Dynamic Duo's #59, Mojo Monday #300, CAS-ual Fridays #107 and NBUS

Happy Tuesday...a few more cards to share today. This is what happens when I am off for the summer, lots of crafting time.  My first card is my second for this week's Dynamic Duo's #59 and the first one for CAS-ual Friday #107. Gray is another color I do not use much but have to say that I am really loving it, so that is why I made a second card.  I am using a NBUS on this card, the Live, Love and Life stamp set from PTI and a few little sequins to add a little pop to my card.  I CASe'd one of Dawn's cards and you can see it here.  It was so much fun to make, I don't usually like the graphic type stamps but this has really grown on me.  

My next card is for this weeks Mojo Monday...my first time playing along with them. This is their 300th challenge, wow! I had no clue Mojo Monday had been around for that long.  There is still plenty of time of play along and there are lots and lots of prizes up for grabs too!  I have some NBUS for this card too, the patterned paper and the silhouette stamp from Jenni Bowlin - Whimsy Silhouette.  Thank you so much for stopping by to peek at my cards....have a great holiday week!

SSS - Transport, Cards for Maddy, CTD #246 and CFC #105

Happy Saturday! I have 3 cards to share today, 2 of them I made last night but it was too late to get them posted so I made one more to add to my little bundle today.  I was a bit stumped last night on what to make and Joyce mentioned making a card for Maddy and I used the sweet color combination from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #246.  She is a sweet young lady who is battling cancer, no child should ever has to go through this. Simon Says Stamp is hosing this challenge to send her as many cards as possible. The staff at the hospital have a map and pin where all the cards come from, it would be wonderful to see all the cities and states pinned.  You still have plenty of time to play along you can find the link here.

My next 2 cards are for SSS - Transport and CFC #105 - Mapquest.  I have this fun little collection of cars and buses for Lucy (my Silhouette) that I have been wanting to play with them and thought this was the perfect challenge to do so. Ashleigh came in while I was making my little bus and started singing "we all live in a yellow submarine", I had to stop her!!! I am not a big fan of the Beatles and this on at the bottom of my list of their songs I will tolerate.  Not to get too far off track but I do love Sir Paul McCartney and will get to see  him at Outside Lands in August. Once I finished my card I thought it needed a hidden Mickey on it with the colors I used.  

My final card is for another travel card using the new October Afternoon - Travel Girl patterned paper. I used the luggage tag die from Taylored Expressions that I forgot I had until I saw Tracey from In My Creative Opinion use one that I sent her.  Funny how you get so many supplies and forget what you have! I am sure that has never happened to any of you right?  It was a fun card to make and I paired it with the Destinations stamp set from PTI, such a great match.  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and peek at my cards...have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dad's out there!

Happy Saturday once again....I have two more cards to share tonight and each card will go to the challenges listed above.  Thanks to my friend Joyce, the challenge queen...she always knows all the current challenges.  I decided that all the cards I made today were going to use stamps that have never seen any ink, so much fun playing with new goodies, even if they have been hanging around for some time.  

My first card is for this week's PTI - Make it Monday, Dynamic Duo's, Freshly Made Sketches and CAS-ual Fridays.  My inspiration for this card is this week's color combination from Dynamic Duo's, pink and brown look so beautiful together!

My second card is for PTI - Make it Monday and CAS-ual Fridays challenges.  This was my first take at using the banner/flag trend, so fun to do and the possibilities are endless.  I used the Heart-2-Heart stamp set with the sweet sun and a few clouds from PTI dies...I needed a rainbow to go with them and used Doodlebug Take Note patterned paper for my rainbow flags, I love the way my card turned out.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by for a peek at my cards....enjoy the rest of your weekend!
