Summer in Nantucket ...

 

Hi friends!

Welcome to summer in Nantucket!

This has been a fun-filled week of cardmaking with sharks

and coming up with fun ways to incorporate them into my creating.

This was an idea I *saw* in my head (ahem - first red flag!)

and when I went to actually make it ....

welp.

 

So, here's my we-just-stopped-by-the-giftshop-on-vacation postcard!

Kinda looks like the ones we'd get back in the day, right?!

Honestly, it's almost funny ... especially with the LIGHTHOUSE

in the MIDDLE of the ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Double ahem.

I used various Lawn Fawn stamp sets to create this fun card

and a theme of Red, White and Blue for my Wednesday 

card group on Instagram.

The ink blend was using Distress Oxide Inks and if you look closely,

I inverted the ocean with the darker 'bottom' on the top.

Totally meant to do that - YEP! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

CCEE2221 ~ Country Cookin' :)

 

Hey y'all!

Mighty nice to see ya today!

We're cooking up something country today at the 

CCEE Stampers blog!

Our sweet hostess, Lynn, is starting us off with the June challenges

and I'm sure it will be a fun month!

This is what she says:

 In the USA, June has been declared country cooking month. I am therefore asking the CCEE Stampers to create cards which feature fabulous bounty from the garden in the form of fruits or vegetables that you love to prepare and serve your family during the hot months of summer.

I LOVE vegetables!

I decided to create a card with my favorites: carrots :)

I grabbed a couple of Lawn Fawn stamp sets

and Lawn Fawn designer paper

and created this cute card ~ lots of sharing and lots of carrots!

I do not have a green thumb for gardening or harvesting or canning

but I am a self taught pretty good cook :)

Many friends and family around our table will attest to that

and based on how many 'repeat visitors' I get that lick their plates clean,

I'm guessing it must be true!

So win/win - LOL!

That's it for me, friends!

Please visit the CCEE Stampers blog to see all the DT cards

as well as link up yours!

Thank you, Lynn, for the fun challenge!

So pull out your stamp collection and see what you can put together for this country cooking challenge. Should you post your project to an on-line gallery other than your blog, please add CCEE2221 as a keyword on hashtag.

Crafty hugs,

Kelly

Writing My Story (card #3) ~ Crime shows!

 Hi friends!

Today's card is a crime!

Thank you SO MUCH for the birthday greetings! 

Crafty friends are the BEST friends!

Today's card is the 3rd installment of my blog series:  

Writing My Story :)

I asked my husband, 4 children and my son-in-law 

to write down 2 things about me that makes me ME in their eyes.

I don't know what they all said but I'm SO curious!

.My daughter gives me one each month to create the card 

and all the details are here on the first post!

 you can read all the details here on the intro post

March is from my daughter, Victoria!

 I do!

Although I don't watch tv very much at all, when I do,

it's usually a crime related movie or show.

And I LOVE a good crime book!

I used several Lawn Fawn stamps to create this card 

to resemble Nancy Drew. 

My first set of books was the Nancy Drew series which I had to have

after seeing my brother read the Hardy Boys series.

She's a little more modern with a cell phone, LOL!

I created the desk/lamp from You're Just My Type,

the stool is from Merry Mice Chibitronics,

the girl and phone and foods are from Screen Time

and finally, the WOW bubble is from Super Star.

The papers are from Spiffy Speckles and Perfectly Plaid remix.

 I'm sure she's getting all the details to solve the latest crime!

Here's the inside. 

This summer, my daughter and I binge watched all 3 seasons of

The Fall from her house and mine

and we stayed up all night, texting.

It was SO exhilerating and supsenseful!

One final look:

I'll enter this to the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #97 :

Inspired by a Book (Nancy Drew), movie or song.

Thanks for stopping by!
