August is almost over!

 It's high time I post my card for the August Outlawz Freebie/Progressive Challenge.

supplied a fun image, New Car, for everyone to play with this month.

 

It's that time of year when the kids are heading back to school.

My grandson already has his parking permit. It will be his first year driving himself to school.  The girls next door will be piling as much as possible in their cars to head off to college.  

With that in mind, I made this card:

I flipped the image so the steering wheel was on the correct side for here in the US.  Then I printed the car in green and brown, fussy cut and paper pieced, adding clear windshields, headlights, a front plate with Good Luck Dazzles, and coloring the tires.  The stamp on the banner and the papers are from CTMH.  
 

 

 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge & CTMH Card Class 3/10

Oh, to be one again!

 

We had an exhausting day, yesterday, celebrating my granddaughter's birthday.  Not that we did all that much.  It's more like we ate way too much!  But that's what always seems to happen when you go to a buffet.

 I don't know why my granddaughter never brings Laila's stroller along when we have an outing.  She's getting way too heavy to carry for very long.  She's not going to fit in a shopping cart much longer, either!

Check out the pink glitter shoes on that babe! 

By the time I got home the Atlantic Hearts Sketch #98 for this week had been posted.  With CTMH dottie paper still on the table from making my Mojo Monday card, I got to work creating this card

- 

which I'm entering in the AHSC.

This afternoon I went to Joyce's CTMH card workshop.  Today we made  4 cards featuring the current Stamp of the Month set.  It's hard to believe it's been almost 3 months since I've seen most of my creative gal pals.  It was wonderful to see them again. 

These are the cards I made:

If you like blog hops and are looking for some great ideas,

Joyce sponsor's a monthly CTMH Blog Hop which you can find right HERE.  And if you are looking for more ideas using the

 CTMH March Stamp of the Month, check out this blog hop or this blog hop.  And I even found a CTMH paper blog hop using the hopscotch paper.  So you can hop until you drop.

 

Going Fishing

I should be on my way to York, PA by now for the Heirloom's Rubber Stamping and Paper Arts Festival there.    The show is open Saturday and Sunday.   You'll find me in the Close to My Heart booth with Joyce, Betty, and Laurie.  I'll be at my usual station, the make and take table.   Please stop by and say hi!

I set up a few automatic blog posts for while I am away.  

Here's a Good Luck card using a cute digital image is from Whimsy Stamps. 

A layer of CTMH liquid glass over the fish bowl gives it that shine.
