Sunday Song and Rhyme July 21st

 Our poem this time is Summer's Splendor by the Sea by Patricia L. Cisco.   I chose to be inspired by the line "Hushing rhythm of the waves."

I used the freebie image sheet "Seashell Ladies ATC" from the Gecko Galz for their ATC Challenge for July!  This is a quick digital version I whipped up in Procreate for our challenge this month.  I love the colors of this lovely sea scene with the wonderful seashell lady smiling!  I had to type out the sentiment but the set includes some wonderful ocean senties!  Hope to see you at the Outlawz Sunday Song and Rhyme Challenge!

Creative Inspiration Challenges with All Dressed Up!

It’s July and time for a new Creative Inspiration Challenges hosted by All Dressed Up Stamps!  A big thank you to them for their continued support of our challenges!   Check out their shop here!

I got creative with the super adorable image Hedgehog Flower!  I am always drawn to hedgehogs because my son has always loved them and they are just so very cute!   This little fellow is awash with a glorious flower display!   I used markers to color her up and cut into a circle and inked the edges.  I had some leftover Cricut cuts from LeighSBDesigns so I grabbed them to make a little hanging card!  Inked all the edges, stamped the back circle with Distress Oxides and some foam flower stamps and painted the fluer de lis with green glitter paint before adding.  Some happy birthday cardstock seemed to fit this little one just right!   Gather up your craft goodies and come play with us at Creative Inspiration Challenges in July!  The theme is always Anything Goes! 😸

Monday Greetings with Kate Hadfield!

A huge thank you to Kate Hadfield Designs for sponsoring our Monday Greetings Challenge at the Outlawz for July!  Kate has so many fun and exciting designs and her blog is full of inspiration and freebies that make creating an awesome experience!

We had a play with the Al Fresco Stamps and this set is definitely full of summer fabulousness!

I grab a free scrapbooking digital layout on Kate’s blog first.  Next I printed out the elements I wanted to use, colored with markers and fussy cut.  I cut out the layout shapes from cardstock.   I used a pretty dragonfly paper for my base page and added all the pieces attaching with glue.  I added the sentiment and had a marvelous page!  I discovered how easy and effective these layouts are for digital scrapbooking which I love to do but they also are fun to work with on a physical projects, too!  I hope everyone will join in our summer fun at the Outlawz Monday Greetings for July!  The required greeting is Summer Fun and the twist is Anything Goes!

The Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme

 Our inspiration this time comes from the following poem:

My project was inspired by the line “An opal-hearted country”.   I love opals and wanted use an image from Pixabay by ArtsyBee with a gorgeous opal!  To keep the jewel them I used an image by chenspec from Pixabay as my background layer.  My sentiment is from Mirtillamente from the set About Love #1 and I find this set so useful!  I used glossy photo paper for the opal and jewel layers and sentiment to get the lovely colors I wanted.

Please remember to tell us what inspired you from the poem so that you will be eligible to win!   See you at The Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge!
