You Float My Boat -- Guest Designing at The Outlawz

It's Sunday, and I have the pleasure of guest designing today at the Outlawz Sunday Challenges.  Sunday is the day for the Songs & Rhymes challenge.  I love today's theme!  It's using the song "Row Your Boat."  Remember that one?

Here's what I created for the challenge:

Here's how the song goes:

Row, row, row your boat,

gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

life is but a dream.

When I thought about the song, I decided to use the rowboat portion of the song for my card.  I found the 2 lovers in the rowboat in the Silhouette Design Store and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo 3.   I created the inky background behind the lovers with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks.  The sentiment was computer generated.   

The designer papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are from the Back to Basics Collection.

The Outlawz have a different challenge everyday of the week to check out.  Join us for the Sunday Songs and Rhymes challenge this week, and have fun with the Row Your Boat theme! 

Mermaid Missing You -- for Kinda Cute and The Outlawz

I'm guest designing today for The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes.  The song for this week's challenge is Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid.

What choice did I have but to color up a mermaid?

I created this Under the Sea themed card with a mermaid from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez because she has some great mermaids! This is Mermaid Staring at the Moon, colored with Copic markers.  

The papers for the card were found in the Silhouette Design Store and printed on a laser printer.  The card is a side step card.  I computer generated the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed my mermaid card.  I enjoyed the chance to guest design for Lynn and the entire Sunday team at The Outlawz! 

Check out the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez store for her whole mermaid collection -- and other wonderful digis and clear stamps. Then, look at her blog for her wonderful coloring, and designs from the design team.  Great inspiration!  There's also the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez Facebook Group where you'll find a monthly challenge, more inspiration and news.

Peppermint Mouse -- Outlawz Sketch, Song & Rhyme, Catch the Bug

This sweet mouse knows that Christmas is 5 months from tomorrow.  Five months!  I better get cranking on those handmade Christmas cards!  I've managed to get another made with this sweet digi from Bugaboo Stamps.  It's for their week-long Christmas in July challenge.  This is for Tuesday's bingo challenge (day 4):

The digi is called Christmas Mouse with Candy Cane and I colored her with Copic markers. 

Here's the bingo game.  I followed either the middle line across (patterned paper, Bugaboo image, use 3 colors [blue, red, tam]) or diagonally: bling, Bugaboo image, sparkle.

I used this week's sketch from the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge on this card.  

The papers on this card are from We Are 3.  They are the Christmas Magic papers.

Cinderella -- Guest Designing at The Outlawz Sunday Challenge

Happy Sunday, stamping friend!  I'm guest designing again this Sunday at The Outlawz for their Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge.  I was there last week, too, and I had so much fun.  

This week, the song is Lavenders Blue.  It's a modern Cinderella song.  So, what better than Cinderella's shoe, right?

I used an SVG cutting file from The Cutting Cafe to make this high heel shaped card.  The papers are a stack from DCWV.   I found the Cinderella quote on line, but I'm sure she said it!  The embellishment is from Close To My Heart.

There's not much else to say about this card.  It rather speaks for itself.

I want to thank Lynn Cupido and the rest of the team for the opportunity to guest design both this week and last week.  I had a wonderful time, and I know I'll be back participating in more Outlawz Sunday Challenges!  Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!

Hey, Beau-tea-ful -- guest designing at The Outlawz Sunday Challenges

Hello, and happy Sunday!  Today and next Sunday, I'm guest designing at the Outlawz Sunday Challenges.  I often play in the Outlawz Challenges, so I love it when I'm given the opportunity to guest design there.  The Sunday challenge group recently changed things up a bit, and started using songs & rhymes for their themes.  This week's theme has to do with cats.  You can see the whole verse over at The Outlawz here:  

With that cat theme in mind, but not really being a cat lover, I went searching for a cute cat image.  I found it at Di's Digi Stamps.  Here's what I made with Kitty in a Teacup:

I colored the Kitty in a Teacup image up with Copic markers, fussy cutting it out.  I found some teacup and tea pot papers, then a tea pot die and stamp, and my original idea of some sort of cat sentiment went by the wayside for this one (like I said, I'm not a cat lover).  The papers, die, and sentiment stamp are from Close To My Heart.  The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

I had a great time letting my creativity flow with the song verse from this week at The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes challenge.  I hope you join in the challenge.   It's great fun to have a chance to guest design for them!
