Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Friday Everyone!! I hope you all are having a good week but are ready for the weekend.  I know I am.
Wags n Whiskers is kicking it of with another challenge.  I am so honored to be this week's challenge host.  For the challenge I chose "Triple Play". Use Three of something. I can be three techniques, three stamps, three designer papers, three embossing folders, three ribbons or three of any type of embellishment.
As alway, you must use a WNW stamp on your card to be entered into the drawing for ONE Free Wags n Whiskers STAMP OF YOR CHOICE. If you don’t own any of these adorable stamps they are  available to download in digi format or as rubber stamps from here.  This challenge will last two weeks.

For my creation, I used  Ellie and Squeak one of the more recent releases. This is available as a stamp or digi. For my triple play, I used three designer papers and three buttons.  I created an easel card for a friend who just had a baby.  The elephant is so fun to paper piece. The sentiment is created using the Our Daily Bread Designs-Children of God.

Happy Thursday!  I hope everyone is having a good summer.  I know I am. Yesterday I spent the day traveling with my kids to meet a friend.  We had a blast!  We went swimming, played at the playground, went out for lunch and etc....  It was so hot but the perfect summer activity.  My girls were so happy!  I can't believe that it is August and school begins soon. 

Anywho...today it is time for another Divine Diva Inspiration challenge.  Lori sent each of us this photo to be inspired with:

When I saw this photo, I was not sure if the colors were red, yellow and blue or pink, yellow and blue.  So...I went with a rose or Melon Mamba color.  The dp I found in my stash reminded me of the flowers coloring the yellow tequila bottle.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday this week and the NEW Birthday Letter Seals from Whimsy stamps released last week.  
The yellow piece of dp is a scrap from my scrap bin, the melon mamba print is from my Basic Grey Green At Heart stack.

Happy Sunday Everyone!!  This is my second post of the day!  There is so much going on today in blogland with new releases and hops.  If you are here for the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog hop, please scroll down to the next post.

Today it is time for new digi releases at Whimsy as well as a new challenge for the month of August.  This month I am one of the dt members on the challenge team.  This month Whimsy has chosen the nice and easy challenge of ANYTHING GOES! Therefore, you can create what you like, whether it be a card, altered item, LO, bookmark, bag, etc. but remember that to qualify for entry into the prize draw, you must use a Whimsy Stamps image (rubber or digi).

The prize for this month's challenge will be 5 Digital Images of the winner's choice!

To enter our August challenge, please provide a DIRECT link to your new creation by Noon EST on August 31st using the InLinkz feature at the Whimsy blog.

Here is my take on this month's Whimsy challenge:

 I used the newest rubber stamp release,Jelly Bean from Whimsy Stamps illustrated by Crissy Armstrong.
an the Ticket sentiments designed by Ann Vento. Isn't Jellybean just darling.  A dear friend of mine just had a baby girl and I thought this would be perfect.  I used the Midnight Madness sketch for this week.  The dp is from Basic Grey Capella. I paired it up with Groovy Guava, Blush blossom and Kraft from SU.

Here is my creation using the Don't Worry release from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I just love the floral image and the butterfly in this set along with the awesome verses and sentiments.  I decided to go with a more elegant look on my creation using a lot of white and my Spellbinders Lotus borders dies.  The image is colored with copics.  The sky is sponged.  This card will be used for my Mom's Birthday. Mom loves flowers so I think she will enjoy this.
