Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - July

Happy Sunday!! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!! It's been raining here pretty much all weekend, which has put a damper on fireworks activity. I squeezed in a little time in my craft room to make a tag to play along with Tim's 12 Tags of 2016 Challenge. I'm 7-7 so far and even early this month :)

You can find the instructions for the tag HERE. I had to improvise quite a bit (as usual :) The stamp is from Tim's Urban Chic stamp set. This did give me the chance to use my Distress Glaze for the first time. I used Remnant Rubs for the stars.

I am entering this in Tim's 12 Tags Challenge.

To all my friends in the USA, I hope you have a safe and happy Independence Day!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)

DL.ART July Linky - Anything Goes

Happy Friday!! I can't believe it's the first day of July. My gosh, time flies. A new month means it's time for a new monthly linky at DL.ART. As always, the theme is Anything Goes. If you use the code l01210, you'll receive 10% off your order at DL.ART.

For my cards, I used paper from Dovecraft's Floral Muse stack. The Eiffel Tower is from LaLa Land. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Tucked under the flowers are Elizabeth Craft Curly Leaves, Sue Wilson Mosiac Leaves and a Memory Box Flourish. The butterflies are Fiskars and Marvy Uchida punches.

The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Primrose from the 2016 Spring Bundle. The banner is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business) and the sentiment is from My Creative Time.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your project!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

I'm still working on capturing a hummingbird. They are so much easier to snap when they are stationary ;)

Eastern Bluebirds might be my favorite birds to photograph.

I saw this beautiful butterfly fluttering around the Mimosa tree so I snapped a few pics. It wasn't until I was scrolling through the pictures that I noticed...

...it's missing half it's lower body!! Thankfully, it didn't seem to have any trouble flying or enjoying the blooms :) Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Happy July :)

Celebrate Love

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful week!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you using several Die-Versions dies. If you use the code lisa15, you'll get 15% off your regular price Die-Versions order.

I actually made these cards months ago but haven't had a chance to post them yet. I know the papers are Prima but I'm not sure which stack I used.

I started by stitching the bottom layer to the heavyweight white cardstock. A Whispers Loopy Lace die (not currently in stock) was tucked under the first torn layer, along with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The doily is a Whispers Ring of Hearts die. The button on the ribbon is a Wee Petites Button die (not currently in stock). The sentiment is a Compliments Everyday Love die. I cut it twice for a shadow effect.

The butterfly is a Whispers Pretty Wings die it was cut three times for dimension. The sentiment is a Celebrate Sweet Wordlet die.
