CCEE ~ Vacation Destination!

Hi friends!

Summer is winding down and in a few more days,

school starts up!

My son is very excited to start high school (gulp!)

and while I'm normally not excited that summer is over,

 I'm loving, and living, the excitement through his eyes!

So how fun that the new theme at the CCEE Stampers this week is ...

vacation destination!
Anne is our hostess this month and asked to also add a 3D element.

  I'm heading to Paris ....

want to come along?!

My card is using the My Favorite Things stamp In Paris (ret'd)

and Oh La La, I'd love to be here again!

I've been blessed to see France (and Paris) twice

and loved seeing the Eiffel Tower at night so that's what I went with!

You may have noticed I have a slight obsession going on 

with my distress oxides and making backgrounds!

From making galaxies to underwater, I just can't. stop. using. them!

The frame was creating using the MFT gift box die for the 'window'

and the girl is from another set "Adventure is Calling."

I colored her with a combo of copic markers and prismacolor markers.

 For the last piece, I heat embossed Bonjour with versamark and WOW white embossing powder and a heat gun. 
 The 3D element is the popped up traveler!

 You can see where the rest of the DT has headed off to vacation!

The blog shows all their wonderful cards

as well as a link up (very bottom of the post) for you to link your cards.

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

I'll enter this to: Rainbow Card Challenge ~ Purple!

Let's Travel!

 Hi friends!

It's time for another exciting challenge at The Ink Spot

and this week's theme is: Travel!

For my card today, I'm channeling my little guy who just left for

an 8 day Boy Scout adventure camp in Georgia :)

He's only 11, and it was a BIG STEP for us to let him go,

but he was going out of his mind with excitement for this trip!

Mommy needed to be a little brave, LOL :)

We've gotten word that he is having the time of his life,

as we knew he would ♥

From the merit badges and classes he's taking,

and the fun 'down time' with hiking, swimming, boating, etc - he's in his glory!

 

I had him in mind as I made this two part traveling card, 

starting on the front outside and finishing on the inside ♥

There is a total of 4 Riley and Company stamps on this card!

 The front of the card uses Hiking Riley
and the "I am" from the Inspirations sentiment - which is a wonderful way to mix and match your FunnyBones and Inspirations stamps!

Tbe inside features the brave sentiment stamp ~

along with Campfire Riley stamped and colored :)

To see what the rest of the DT created this week with the travel theme,

stop by The Ink Spot blog!

And don't forget to check out the monthly club kits! 
But wait - there's more!
Each Wednesday is a "Wacky Wednesday" flash sale -
and Friday Favorites!
So many ways to save, stamp and get inky!! :)
 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their summer!

I'll be home stamping - all week! :)

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
