FLAMINGO LINGO

HEY BLOGGIES,

Today I have a card I made for the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY challenge.  It is also MY sketch we are working off of today:

And here is my card made with the sketch:

 I used whisper white, basic black, pool party for the card stock colors.

Petite petal punch to punch out the flower, which is part of the Flamingo Lingo stamp set.  Oval Framelets sponged.  And the Lovely Amazing You photopolymer set for the cute feathers.  The flamingo and feathers are fussy cut and put up on Stampin' Dimensionals to pop off the card.

Thanks for stopping by.  Did I mention if you purchase the Flamingo Lingo stamp set then Stampin' Up! donates to the Ronald McDonald house a portion of the price?  Fun stamp and doing something worthwhile all at the same time!!  WIN=-=WIN SITUATION FOR SURE!

SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CARD WITH MY BIG SHOT

HEY BLOGGIES,

I still have a special love for my BIG SHOT.  And now that there are so many word dies out there I am falling in love all over again with it!!

Today I have a simple but beautiful card following this SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CHALLENGE:

And here is my card that just happens to NOT have any stamping on it!!  That doesn't happen very often, but this time it did and it is still a beautiful card because of my BIG SHOT.

I used clear plastic thread to hang the purchased die cut butterfly in the center of the die cut oval hole.  I used the oval framelets for the smaller hole and the Oval Scallop Frame that is retired for the larger hole and scallop edge.  I love how it came out and hope you do too.  Always is a small framelit word on a line die.

Make sure you stop by to see what all the design team have made for you.  Then create your own card and upload it so we can see your creation, ok?

I am also entering this card at Friday Mashup using their sketch:

NEW CARD CLUB NIGHT -- FATHER'S DAY CARDS

HEY BLOGGIES,

I had my first new card club night this week and we made two father's day cards and a thank you card.  It was so fun to get to know these new ladies.  We enjoyed good company and yummy snacks along with creativity and laughter.

I didn't get photos of everyone with their cards, but I did manage to get two sweet gals to share some of our creativity.

Here is Gayla with two of her cards.  She organized the card group night for us

 The card on our left is from an idea that Mary Fish showed on her blog - thanks for sharing, Mary!!  The card on  the right is one I did with my downline last week.  It is a very simple but elegant card.

This gal brought the beverages.  Some Italian sodas and Perrier.  Several ladies brought snacks and goodies.,  Everyone had a yummy (I mean fun) time!!  grin
