Up, Up and Away!

Today's shaker card is the result of playtime after watching a video from Summer Card Camp 2! Playtime, fun time!

JIggy Beach Scene

Welcome to a new {Pin}spirational Challenge! This week we are sponsored by Stamping Dragon and Shelly's Images. For my card I used Jiggy Beach Scene from Stamping Dragons. For more inspiration from the design team and all the details to enter the challenge please visit {Pin}spirational Challenge and then play along!

A Zombi

Welcome to this week's Squigglefly Challenge hosted by Holley's Hobbyists! The challenge is Paper Piecing or Paper Piercing but if you are super creative do both! For my card I used A Zombi by Squigglefly artist, Fawn Palmer, plus it comes with fun sentiments to pick from. The inside of my card says, "They just keep coming and coming!" There is more to the sentiment but I liked it as is. So its time for you to join the fun! Remember to use a Squigglefly image to win but if you don't have one, try one of their freebies!

KO Kevin

Oh for goodness sake! Will Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' famous champ, KO Kevin, ever learn? The night before the welterweight championship match, Kevin's lovely wife, hoping for a compliment, ask him, "do these jeans make my butt look big?" Being an honest Joe, he answered "yes dear" and so she socked him right in the kisser! Next time Kevin, for goodness sake, say, "no dear, not at all dear, they look wonderful" and you will be able to see your opponent's fist coming right at you!

Myrtle And Her Turtle

I love all of the Wrinklies from Just Inklined but I think Myrtle and her Turtle tops the list of silly senior citizens with their pets! I can't help but wonder what Myrtle and her Turtle are waiting for?

You Are My Sunshine

This card is the result of playing with new dies and it makes me want more!!

Berrylicious and Vellum

Today's card is pretty simple to create using Pop Tones 65# Berrylicious cardstock and Heavy Duty Clear Vellum from The PaperTemptress! I first stamped the image onto the cardstock and then I stamped two pieces of vellum and adhered them all together. The sentiment and corners were added to complete the card. Easy as 1-2-3!

Gus Birthday

Today's card feature Gus Birthday - Old Fart from Bugaboo Stamps! I made the card for someone that likes to laugh!

I Dream of Genie

When you want to send special birthday greeting to a loved one halfway around the world what do you do? You enlist the help of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' magical I Dream of Genie and include three wishes, good health, love and laughter! And poof, the wishes are delivered!

Pelargonium

Today's card features another beautiful floral from Janey's Digi Designs! The Pelargonium is more commonly called geranium!

Mary Mary

Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockleshells and tons of weeds! But Mary, Mary, one of the new Wrinklies from Just Inklined, has loaded her wheelbarrow with straw and she's planning on covering the weeds so no one will notice!

Twinkle, Twinkle

After watching a video by Kristina Werner for Online Card Classes, Summer Camp 2, I was inspired to create today's card! 

Coneflowers

My coneflowers are in full bloom but instead of posting a picture of them, I decided to use the digital image, Coneflowers by Diana Garrison, a new release from Squigglefly! 

Lovely Robot

Welcome to this week's {Pin}spirational Challenge! We are very pleased to have as our sponsors Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and Birdie Brown Digital Stamps!

Beautiful Mermaid

Welcome to a new Squigglefly Challenge! This week Holley's Hobbyists are the hosts and the challenge is Emboss Me! Add something embossed to your card using embossing folders, dry embossing or embossed elements! For my card I used the new image Beautiful Mermaid by Squigglefly's amazing artist, Fawn Palmer! The image also comes with its own sentiments! I embossed the background, the starfish and the crabs! So get out your embossing tools and get busy! Remember to use a Squigglefly image to be eligible to win and if you don't have a Squigglefly image, try one of their freebies!

