Creative Inspiration Challenges with Sheepski Designs!
Hi, all you crafty people! June is popping off and as always our theme at Creative Inspiration Challenges is Anything Goes! Our wonderful sponsor is Sheepski Designs and a big thank you to them! I have a calendar using this gorgeous fuchsia image that I colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut before gluing to a calendar (made in Procreate using some freebie brush stamps then printed). All my patterned papers were created in Procreate.

The Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge June ππ°
It’s summertime the way I see it where I live! The mosquitoes are on an extended spring break and being very rowdy and disruptive to no end! That means lots of indoor crafting and this month we are using my little humble bunny to wish everyone Happy Birthday!

Mermaids, Half-o-Ween or Anything Goes at LeighSBDesigns n May!
I made a magnificent mermaid folio album using LeighSBDesigns Blue Lagoon Decorative Digital Paper pack and images following a tutorial and PDF with measurements by Vectoria Designs YouTube.
I made a pocket on the back. I added some mermaid scales in Procreate and layered up making a small shallow pocket. I want to add the Mermaid Scales Horizontal Slimline Card in this album but the Cricut was not set up. I wanted to use some ribbon I have that matches this paper so well but it remained hidden so the embroidery thread which tangles a bit too much! I plan on adding Coral, Neptune, Poseidon, Anubis the Dogfish, Basket the Catfish and Cleopatra Oddleigh Mermaid all from the FantaSea 2022 MerMay Collection from LeighSBDesigns. Time just swam right away from me! I am entering this at the LeighSBDesigns Challenge #41 Mermaids or Halloween in May or Anything Goes!

Monday Greetings with Kate Hadfield Designs!
I’ve had the best time crafting away with Kate Hadfield Designs this month! From a knight and his kingdom for Creative Inspiration Challenges to this monster-rific exploding card for the Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge where we are being sponsored by Kate!
The card all folded back into its little envelope with magnetic closure!
Beware opening this deceptively innocent little card because it is filled with some hungry, happy little monsters who are celebrating cutie pie blue monster’s birthday! I followed a YouTube tutorial by Sam Calcott UK to make this lovely explosion of folds to highlight these totally terrific little monsters! The set is Party Monster Stamps and I colored them all up in Procreate before printing out. If you haven’t visited Kate Hadfield Designs …..well, run along and see all the freebies and blog inspirations and you can thank me later! π₯³. Thank you so much, Kate, for sponsoring us at Monday Greetings for May! We are celebrating you this month!π. I hope to see all of our players this month at the Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge!

Creative Inspiration Challenges with Kate Hadfield Designs!
March is screaming through most of the United States causing blizzards for the northern states and tornadoes, rain, high winds and lots of thunderstorms in my area! I got lost in craft world playing with When Knights Were Bold Stamps by Kate Hadfield Designs! Kate is such a fantastic sponsor for our challenge and we adore her and her awesome designs! Thank, Kate! ❤️
