The Love From Lizi July card kit is so full of summery goodness. You may have already seen how I combined the tassels that came in the kit with some of the stamps and a touch of ink blending.

I’m doing double-duty with this card. I think this is the first time I’ve ever done so, but the card was perfect for both of the challenge posts I needed to design for today, so I figured I’d do them together! It’s the start of our July challenge at Christmas At Sweet Stampin’ where we … More DIY Action Wobbler | Christmas In July | TMR #115/CASS | Video
The new The Male Room challenge starts today, and our prompt is to use something unexpected.

The layout is of course from My Favorite Things. The summer theme comes from both Mod Squad and 4 Crafty Chicks. Addicted to CAS asked for … More Summer Sunset
Today’s card is another one that almost didn’t exist. In the end though I refused to let creative block beat me and decided to just start and see where I would end up. The layout for the card is Mojo Monday‘s latest. Daring Cardmakers provided an elemental inspiration with lots of beach and summer themes – … More Summer Holidays
At last, the third and final card of the day. (But who’s counting, right…?) Four challenges went into the creation of this card. The layout comes from The Paper Players.
