Gus Baseball

Happy Summer!  I have finally finished with work for the summer, and like every eager child I broke myself on the first day of vacation!  Yup, tore a muscle in my calf.  Luckily I can still drive, but I am totally not digging the crutches!  GRRRR

Oh well, at least I am home right?  At Dream Valley we are having another challenge: Inspired by a Song/Movie/Book.  I have chosen a great summer movie, A League of Their Own.  For the stamp I have used Bugaboo stamp - Gus Baseball.  A clean and simple card on kraft cardstock.  Gus was stamped and colored on white with copics, then cut out.  

Hey, did I mention that our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs?  They are giving one random winner 3 images!  Sweet!

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Pile it On - outdoor fun

Chocolate, Coffee, and Cards - summer fun

Crazy 4 Challenges - summer/winter

Have a great week, and don't hurt yourself!

BBQ TIME!

Hello!  Today marks the last day of school for my kids!  I know, late huh?  I personally only have two more days then I will be off for the summer too!  Can't wait!  What better way to celebrate then with barbecue!?!  

Over at the Riley and Company blog Joy has challenged us to make a card or project using a Riley image or Funnybone sentiment that is associated with food or drink.  How fun!  There were so many to choose from, but I decided to use BBQ Riley that you can find HERE in the Riley and Company Store.

Here is a list of design team member's blogs so that you can see their gorgeous creations:

For my card I have used a stamp from Bugaboo called Stella Love - Misery.  I stamped the image, made a mask for the center, then sponged pink around the outside of the image.  I thought the image and sentiment spoke for themselves! LOL

We are finally in our last full week of school for the year.  Things are a little bit hectic right now, so I will get out of here, clean up, and try to get some rest!  

Have a great week!
