It's time for a new challenge over on the YNS Blog and this one is all about saying Thank You!

 

It's always good to add Thank You cards to my stash! This one features a sweet butterfly from the Spread Your Wings stamp set, and a sentiment from Phoebe and Pets. The layers were cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies and Stitched Ovals Dies.

  

   

I added a little bit of glitter to the wings, and finished the card off with some burlap twine.

   

  

Copics:

Body - T7, T5, T3, T2

Wings - YR04, Y38, Y35, Y32 and Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11

I'm super excited to be joining my first ever Tiddly Tuesday as part of the Tiddly Inks Design Team!

   

I have wanted to try out for this team for YEARS... seriously! I've watched many DT calls come and go, but it was never the right timing... until now!!

Big thanks to Christy Croll for this awesome opportunity! Pretty much a dream come true! :)

    

      

The first Tuesday of every month is the start of a new challenge at Tiddly Inks, and this month is

Share your project with us over on the blog, just remember it must include

a Tiddly Inks image.

  

For my first official make, I colored up Thankful Heart Wryn.

 

  

It's a clean and simple design with sweet Wryn being the center of attention!

I paired her up with a scrap of Doodlebug paper, and colored her with Copics to match. The sentiment comes from a Clearly Besotted set called Cheeky Monkey.

It's my turn to share for the YNS Summer Series today! Each day for 10 days, the YNS team is bringing you summer fun! We are already on Day 8, so have a look back at the YNS Blog to make sure you haven't missed anything!

  

For my summery project, I've created a cute little 6x6 scrapbook layout for one of my family's favorite summer activities... tubing on the river!

I love scrapping in this size for a lot of reasons... The bigger size pages tend to overwhelm me, and these 6x6 pages feel more like a card surface, so they are a little less intimadating to take on for someone (me) who is more of a cardmaker than a scrapbooker. I've also discovered that I'm not the best at taking photos... I'm lucky to remember to snap one or two photos during a fun time, so I end up with less pictures to work with for a memory. Also... they are just CUTE! I love how these little 6x6 pages look framed! :)

   

     

I colored up Waddles in his tube from the Waddles - Beach Day Set. Doesn't he make the perfect embellishment for the page?!

I paired him with some navy wave paper from the Seas the Day 6x6 Paper Pad, and some orange dot paper from one of my Doodlebug pads. I created the title for the page by cutting letters from the Bold Alpha Dies, and stamping a sentiment below it from the Learning is Fun Stamp Set. Now I just need to pop a picture onto the white mat, and I'm done!

    

   

Waddles - T7, T5, T3, T2, T1

Beak - Y38, Y35, Y32

Cheeks - R30

Tube - YR07, YR04, Y38, Y35, Y32, E50

It's my turn to share some June New Release inspiration over on the YNS Blog today!

I combined two of the new sets to make my card (Cool Tees and Coffee Cuties) and used some paper from the Crazy For Coffee 6x6 Pad. I think it's so much fun!

  

   

I stamped the silly coffee mug using my YNS Mocha Ink Pad, colored him with Copics, and cut him out with the Cool Tees Die Set. He is popped up next to the sentiment from Coffee Cuties (also stamped in Mocha) but with the word "FRIDAY" from the Cool Tees Set popped up over the end of the sentiment. I've also used the Stitched Oval Dies and Stitched Rectangle Dies.

   

  

Mug - W3, W1, W0, W00

Coffee - E49, E47, E44

Tongue - R85, R83, R81

Eyes - BG0000, C00

  Today is my little guy's birthday, and the kiddo loves penguins! When I saw the Penguin Poop stamp set from Whimsy Stamps, I just had to have it! It was perfect for his birthday card!
