Paper Beats Rock Designs

 Hello there crafty friends! This month's challenge theme over on the Aloha Challenge Blog is "Vacation Mode" and at first I was thinking of doing a beach themed or pool themed card. But when I thought back to childhood vacations, most of the time my family was camping or we ended up in the desert some where.  So with those memories inspiring me I created this card using Brandon Fishing from LeAnn's World 101. After printing and diecutting him out, I colored Brandon with alcohol markers and and used then to draw his background. I popped the diecut panel onto craft foam and mounted it into a patterned paper from my stash that reminded me of a camping blanket. I added a couple of rhinestones and highlights to his eyes with a gel pen to finish it off. I love this masculine card and I hope it inspires you to join the Aloha Challenge this month! Can wait you see what you create in "Vacation Mode"! 

Hey there crafty friends! It's time for another fun Progressive Challenge over on the LeAnn's World Facebook Group. This month's image is the adorable Dog Walker Annie. I wanted to put Annie in a little scene so I grabbed a pattered paper with a neighborhood scene on it from my stash and colored her in complimentary colors. Then I ran the front of my card through an embossing folder.  I stamped my sentiment on a piece of white paper, fussy cut it out, and popped it up on foam. I added some sparkly enamel dots to finish it off and added sparkles to Annie's eyes with a gel pen. If you'd like to participate in this month's challenge go on over to the LeAnn's World 101 Facebook Group and create your own project with Dog Walker Annie!

 Hello hello! It's the 3rd of the month and that means it's time for another challenge over on LeAnn's World 101 Challenge Blog! This month I used Sweets and paired her up with some paper in my stash that reminded me of confetti.  After I colored my image with alcohol markers and fussy cut her out I popped her on a die cut piece of paper and wrapped my background paper in twine. My sentiment is fussy cut from a cut apart by all Jen Hadfield's Live and Let Grow. Head over to the LeAnn's World Challenge Blog and enter your projects!
