PAR-TAY!!!!!!

Good Morning!!!!! It's time yet again for Party Time Tuesdays!!!!! Right now, I am on vacation on the Gulf of Mexico in Palm Harbor Florida (Honeymoon Island),,,,,,,,

I've set my post to post, so if you're seeing this,,,,,,,,,IT WORKED! LOL!

It's that time of year yet again when we honor our fathers and husbands for being amazing fathers throughout the year!

So our challenge this week at PTT is we want to see your Father's Day Cards with "All things Mechanical",,,,,,,huh, gotcha thinking there, didn't I??

Never fear, the PTT Design Team has some fantastic inspiration for you to get you going, so make sure you hop right over there and leave some love for the DT while you're at it!

Our amazing month long sponsor for June is Robin's Nest, who've provided fantastic papers, dew drops and rub ons for our projects!

Joining us for this week are The Stamping Boutique

and Robin's Fetish who provided stamps for this week!

Thank you so much for the generous donations of our sponsors!

I created my card with this adorable and unique bicycle built for two digi by Robin's Fetish!

All papers are Robin's Nest,,,,,and the corner element and sentiment (under bicycle) are both rub ons from Robin's Nest as well,,,,,,,

some pretty dew drops and a triple bow made of hand dyed seam binding, and she's finished,,,,,,,pretty simple, but men don't seem to go for a ton of ribbons and lace, now do they? LOL

Here's a close up of this cute digi stamp and the sentiment,,,,,,,

I hope you enjoyed the card, thanks for looking, and make sure you go over to Party Time Tuesdays to load up your card for the challenge!!!!!

Vintage School Girl!

Good afternoon! I hope everyone else has gotten more accomplished today than I have. I have been LAZY! Husband is working, and I have done nothing but lounge in bed and take pics for my blog LOL.

Whatever you're doing today, I do hope you have a bit of time to relax in this crazy last week before the holidays!

It's time again for the new Sugar Creek Hollow challenge! YAY! the theme this week is THANK YOU. They want to see our thank you cards, and you can find that challenge HERE!

Well, it just so happens, I have a lovely reason for a thank you card. My MIL sent us all some money for the holidays,,,,,,how sweet! I think I am going to spend mine on several sets of nesties and dies!

So, onto the card I'm sending my MIL. This is an adorable image from a new site I happened to run across yesterday,,,,awesome site! You can find the button on my side bar (Pointing finger), but the name of it is freevintagedigistamps.com. FANTASTIC SITE! I took this darling school girl and cropped out the ABC that was above her,,,,,I pulled her into Picnik and added a THANK YOU to the bottom and printed her in sepia. I then colored her with copics. I wasn't too worried about blending, because I wanted the old 50's children's book illustration look. Plus, I was going to be toning all the colors down by tapping sepia ink onto the colored image with a sponge, so blending wouldn't show as well anyhow. I layered on the MME paper (Market Street) using the sketch over at the MME blog here! A bit of lace, some stickles, pearls, hand died seam binding in this GORGEOUS peachy pink, a bit of border punching, a stick pin and TONS of inking, and she's done! Isn't she adorable????

Do go have a look at the two challenges here,,,,,the Sugar Creek Hollow and the MME challenge. But HURRY on the MME, it's got less than a day left!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoyed! I hope you have a lovely last day of the weekend!

BLOG CANDY!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week! No card right now (I've been finishing a paid order, so haven't had much time),,,,,,,BUT I do have some blog candy for you! It's just a little give away, nothing huge,,,,,,,,but I'm hoping someone will love it!

I've been wanting to do a give away since I started my blog,,,,,,but with working nights and then being out of work, so everyone else using MY car,,,,,,I haven't had a for sure day that I could get to the post office and mail :)

Now that I DO, however, my give away is pretty simple!

Four colors of hand dyed seam binding,,,,,2 yards of each color (that's 24 feet of dyed seam binding FREE!),,,,,,,,,and possibly more than 2 yards :) Depends on how much I have :)

The colors are a gorgeous medium blue,,,,,,,,,a medium pink, truly lovely, a peach/peachy pink, and a light orange,,,,,,,,,some of my favorite colors that I tend to use over and over again!

The seam binding is hot water bath dyed in RIT dye, so it's not crunchy like it can get when dyed with paint products or glimmer sprays,,,,,,,it's soft and makes the lovliest bows!

So, to win, all you have to do is

1) become a follower if you aren't already (if you are, skip to step 2)

2) leave a comment on THIS POST. Any comment will do,,,,,just say "HI!"

3) be sure to include your email in your post so that I can notify you that you won.

A winner will be picked Friday morning, so you have until Thursday night to leave a comment!

I hope you enjoy the blog candy and thanks for reading! I'll be back later with some cards!
