Happy Father's Day!

Hi blog friends!

I'm sure not too many dads will be reading my blog today, but if there are any, happy dad's day to you! 

Over at the Outlawz, it's a brand new week of challenges get on over there and check them out - AND don't forget to come back to Outlawz NEXT WEEK, because starting June 24, it's the BIG CELEBRATION of WHERE IN THE WORLD (are our) 2000 members.  We are celebrating members from 22 different countries and there are tons of prizes, great tutorials and lots of fun ways to help us celebrate our 2000 members world wide.  See the flashing flags in the upper lefthand corner of my blog?  You can click there and it will take you to more information.

The challenge for this week's Outlawz CAS card is to make a masculine card.  It being father's day and all, it's a great time to crank out some guy cards. 

My card features a Repeat Impressions stamp of a Maine lighthouse called "Portland Head Light" which is located in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.  This was the first commissioned light house in the USA and it was commissioned by George Washington and completed in 1791.  It's a gorgeous place to visit.  You can find out more about it and see more images on Google, if you're interested. 

 

I used card stock from Gina K Designs, Pure Luxury "Moonlit Fog", "In The Navy" and White.  After embossing some of the "Moonlit Fog" CS with a CB EF I then tore it and swiped it with some TH DI "Weathered Wood" to give the appearance of rocks.  The light house image was stamped with Memento "Danube Blue" and some Copic Y15 (Cadmium Yellow) was added to the light.  The sentiment is also a Repeat Impressions Stamp. 
I hope you all have a super day! 
Stop back on Wednesday for another Designer's Choice Challenge for Repeat Impressions and The House That Stamps Built Blog.  This time it will be my turn to challenge you.  I think you're going to like it.  I look forward to seeing you soon.

I'm also entering this card in The CuttleBug Spot Challenge "Shades of Blue for Dad".

STAMP OF THE WEEK WITH REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hello blog friends!

Do the weekends fly by or is it my imagination?  (That's rhetorical....no need to answer)  If someone has their hand on the brake though, I'd appreciate it if you'd pull that puppy, slow those weekends down and give us all more ink time....just ask'n.

It's Monday, so the good news is we're here with another Stamp of the Week with Repeat Impressions.  You may know these are featured stamps and if you would like to add a featured SOTW stamp to your collection, you can do so for 50% off the retail price.  It's a great deal and I don't know of any other stamp company does makes that offer week after week.  Check it out at The House That Stamps Built.  Grab the code and get the discount on "The Beav" #4211-K. 

If you like wildlife stamps, Repeat Impressions has some of the BEST collections I've ever seen. 

Here's a card I made using this cute stamp The Beav.

The image and water were colored with Copic Markers.  I highlighted the water with my Uni-ball Singo white pen.  I puched a small circle and sponged it with DI "Mustard Seed" to create the sun.  Easy peasy....clean and simple.
The sentiment is RI Stamp #4009-G (just scroll down the page on this link).
Check out the other Rock Stars to see their fabulous cards using this adorable stamp.

STAMPTV CSS DT COLOR CHALLENGE BLOG HOP

Welcome blog friends! 


We're having another StampTV Center Stage Spotlight Design Team blog hop and you're invited to hop along, get inspired and join us by creating your own card or project using our color combo for inspiration. 

If you've come from the outstandingly talented Brenda's blog then you're in the right place.  If not, you may want to go to the beginning of the hop and take in all the fabulous creations from start to finish. 

Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (June 12), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps! 

The Color Combo is Purple, Pink, and Green plus neutral colors (white, ivory, black, and brown) are also fine to incorporate.

Since it's June and the month for weddings, I decided to create a wedding card.

The GKD stamp set I used for this card is "With This Ring" by Rupa Shevde.  My card stock colors are GDK "Lovely Lavendar" and "Vibrant Violet".  I colored the cake with Copic Markers and then die cut the image using Spellbinder Labels Four.  While the image was still in the die, I lightly sponged some DI "Spun Sugar" around the edge.  The dp is from DCWV "Latte" Matstack.  Also added are Stickles and Liquid Pearls. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to leave a comment so you can be entered into the drawing for some fabulous GKD stamps. 

Now head on over to the so very talented and creative Geri's blog for some stunning inspiration.

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends!

I hope you're having a great week!  We're getting soggy and moldy here in New England with all the rain.  I hope our garden makes it through this stuff. 

One good thing about making cards is you can create your own sunny day with paper and ink.  LOL. 

Today, we're having a Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions and it's Joy's turn to challenge us.  She's challenging us to create a card using 2 images and 1 sentiment.  How fun is this? 

Here's my card for Joy's challenge - I created my own scenic spot that reminds me of growing up in the Adirondack Mountains and seeing the mountain vistas everywhere.  I love the mountains! 

My two stamps are #629-I "Mountain Vista" and #3415 -I "Adirondack Chair".  My sentiment is #3905-I "Where We Love".  The clouds are dies from Memory Box. 

Please visit the other Rock Stars for even more exciting inspiration for Joy's challenge. 

Joy - Karen - Lynette - Dawn - Makiko - Patti

We hope you'll play along with us and create your own card using Joy's challenge of 2 images and 1 sentiment.

 

Upload your creation to your blog or online photo library, copy the link and head on over to The House That Stamps Built and link it up.  You'll then be entered to win a Repeat Impression Stamp.  If you use a Repeat Impression stamp on your card, you'll be entered in the drawing twice.  Woohoo!!! Come on over and play! 

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your comments.  They make my day!
