Welcome to another great challenge at PAPER PLAYTIME! We are so glad you are joining us for our AUGUST STAMPING MONDAY CHALLENGE! Our theme for this challenge is VACATION. The digi stamp that I used is from http://bonibleauxdesigns.blogspot.com and I think is really funny.

How to play along: Make a project with the theme of VACATION using a Stamped or Digi Image/Sentiment. Easy Peasy! As Cricut lovers can play too as long there is a STAMPED sentiment on the project. And for all you DIGI Lovers out there – use any Digi image or sentiment on your project.

You can enter as many times as you'd like as long as all your entries are NEW projects and NO backlinks to previous blog posts.

Birthday Card for a Good Friend


Here is a card that I made for a friend of mine. As gas is so high, I bought her a gas card. We are of the same age and this car from the Nifty Fifties is just perfect. We both probably had one of this type of car.

Deer Family



Here are a couple of pics of my latest sighting of deers. This looks to be a young family of the doe, buck and twin fawns. They are so cute and were having a wonderful time in my backyard.

Newsletter Crafting Challenge


Here is my entry for the Newsletter Crafting Challenge put on by Seneca Pond Crafts. Eileen sent out a sheet of images and asked that we make SOMETHING with it. I chose to make a Diorama. I added a few other things and think it came out quite well. Just a note......If you look in the left hand corner of the box, there is a table. On that table is a VERY mini replica of Flyboy, my cat. Of course I had to include him. This was alot of fun.

Paper Playtime Challenge


Here is the card that I made for the Paper Playtime Challenge. It was so fun. I used the Nate's ABC cartridge for the water, boots and umbrella. I mounted it on pearl finish paper. I added a bow and some paper beads that I made. They are made from strips of paper rolled around a toothpick and then dipped in Crystal Effects. I think it turned out really nice.

Wedding Shower Card


Here is a card that I made for a friend of mine who is going to a bridal shower. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the umbrella and then ran it through the Cuttlebug for flower texture. I mounted that onto the card and glued a bow on the handle. I made the roses from the Flower Shoppe Cartridge and added a flourish of pearls. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Bigger and Bigger


Here are the two twin fawns again. They have grown in such a short time. They are still VERY cute. Sorry about the grainy nature of the photo but I had to shoot it through my screen.
