Dueling Darlings-Flip Flops & Sunshine

It is the 15^thof the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostesses for June are Carol for the Divas and Melina for the Dazzlers.

I loved all of the papers and embellishments that Carol sent--I wanted to use all of it!  She gave us so many options and she even gave us two images to chose to use.  She called this one the older one............  not sure what exactly she meant by that.  And---I am sure that when Jeanette comes back from Thailand, she will make a comment on that!

I think Ethel is so darn funny and I love the look on her face!  Carol sent us some sweet papers to use and some wonderful items to bling up the card.  The paper clip on the sentiment was handmade by Carol and we had a couple of choices of colors--what a cute idea!

Here is the inside of my card.

Unidentified Image Swap

This is the card for the 8^th round an Unidentified Image swap on SCS.  It is a group of ladies who are a part of a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The unidentified part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--today!   The images for this round were provided Paola.  She will swap the cards and include the next image that April, our next hostess, provides in our return envie.  And then we get to do it all again!!!!

The image the Paola sent is too darn cute.  This is one Whipper Snapper image that I do not have--hard to believe.............................  It will be a blast to see all of the other cards that are created.  If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations too!

The Crafty Gals Honor Lela

 

It is the 5th of the month, so I am back with another challenge of the Crafty Gals! We are a group of bloggers who have monthly challenges, caring comments & fun chit chat on SCS—our favorite stamping site to visit.

This year our challenges are going to be a bit different. Each month, Melina will chose one of our group to highlight and our challenge is to CASE a card from her blog—or make a card that highlights some of her loves. This month the person to CASE is Lela!  Here is a link to her blog.

This is what Melina posted about Lela:  We are showing some Summer love to Lela this month! Lela is our GAL for June! Lela loves bright colors. I do believe orange might be one of her favorite colors to create with. She also likes using bird and butterflies in her creations. She does beautiful things with banners and embossing folders too! Look through her great blog, find something you love and get busy! We want to show Lela how much we love her!

This is the inside of my card:

 

I hope Lela likes my card and that she feels it reflects who she is.  And-I hope the rest of the Crafty Gals like it too!

My Favorite Stamp Set!

Today is the last day of the month and I am here to welcome you to my Crafters of Faith card! The Crafters of Faith blogging group is a joyous blending of Christian friends ~ joined together to fellowship, share our faith, build friendships and craft together!  

This is our May challenge--posted by Jackie:

"For God so loved the world; that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

This is my most favorite verse in the Bible. It speaks to me about love...a great love that will never end. How awesome!!! For the month of May; I would like you ladies to create something out of love. Interpret this anyway you want...it can be a fave stamp set; some of your fave embellishments, maybe even a project for a loved one. There's so many possibilities & I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Have fun & Happy Stamping

So--I went with my favorite stamp set ever!  That is Lovely as a Tree by Stampin' Up. I have used it for so many cards and so many seasons--but I really like to emboss the image.  I really like the card when it sparkles, like this one.

Summer Biking

I have two posts today.  If you are looking for my {PIN}Spirational card, please scroll up................. (or check back in a bit if you are checking in very early today).  Thanks!

It is the 28th of the month, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers.  April is our hostess this month and this is what she wrote for us to follow:  
 
My theme is easy I would like you each to make a card representing one thing you hope to accomplish over the summer. It could be a garden, a vacation, a weight loss, whatever, BUT you do have to tell us what you are hoping to accomplish!

I think this Riley stamps is so cute--and wanted to ink him up again.  I used two different widths of khaki ribbon for a different touch.  I also wanted to add some of the bicycle patterned paper to the inside of my card.

So--I have many things I want to accomplish every summer and this one sure is no different!  I love to play in the garden and we do plan to take a bike trip with camping again in September as we did last year with two other friends--I think that still might be considered summer.  But--one thing I know I will do more of this summer is biking in general as we just got a new tandem two weeks and I love it already!  It is such a smooth ride and it does go fast!  So--if you are in SE Wisconsin and see a couple of ladies riding a red tandem bike, give us a shout!
