This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 539 - Latch Card and today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENG E# 330 - Stars and Stripes. While we do celebrate July 4th I do not typically give out cards for that holiday so I have gone with a baby boy card today using some dp that needed some love and a QK die set I have not used in years. The suit is popped up on dimensionals. I used the SU Star punches layered for more stability then punched holes for the hemp to run through it. 
This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 500 - Happy Anniversary where we were to go to our very 1st upload and CASE it. Well I am not sure if there has been much improvement over the years of not especially since I have been out of practice but I did want to play along this week. So here is a link to my 1st upload NEW LITTLE SOMEONE. This is also for Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 509, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 499 - Saffron Pumpkin Meadows, and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 502 - Emossing Vellum Revisited.
This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER CHALLENGE # 219 - Coffeestamper. I chose to CASE her BABY MAKES THREE. I changed the colors and layout and left off the dry embossing.
This is for today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 114 - Inspiration. 
This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 304. I used the colors from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 294 - Breezy Blushing Cakes and the Argyle embossing folder from Cuttlebug is for Tuesday's dessert and was embossed after inking the negative side with baja breeze ink on crumb cake cs.
This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 294 - Breezy Blushing Cake. It has taken me longer to get a good picture then it did to make this, ggrrr. I do not know why my coloring looks orange but it really is pink, trust me. I used copics 
R11, R20, R21, BG000, BG72, BG75, E41, E42 & E43 for coloring then cut out the umbrella and adhered it to the pink gingham dp that is matted on blushing bride 3X3 gift card.
This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER # 16 - patsmethers. I chose to CASE her A CASE OF THE GIGGLES. I changed the colors, layout and left off the buttons. I printed the images from the digital line available at TREEHOUSE STAMPS. The baby image is from Stars and Showers and the star image is from Simply Star Sentiments. I made 2 slits in the star sentiment to slide the ribbon through. My bow is for Saturday's OUR CREATIVE CORNER CHALLENGE - Bows. My base pink panel was embossed with Cuttlebug Stars.
The inside was completed with star images in various sizes and placement then colored with copics.
This is for today's TREEHOUSE THURSDAY CHALLENGE # 039 - Sketch. This sketch was designed by Marie Levine, one of the great talented ladies on the Treehouse Stamps design team. I used a recently released digital set called Stars and Showers from TREEHOUSE STAMPS - Digital Line. This baby is just soo precious to me. I used GIMP to manipulate my digital images by having the digital design paper from Spring I Collection of Digital paper show inside of the star image. I printed this on photo paper for a shine then trimmed around the star and adhered it to the bluegreen cs that is a close match to the dp. Not such a close match on camera but it really is IRL. My image was colored with copics 
BG10, BG11, BG13, E50, E51, RV11, RV21, & RV23 then matted on the bluegreen cs. I attached a star brad in the right upper corner for balance. Come on play along with this fun sketch this week. Just include THT039 in your keywords.
This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 261 - It's In The Pieces. I used my round tab punch for a diaper as shown in the display boards. I did not have any small gem clips and so I found the smallest diaper pins I had. I have to pick up some smaller ones. I love the diaper idea. Just too cute. WOW Merideth, those are fantastic. My dp is Provo Craft and although it looks blue it is really teal colored. My focal image is a digital image from Stars & Showers set that will be released this Thursday from TREEHOUSE STAMPS DIGITAL LINE. It is such a darling image I could not resist using it. I colored in the stars with my white jel pen so that when I sponged they would stay white. Then I sponged with sage shadow and bermuda bay although it looks green. I hope this is not going to be a backwards day. LOL. I colored my image with copics E50, E51, BG11, BG13, BG15, Y11, Y13, and Y15. Hope you like it.
This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 268 and Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 258 - Soft Perfect Plums. I am ashamed to admit how long I have had this set and NEVER even inked it up :-( bad stamper, bad stamper.. Well today was it's lucky day. I needed small images for panels 5 and 6 and these are perfect as well as the train image for the rectangle panel 4. All images were inked with graphite black then colored with copics. The sentiment in panel 6 was inked with perfect plum although it looks like black, such a dark color. Anyway, I am thinking of putting this in a frame with a baby's name on it for a baby shower gift. Hope whoever get's it will like it.
This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 259 - Frosted Windows. What a kewl technique Holly. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have been waiting for that perfect sketch or occassion to make a card to go with my NEW BABY BOY MILK CARTON full of goodies for a 1st time mom and today was the perfect occassion. I used my brand new Sugar Nellie Vintage Baby image and colored with copics. I trimmed the frame then punched the oval with Marvy Extra Giga Oval Scallop punch which fit perfectly around this adorable image. Is this little sleeping baby precious or what? I hope she likes the card and gift set I am making for her.
This is for today's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - Stretching the Limits with 3D. OHH thank you, thank you Dawn. I have been wanting to make one of these for yrs just did not have the courage. I love them. They are just tooo adorable. I have a co-worker who is expecting her 1st child soon and it is a boy so I thought this would be perfect to fill with pacifiers (aka blinkie's), teething tabs, booties and such. I hope she does not mind the ribbon and cord but I felt like it needed something. I love this Paper Studio dp but next I will for sure use CS and trim the dp to fit around it. I may have to make this over and do just that before I give it to her but for now here it is. I even have enough dp to make a gift card to go along with it or maybe a tag. WHoo Hoo wish I did not have to go to work so I could keep playing. Oh well it takes a job to keep up with my addiction. LOL.
This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 255, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Side Steppin, last Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 254 - Cut It Out and today's FLOURISHES TIMELESS TUESDAY CHALLENGE # 51 to be inspired by the letter "P". Well today's color challenge took care of that P to me stands for Pink and pink means girls. I broke out my Baby Love set from Flourshes and this is what I came up with but had to hurry and finish it as the phone rang with a plea for me to work ICU today, grrr. No extra time to really do it justice. I may redo this one.
