How is it June???

OK seriously, how is it June already?  Seriously?  The older I get, the faster time just seems to fly right by!  I have four projects to share today so as my friends across the pond say, grab a cuppa and get comfy!  ;)

My first project is for our reminder post at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: On the Playground

My friend Arielle is sponsoring us with a $20 certificate for one random winner to her sweet shop Wax Fruit Company - you definitely want to play along for your chance at this awesome prize!  My ATC was made with one of her adorable images, I inserted it into my Microsoft Works document, then changed the dimensions to be ATC-sized (3.5 x 2.5 inches) - where normally this image is a square one.  I then printed it directly on DP and colored with a variety of mediums, then added the sentiment across it like a banner, the middle is popped up a bit. I covered the clouds with white Fun Flock to finish it off.

Next up we have a brand new challenge for you at:

Just Some Lines

Moving forward, our themes will be Anything Goes - you just have to use any image from Just Some Lines.  We hope you find this a fun and easy way to play along with us!  My image is called "Mother's Day - For You" but I turned it into a birthday card for my friend to give her mom.  I used some daisy digi paper and ribbons from SU! along with my Dymo Caption Maker to create the sentiment.

Now, seeing how it is June 1st - we also have a new challenge for you at:

And here is my creation:

I chose #'s 2, 3, and 4 to create my card using Monument from our sponsor, Rick St. Dennis, printed on some spider web DP and colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits with a touch of glitter.  I am also entering this into the Southern Girls Tic Tac Toe Challenge (I chose gems or sequins, distressing or ink, and spots).

And last for today - I was asked to be a guest designer for a brand new challenge blog called:

Crafty Friends Challenge: Anything Goes

I used an image from their sponsor, MilkCoffee, called Soya & Dandylion, isn't she sweet?  Come check out the challenge and play along!  I am also entering this card into MilkCoffee's "Load on the Flowers" challenge.  Peace.
