Bunches of Sunshine

Summer Card Camp Week 3
This will probably be my last card for the week. Was hoping to try the "finger inking" but looks like my time is going to run out on me. Again, thanks so much to Jennifer and Kristina for their mentoring us through the past 3 weeks. It has been great!

Here are our colors for this week.

And here is my card:

Flower is HA CL374

Sentiment is HA CL490

Butterfly is MS Punch

Pattern Paper: Paper Studio

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Button on the flower is brown with some twine (had to take the picture in the house and the lighting was not good.)

Thought for the Day:

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:37-39

A New Day

Thought For The Day

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 8:32

Feel Better Thoughts

Starting off a new week for Summer Card Camp. This is my first card for this week. Lots of browns in this weeks challenge and can I say that I don't do brown well - not in clothes and not on cards :-)

So here's my first take on it. I have seen so many beautiful cards in this weeks Student Gallery so maybe I can get some inspiration from there.  Thank you for stopping by!

The large background is some patterned paper I have from Paper Studio.

The background for the bird is HA CG119 using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo.

Bird Stamp is Stampabilities Cherry Blossom Bird KR1061.

I know Cherry Blossoms are pink but for the sake of this card they are now red :-)

I don't know what kind of sweet little bird this is either but for the sake of this card he looks pretty good in red :-)

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!

Thought for the Day

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect"

Last Card for Week 2

Camp has been so much fun! Again many thanks to Jennifer and Kristina for hosting!
Here are our colors for this week and then we were given additional ones on Friday, however, I'm thinking when you look at mine I threw in a color that is not on any of the combinations :-) Oh well, Enjoy!

Here is my last card for week 2 of Summer Camp. Thanks for stopping by!

I am sending this to a dear sweet lady in our church who recently had surgery. Please pray for her. She is 86 years old.

Just got this large wood flower stamp at Michael's and have loved using it. I had the smaller version in a clear set. Trying to use summer colors and was real pleased with the outcome.

TYFL!

Colored with Copics, Glossy Accents on center of flower
Sentiment: HA CL499
Top Portion is embossed with Cuttlebug
Bottom Portion is pp
Can't really tell but the middle section is green gingham pp
Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Thought for the Day

A good name is more desirable thn great riches;

to be esteemed is better than silver and gold.

Proverbs 22:1

Summer Card Camp Week 2

This is the end of our second week at "camp". I am thoroughly enjoying the color schemes - which have definitely challenged me at times! Thanks so much to Jennifer and Kristina for all the time they have put into preparing for this class.

Here's my last entry for this week and I chose a color combo from Friday which I do not use very often even though two of the colors are my Alma Mater's - UGA - Go DAWGS! I love college football and I am a huge fan of SEC Football. During the fall of the year you will definitely find me and my husband in front of the TV on Saturdays from noon until. Who is your favorite college football team?

The colors are yellow, red, black and 2 shades of gray. So here it is. Very simple but I sure struggled with the yellow and the gray! At least the red and black go with all my Georgia stuff in our play room :-) The background paper on the sentiment is gray but the flash on my camera faded it out so that it looks white. :-(

Cuttlebug embossing on the red.
HA background: S5507 Envelope
HA Sentiment: CL 434
Penny Black: Flower 4160K (I have enjoyed this stamp so much)

Thank you for stopping by!

Thought for the Day:

Sweet Birthday Wishes

Here is my second card for Week 2 of Summer Card Camp. For some reason I really struggled getting the red on as part of this weeks colors. I think it was because I started using so much of the orange and yellow that I thought the red would look really strange. The red check paper is darker than it looks in the picture. But here it is and I am pleased with the result. This is also one of the rare occasions when I do embossing. Another technique that I need to practice on.

Enough of all that :-) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Here are the colors we are working with this week:

My card using this combo:

Thought for the day:

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

James 1:5-6

Tropic Birthday

Here's my take on the colors for Week 2 of Summer Card Camp. I am so enjoying the color challenges because it makes it so much easier and faster for me when I know the I colors that I am going to use. This one was fun and went together fairly quickly. It is going to be a birthday card  for my sister-in-law.

Thanks Jennifer and Kristina for mentoring us.

The background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Nine
Hero Arts K5431
Copics
Distressed edge of middle die with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade
"Bling" Butterfly and "bling" on flower

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Thought For The Day:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
