June 25th Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge!

Our inspiration poem at The Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge is  

 I took my cue from "Christmas tree" in the most adorable little image from Gecko Galz! 


This little guy knows he is the cutest Christmas tree in the whole forest!   He is the June Christmas Challenge freebie!   I added some snowflake paper from Free Pretty Things for You and it was a freebie, too!  The senti was created in Photoshop and is, of course, the first line from the wonderful song!  So Christmas tree inspiration all around!  Grab your goodies and come play with us at The Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge!
This is also my make for the Gecko Galz Monthly Christmas Challenge!  Thanks so much to them for this super awesome image!

Monday Greetings for June with Star Stampz

It's time for some fairy tale wishes with an optional twist to add some sparkle at The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge!  A huge thanks to our sponsor Star Stampz Etsy!  I love working with this awesome artist and she is so kind to our team each time!   I had some swim time with the Little Mermaid Chibi image!

My journal has been neglected for so long I decided to make it the little mermaid and her fishy friends' home.  I colored the image up with Copics and colored pencils adding bits of white gel pen to sparkle them up!  I added mirror cardstock to the journal page, then a digital paper from the Blue Lagoon Digital Paper Pack by LeighSBDesigns.   The senti was made in Photoshop and added to a bit of green glitter paper for some more sparkle!   So let's all get crafting for June coz you know we will need a bit of inside cool time!  See you at The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge for June!

Creative Inspiration Challenges for June with Lawn Fawn!

Creative Inspiration Challenges # 3 is ready to play for June with the absolutely awesome Lawn Fawn as our sponsor!  Let's go visit their store and leave some love!💖  I had so much fun creating with the stamp set "Simply Celebrate!"

These stamps are an absolute joy to work with!  So crisp and clean when stamping and if you see any of my uh oh's it is totally my fault!  And those adorable two little faces stamps that I added to the balloons will be used soooo many times I assure you!  I used the star stamps and made a background frame inking it with carved pumpkin Distress Ink.  The center panel I stamped with the sentiment, balloons and chicks then coloring with Copics.  I stamped the flowers, colored and fussy cut the top edge before popping it on foam dots right below the chicks.   This stamp set will be used over and over again because the components are all fabulous!  Now it's your turn to create and show us what is happening in your world for June!  Come play with us at Creative Inspiration Challenges #3!
