Babycakesdnd: June Release 2

Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need. ~Margaret Mead

Good afternoon!

I am a bit late getting this posted but Sandra has another round of awesomely fun images added to her ETSY SHOP!

This week I am using #3199 Stressed Hippo. Love this image! Personally I think he looks like he is getting down to some good tunes but I think he’s also perfect for that card for someone who is going through a tough time. Whatever you chose to use him for will for sure bring a smile!

The Outlawz Crash your Stash Challenge: Paper Piercing tools

Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance.  It is also owed to justice and to humanity.  Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.  ~James Bryce

Good morning!

We have a new Crash your Stash Challenge starting at The Outlawz Challenges! Our Sponsor this month is KLM Designs Emporium and she has some great images so be sure to check out her shop!

Our cue this month is paper piercing tools.

I have several plastic and brass piercing templates that I rediscovered whilst purging out my craft room but rarely use them. After doing this card I can honestly say that I now remember why. While I love the results, my hand is so cramped up from holding onto the templates, then lining up the pokey tool and punching! I’m such a wimp!

For my project I used the Sponsor image “4th Of July Gnome. Isn't he fun! and patriotic! LOL.

The base is 6 x 6 and once I can get back to the craft store, I will be picking up a frame for it since I want to use it for home décor on my mantle.

Supplies:

• Image printed on Stampin Up! Whisper White card stock
• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
• Piercing stencil from Stampin Up! and Nnknown
• ProMarkers (Alcohol Markers)
• Star jewels from The Paper Studio
• Silver Rounds from Fun Stampers Journey
• Card sketch by Me CCBC9

Now come on over to The Outlawz Challenges to play along with us or one of the other challenges that are always in process!

Babycakesdnd: June Release 1

The first fact about the celebration of birthdays is that it is a good way of affirming defiantly, and even flamboyantly, that it is a good thing to be alive. ~G.K. Chesterton, "Our Birthday," 1935

Good afternoon!

Sandra has some more new adorable images to her ETSY SHOP this week and I am here to share one of them with you!
