Design Team ~ Tropical Santa

December is about over!!! A few short days till Christmas, followed by New Years! 
WOW! I can't believe how fast 2016 went! 

Not sure about you, but I have been so busy this month, and can't wait for a break! We have 2 weeks off for winter break with my boys, and I plan on lounging! I'm sure Santa needs a break too from all his hustle and bustle! Rumor has it, he hangs out in South Florida after the holidays ;) 



I told you I would find him on the beaches! 

I loved working with bugaboo stamps this month! I uploaded the PNG's into design space, used the print/cut feature and had a perfect image! I am not the best with coloring in stamps, but slowly learning, so bear with me! I used all scraps from my stash (goal this year is to get rid of my stash!) 

Bugaboo Stamps ~ Tropical Santa Suntan
Jaded Blossom ~ Aloha
Silver Ribbon ~ 3 Girl Jam

I hope you have entered into Connie's monthly challenge this month!!!

Thanks Coach!

Hi there! We had a super fun pre-season soccer party today for my kids soccer team...And since we never had their end of season party last year, we combined the 2 and gave our amazing coaches their gifts. I was in charge of making the cards for them and love how simple and cute they came out! 


I used a kraft cardbase (I love the big packs you can buy at Michaels!) and put some My Minds Eyes cardstock over it (opposite side is actually a Christmas print! LOL) I then cut out the grass with my explore and only adhered it in certain spots to keep the grass "flowy". My soccer ball, banner and sentiments all came from Jaded Blossom. I love how easy their dies and stamps are to work with! And of course, I use Close to my Heart ink for everything! 

Jaded Blossom Go Team
Jaded Blossom Sport Dies
Jaded Blossom Mini Tag Dies 2

"Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh,
A tubby, little cubby, all stuffed with fluff.
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh.
A willy, nilly silly old bear."

Let's head on it to the Hundred Acre Woods and visit with this Silly Old Bear!

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not a fan of Winnie The Pooh. I never was. So, this hop was sort of a challenge. for me. I'm not 100% thrilled with my card, but I also don't hate it. LOL So, here goes!


I found a free SVG of pooh and piglet online. I used pop dots to give them a little depth on the card. I found a cute quote from Winnie the Pooh that I used my explore to write on the card. Inside, I used one of my
  Close to my Heart stamps for the sentiment. 


 Up next is KIM

Monthly Challenge # 49 ~ Sketch Challenge


Its August already!!! And that means its time for another monthly challenge on Connie Can Crop's blog! The theme is a sketch challenge. I can't wait to see what you create! 

Here is the sketch to follow: 


And here is what I made: 


I used a card base I had in my stash. I took washi tape and ran it through my big kick using a Jaded Blossom Die to get the flag look. I cut a small piece of white card stock (looking at it, I should have jazzed up the white!) and added a blue flower to it. The Thank You stamp is from Close to my Heart using their "For Every Occasions" set.
