I made it in my two favourite colours. the frame is from Impression Obsessions, I used the tulip border embossing folder to frame the image. If you check my blog you will see what I did on the inside with one of the parts of this frame. The sponsor for the challenge is Blue Button stamps and the image I used is Forever Friends the July freebie from Little Blue Button stamps.

Michele

I grabbed this Little Blue Button digital stamp from the freebie section of their website.  This creation is entirely digitally created in Adobe Photoshop.  I bordered the digital image, placed it on digital designer paper by Gecko Galz then colored it, and added the sentiment all in Photoshop.  I think this one came out very sweetly.  One last week to link up!

"Anything Goes" is in its Second Week

My challenge, "Anything Goes", is in its second week and I have really  had some great entries and would love to see more.  However, make sure you enter no more than twice.

Vicki

I love this sweet image from Little Blue Button stamps.  I colored her with Copics and added some garden inspired embellishments to my card.

Karla

For week 2 of Anything goes, I made a card using an image called Sophie and the flower and it was kindly supplied by our sponsor Little Blue Button. I coloured Sophie digitally and added butterflies, flowers and crystals. Have a magical weekend

Hazel

For the second week of our Challenge 117 I printed out the lovely Little Blue Button 'Miss Lilly big cupcake' image kindly supplied by the sponsor. I coloured with spectrum noir and used some glossy accents to make the cherry shine and some ice stickles glitter glue around the icing swirls. The pink floral paper is an offcut that I've had for ages, spotted ribbon from Hobbycraft and the Keep Calm saying was made using keepcalm-o-matic.

Michele

"Anything goes" challenges are a great opportunity to link up whatever you may be working on for the chance to win a prize from our challenge sponsor Little Blue Button.  For my week two inspiration I chose this cute image from LBB because I love the beach.  I printed and colored the digital image with colored pencils and then laid it out on two different background papers from Gecko Galz.  I added die cuts and stickers to complete the piece.  I look forward to seeing your art!

Barbara

Another week has gone by and it's already August, the humidity has abated so it is much more comfortable at the cottage. For the second week of the Anything Goes challenge I use this cute cupcake girl from Little Blue Button stamps. I made the card 5 1/4 inches square and used my sewing machine to attach the patterned paper and of course it is in my favourite colour.....Purple.

Challelnge #117- "Anything Goes"

I'm sorry this post is a little late.  As of now I am planning to have only three more challenges.  Then the Design Team and I will take a break.  Let's start this weekend with a "Anything Goes" challenge.

Vicki

I made a little birthday card with the Miss Lilly Big Cupcake from Little Blue Button Stamps.  She is so cute.  Copic markers were used to color her and the background is a piece of birthday designer paper.

Michele

I was drawn to this dear digital image graciously provided by our challenge sponsor Little Blue Button.  Dream time is critical and important time and this little darling is dreaming over her cup of tea.  I used some delightful background designer paper from Twisted Papers to cover my cardstock.  I colored the digital image with pencils and fussy cut it to adhere to the background.  The polka dot washi tape created a nice contrast I thought and I also added the "dream" and butterfly stickers to finish the piece.  As the challenge theme is so open I do hope you will join us!

Barbara

For the first week of the challenge i picked this adorable image with a hot coffee/tea, I think it would make a fabulous "friend" card. I also used a different fold, more pictures on my blog.  The sponsor for the challenge is Little Blue Button Stamps, have a peek at the store they have some really sweet images.

Hazel

For my card I used the lovely 'dream Charlie' image kindly supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button Stamps. I coloured this with spectrum noir pens and tore the oval around a perspex template, using a larger one for the surrounding oval torn from an offcut of spotted paper. The main background paper is an offcut piece of DCWV, with the addition of the chipboard sentiment and flowers from Hobbycraft.

Karla

For week 1 of Anything Goes sponsored by Little Blue Button Stamps, I made a card using a lovely image called DREAM which I colored digitally. Then I layered it on two scrapbook papers and added a fabric flower and some crystals. My card was created for a little girl. Hope she likes it. Keep playing along with us and have a magical weekend
