Challenge # 289

Anything Goes

 

YAY....I got to use a Bugaboo image this week. I just love the Bugaboo digis :) Seems how it's summer - I thought I would go with summer image. When I saw this cute lil pup in an inner tube, I just had to have him!

 

 

Image: Pup Summer

Paper: Fancy Pants Making Waves

Color Medium: Copics

Other Supplies: Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Layers die, Glossy Accents, Stamps of Life Flamingo2stamp (sentiment), Lawn Fawn A Birdie Told Me stamp & die (bubble), Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink Gold, atyou Spica pen 20 Chocolate, Webster's Pages Enamel Stars

 

I used the Glossy Accents on his glasses as well as the inner tube. I wanted to give the inner tube that "glossy" plastic like look to it. I thought this sentiment from The Stamps of Life was a perfect match for this image!

August Blog Hop @ FTHS

Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop.

We have a “Use Your Stash” Theme this month.

We have lots of gorgeous projects.

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. And one lucky commentator on the FTHS blog has the chance to win a $ 15 voucher.

If you have arrived from Lyn, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

Here is my project, and from my stash I used sequins.
I have been "hoarding' this stuff for awhile. Had great intentions of using but always forget about the "stash" I have.

Paper: Fancy Pants Making Waves

Color Medium: Copics

Other Supplies: Smooch Glitz in Frost, Glossy Accents, atyou Spica pen in 06 Melon, Sequins

 

I also used our newest i {heart} sketch # 160,

along with the twist.

 

 

And here is a pic of the container my sequin stash is in.

I LOVE this container. As you can see it holds 24 smaller containers inside one bigger container. I found this at our local Menards store.

 Very handy and was reasonably priced!

 

Well I hope you liked my card!

 

Now it's time to head over to Ruth and see what she has created.

 The hop will end on Sunday Aug 7th at 6 am EST.

Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday Aug 10th.


Thanks for hopping with us today.

Challenge # 288

Anything Goes

This week I got to use this adorable summer image from Lacy Sunshine.
With all this very hot & humid weather we have been having lately - the beach would be the perfect place to be! It's hard to tell, but behind the image, the blue paper had waves on it and I finished the top off with a wave border die cut. Hope you like it :)
