Family trip/Berenstein bears go camping


This cute little bear from Dee’s did geez colored with pencils and inks reminds me of a story book that I used to read to my son called Berenstein bears go camping I cut it into a square and I layered it on top of a calendar page that I had recycled which fit perfectly into the camping Theme. I used a framed pop-up sticker for the sentiment.








BBQ time/ you’re day


Perfect day for a Father’s Day or summer bbq.  I colored the image with pencil and fussycut to layer on a light blue cardstock. 










Better at the beach


 Life at the beach is always better! It is one of my very favorite things to do on vacation . I started with an all dressed up image colored with pencils used an oval dye cut and then kind of cut the bottom to fit in with the beach paper and layered it all on a craft card stock are used an oval die cut for the sentiment. I used a little bit of ink to make the sky and on the small sentiment…. for this particular card, I chose a sentiment, but I really have not a preference whether I put one on her I don’t.










Little man/ to cheer you


This cute little guy is somebody’s “main man” !  I stamped the image then used my square stitched dye, cut at an angle, layered on a red, and then on a green flip with the sentiment being on the inside to cheer you, and then on a blue card stock adding green buttons.  I don’t necessarily have a preference as to where the sentiment goes on the inside or the outside but for this particular card, it worked better just on the inside.

I’ve chosen a dry embossed (which I love to do, and there are so many fun patterns)woodsy background on brown paper, layered it on tan card stock and used a punch for the sentiment with two little Brads and added a couple gemstones in yellow to finish it off … and who doesn’t like book or a movie about a giraffe like Madagascar
