WHAT IF? WEDNESDAY INSPIRATION CHALLENGE FOR JUNE

Hey there, blog friends!  

Here we are, mid-June...summer in Maine is just beginning.  The weather has swung the pendulum from summer to fall then back to summer again in a week's time.  We never put our coats away in Maine!  Sweatshirts and tank tops sit side-by-side in our dresser drawers....but....the flip flops are a constant.  :) 

Today there's a new challenge at The House That Stamps Built and we hope you'll play along. 

Don't you love this for inspiration????   

I used RI# 2411-K "Pelican's Piling"  stamp from Repeat Impressions for my focal image.  The sentiment is a combination from the large sentiment sets.  I love the look on that cute pelican's face, looks coy to me, so I made it for my hubby for Father's Day!  I used Copics for coloring the image.  

You will love the additional inspiration you find on the blogs from my Rock Star team mates.

COLOR CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hi blog friends!!!!  

It's Wednesday and time for another What If? Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  

The first Wednesday of the month is a color challenge and here it is!

This is one my favorite combinations and I always "see" nautical with these colors, so that's where I went.  

I used two Repeat Impressions stamps for this card,  RI# 2501-H "Happy Birthday From..."  (I cut the stamp in order to get a two-fer) and RI# 9805-J "Ship in a Bottle". I also used the fabulous flip stitched dies for the "film" effect.  

We hope you'll come on over to The House and join our color challenge this week.  There is a prize offered of $25.00 worth of incredible RI stamps.  All the details can be found HERE.  

Need More inspiration?  Visit these Repeat Impression Rock Stars....they are loaded with talent.

WHAT IF? WEDNESDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello blog friends!  

it's time for a sketch challeng at The House That Stamps Built Blog for Repeat Impressions Stamps.  

Since this weekend will be Memorial Day Weekend here in the USA, I wanted to make a card, using this sketch, that reflects my gratitude for our military men and women who have died for the freedoms I love.  

Memorial day was designated as "Decoration Day".  It was a day when the graves of the fallen were decorated in remembrance of their service.   Here is the original proclamation from 1868.  

The 30th day of May, 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.

The RI stamps I used for this card came from the awesome large sentiment sets "THANKS".  I masked off the "s" on Thanks in order to make it fit into the die circle.  

Come on over and play along with us.  It will be so much fun to see what you create with this sketch.  All the details on how to enter the challenge can be found at The House.  

My incredibly talented team mates have some inspiration for you too.  Check them out.  

                     Deonna   -   Heather   -   Joy   -   Kathy   -  Laurie  -   Patti J   -   Shirley

Thanks for stopping by.  Please take some time this weekend to remember those that died ensuring our freedoms.
