HIMCR #256-Any Holiday

Happy Saturday!

How is you??

School is out, and the summer vacation 

has started for my little Miss!

Let me say it will 

be a challenge to keep her busy this summer.

LOL

A new challenge has started over 

on the 

Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

HIMCR #256 - Any Holiday!

The sponsor is Sami Stamps!

The giveaway is $12 Gift Certificate 

to Sami Stamps!

With the theme in mind, the

Design Team were to choose an image.

Let me say, very difficult

to choose just one...lol

So many options.

Then I saw one that I knew I 

would use for other ideas, too.

(I love that about digital stamps--

so versatile!)

And here she is:

I colored her with Prismacolors

colored pencils.

The papers are a variety--

DCWV, Jillibean Soup, 

Graphic 45.

The wood veneer, from Jillibean

Soup, are colored with orange Sharpie.

The sentiment is from Me And My Big Ideas

(liquidation at Michael's--love that!)

And there you have it, folks!

You have until Saturday, July 2nd at 

2AM Central time, to link up your creation to get 

entered into the giveaway this week. 

When uploading to online galleries 

please use code HIMCR255.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Saturday!

Well!

Let me say that so far, this year, 2016, is 

speeding up.

Annndddd...

I haven't kept up with some of my resolutions...

one meaning my blog.

But, I am not giving up!

This week's challenge over on

the Hiding In My Craft Room blog,

or heat embossing.

And this week's sponsor is

the ever awesome Sami Stamps!

The Design Team were given

the opportunity to pick an image

from Sami Stamps. 

I chose this adorable giraffe, with

the idea to make a birthday card

for my daughter's upcoming 6th

birthday!

          Here is my card:

I personally love this type challenge, 

aw geez---I love them all! lol

Perfect example to pull out my trusty

Cuttlebug and folders!

I used a WRMK folder (circle)

that I picked up at Winners near Christmas

for 3$$!! score!

(love a good deal!)

Papers are from my stash...

not sure which brand, sorry! eek!

The cute giraffe is colored with

Distress inks, and my trusty brush.

The embossed balloon stickers are 

from EK Success (at the dollar store!!)
