Sailing Sailing Over The Ocean Blue

It's Sunday and that means it is once again challenge time at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog. Our theme, this fortnight, is to make a project that features a hat. Sounds like a fun one, doesn't it?! Come over and play along with us in our challenge! You could be one of our winners! Heather is generously giving away prizes and a guest designer spot, so come link up for your chance to win a prize - Or have the honor of being selected as Top 3 or guest designer!
Hurry over and show off your hat in our latest challenge!


My card uses the image Bubbles Sailing, From Lacy Sunshine, colored with Promarkers. My card layout uses the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I never win there, but I really like thier sketches, so I like to play along now and then.  I chose not to add a sentiment or embellishment this time, since I like to sometimes just concentrate on showcasing the images and papers.

Yaaaar! It's Yar Birthday!

Ahoy mateys! Are you ready for some inspiration?! It's time for Oldie but Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug!
The Design Team has been hard at work with the older images from Bugaboo Stamps, creating some fabulous creative inspiration for you!  Of course, I have a card to inspire you, but if that's not enough, get your "booty" over to Catch The Bug and check out the inspiration from some other team mates!

My card today uses the sketch at Pink Gem, for my card layout.  The image is AKV Pirate Anchor
from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used dotted embroidery paper from my stash, for two of the circles. The pirate paper is new, bought specifically for this image.  The sentiment is punched and matted with circle punches.  I recycled the buttons from old clothing, and added some twine to the centers.

This turned out to be a fun masculine birthday card!

It's Your Birthday, Don't Be Crabby!

Don't be crabby! It's Friday! That means a fun, fabulous new freebie image for you, from Bugaboo Stamps! If you love water themed images and things that remind you of the ocean and summer, then you will  really be crazy about this one! How about this cute crab image, for a freebie this week?! I just fell in love with him when I seen him! Too cute!

If you'd like to see more fun crabby inspiration, head over to Catch The Bug and feast your eyes on all the fabulous examples featuring this cutie crab!

My project uses the sketch at Sunday Sketch And Stamp. I went for a male birthday card. The image is crab, the freebie friday image this week, from Bugaboo Stamps.  He's colored with Promarkers. I used a white opaque pen from Inkenstials, to add polka dots to the sails of the boat. All papers are from my stash.  I love the mix of this fun beach themed paper, with the polka dots. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched and matted with circle punches.  Both the sentiment and image are mounted with foam mounting tape, for dimension. The dew drop pearls are just the right bling for this card and are from my stash.