Polly Dent

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' antique rocker, Polly Dent, is headed out of town and doesn't plan on returning! Such a sad sight to see her decrepit boyfriend of many moons, Duncan Disorderly, pushing his walker as fast as he can while begging Polly to come back and give him another chance! But it looks like Duncan's goose is cooked since Polly caught him flirting with Night Nurse Nina!

Basket Bear

Thank you for joining us for the Squigglefly 'Shy Bears' Blog Hop. This hop is dedicated to Melissa Chettle and her son Justin. Melissa was a friend of Squigglefly Design Team member Charlene. Sadly, Melissa died very unexpectedly at the end of June, at 43 years young!

At the end of April, Melissa asked Charlene to make her a bunch of Shy Bears cards - any image, any theme, any colours . . . just Shy Bears because she loved them all! If you are not familiar with Shy Bears, they are created by Lynne Stansbery, a fabulous artist at Squigglefly and my card today features Basket Bear. There is a whole section in the store with so many fun images for all occasions!

Melissa didn't get the chance to see the cards that Charlene made but we wanted to support Charlene in her request to dedicate this hop to Melissa. Melissa, here's to you . . . R.I.P. 

Charlene has listed more info about Melissa on her personal post. Please visit all the blogs and be sure to leave a comment. One lucky winner will receive 3 free images of their choice. Listed below is the hop order in case you'd like to follow along.

Roly and Roly

Have you ever heard the rumor that a dog and its master will look alike? I think the fun Roly and Roly, one of the many new Wrinklies recently released by Just Inklined, rather proves the point! Oh happy day, what a thrill to know that I look like a beautiful golden retriever!

Geum

Today's card features a portion of the beautiful Geum from Janey's Digi Designs! In hindsight, I should have used the entire flower and left the black vine die cut for another card! 

Tuscan Sun and Lime Bricks

Today's card features more goodness from The PaperTemptress! The background and sentiment is RC Tuscan Sun cardstock with Lime Brickwall overlay. The vines were cut from Gumdrop Green 65# Pop Tones cardstock. Quick and easy to make but amazing results!

Yeehaw

When the fabulous Jak Heath posted the hilarious Yeehaw from Mo's Digital Pencil, I knew I had to have it! It is the perfect image for a special someone's birthday!

A Simple Gift of a Flower

It is with great pleasure and affection that I join the Squigglefly design team today to say A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO HOLLY, the talented superglue that keeps us together! I officially joined the design team in January 2011 and since that time Holly has been the go-to person and regardless of the time of day or night, is always available when help is needed! So to you Holly, I say thank you for all that you do, you deserve more than just a special day!

For my thank you card I used the sweet, A Simple Gift of a Flower by Squigglefly's wonderful artist, Cheryl Alger!

I.T. Ian

The forlorn I.T. Ian from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps won the Blitz Kaboom Computer Championship last year! As the defending champion Ian spending hours playing the game to sharpen his skills in the hopes of bringing home the crown once again! The night before the game, Ian decided to do a little dusting and cleaning of his computer to make sure it would be working at full capacity and speed. Sadly, Ian had no idea how to put the computer back together and he missed the challenge!

The Caravan Club

Today's card features The Caravan Club from The Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD ROM! I sure hope the folks get to enjoy their franks and burgers before the bear hiding in the bushes does! 

Wooden Barrel and Flag

Today card features the soon to be released Wooden Barrel and Flag, by Squigglefly's artist Pamela Lehto, to help me wish you a very safe and happy Fourth of July! 

Get Ready to Celebrate

Tomorrow American's honor this great country's birthday and with that in mind, I set about creating a card to remind us that each day we should appreciate our independence and celebrate! I used stamps from this month's Simon Says Stamp July 2013 "Summer Fun" card kit and the sentiment is from the dollar bin at the craft store.

Ice Cream Bear

Welcome to a new {Pin}spirational Challenge! This week we are sponsored by QKR Stampede and Pattie's Creations Digital Stamps! For my card I used QKR Stampede's adorable Ice Cream Bear!
