A Card for 3 Challenges!

Last week was such a blur that I totally forgot about this week challenges! While surfing youtube I found an interesting tutorial for a very fun card. It maybe old to some of you but its new to me (so bear with me while my excitement stops bubbling). The style of this fun card is called "swing flip flop" (try saying that five times). And my oh my is it amazing! Its like having two surprises in one. I encourage you to try it out! You won't be disappointed. You may even become hooked like me and make tons of them. I will enter my simple creation in my favorite blog challenges:
cricut cardz challenge-monogram initial
cas-ualfridays-rub on or sticker
paper cutz challenge-anything type of project

I hope you enjoy and as always please feel free to leave comments and helpful tips!

Paper Playtime Challenge #50

Sigh of relief! I barely made the deadline for paperplaytime.blogspot.com summer theme challenge for this week. I was torn between two summer related dies in my mini cricut library. Can you guess what they were? The sun was one observably and the ladder was an umbrella. I guess I could have used them both but I needed to keep this one short and sweet. I can only hope my take on summer will shine as bright as other entries. I have never seen so many beautiful creations on a blog challenge before. I know that I am a newbie to crafting but my goodness! I have never heard of copic markers and digital stamping before until this very day. I am so "pro cricut" that I totally missed out on a very different yet creative approach to crafting. For those of you who use the copics for this challenge (Wendy Made Cammi and Mary C just to name a few) you have great patience and profound coloring techniques. I told myself that I would love to try but thought twice after seeing the prices for a set of copic markers. I rather have a closet full of the lastest Steve Madden shoe collection:) Well without further ado I present to you my simple (and I do emphasize the word simple) version of summer! I hope you enjoy and as always please feel free to leave me comments and helpful tips.
