For this challenge, I used Tabitha's Basics Brights digital paper pack, which you can find here. As many of you can probably relate, I'm a "pinner" and found some great parenting quotes to include on my layout. This challenge was also coupled with a quote challenge at Two Broke Girls Challenges - and will be linked up to Unity Stamp Co's "Friends with Flair" Friday.

Patterned paper (Crate Paper [background], Tabitha's Designs), white cardstock (The Paper Co), twine (Martha Stewart), brads (Making Memories and Joann's), flower jelly sticker (Me & My Big Ideas), "Family" buttons (Joann's), glue dots, distress ink (Tim Holtz - Tumbled Glass), stamp (Unity Stamp Co)

Here's a Christmas card to make you feel a bit cooler in hot July. I used Sweet Christmas Wishes from Unity Stamp Co, along with some cool red, white, and blue papers for both last week's Cocoa Creations challenge and 2 Broke Girls Challenge "Mini-Treats Card Challenge".

Patterned papers (Echo Park), cardstock (Bazzill & Crafters Companion), brads (Making Memories), Stickes (Platinum), markers (Spectrum Noir, Distress Ink (Tim Holtz - Tumbled Glass), ink (Memories, Inc), stamps (Unity Stamp Co)

 

Patterned papers, diecut stickers (Echo Park - Paradise Beach), bling alphabet stickers (Making Memories),
marker (American Crafts), washi tape (Pick Your Plum)

And here is my Cocoa Creations entry for this week - using washi tape. I decided to couple it with 2 Broke Girls' Word Challenge ("Sunkissed"). As you can see, I had some serious fussy cutting fun!

And guess what! The girls chose to go to the Prima Marketing outlet, instead of the waterpark today! Yes, they do enjoy shopping with their allowance money. They had a blast! It was so nice to shop leisurely (versus grabbing things frantically, before somebody else snagged them) and under a roof (it used to be held outside and wow, it's mighty hot here in July!)

So here are the girls at the front of the store... what you can't tell (I should have taken pictures while I shopped, I know, but I was distracted) is that there are several aisles of boxes. Those two you see in the back right are the $0.99 aisles. The girls were happy, they purchased quite a few pendants there (yes, manufactured by Prima!).

 

I love these paper dresses! I need to find myself one of these wire mannequins so I can build one!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog - hope you all have a crafty weekend!
