My American Hero

Today at Catch the Bug is New Release and it's Army Kidlet  and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I made this as a simple gate fold card. This is a wonderful image for the holidays coming up later in the month and in July. I always think that we need to support our military.

I will not down the chimney go

Today is the start of a new challenge at Catch the Bug, and being the first Saturday of the month it's an Anything Goes Challenge.  For my card, I used Cute Reindeer Peeker and a sentiment from TLC, Create. I wanted to make at least two Christmas cards a month so I wouldn't have such a push at the end of the year, but I haven't been meeting my goal so I tried to start the month off right.  I like non-traditional colors so I went with the blue and brown.

Happy Birthday Big Guy

I know that I mentioned that I had a few male birthdays coming up, and here is a card that I made special for my step-son who has a German Shepherd who is his baby.  This image is from Bugaboo, Kidz boy puppy and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  The Patterned Paper was just a scrap that I had left so I will use this as a "left overs" for the little red wagon challenge.

Hey there, Pumpkin

There is a new release of quite a few new Halloween sets today and then some baby sets tomorrow at Imagine That Digistamp.  My card is made using the set Ellie's Pumpkin Costume.  I made it as a center step card which is one of my favorite layouts.  I added some leaves that I cut out on the bottom.  Remember that if you are purchasing sets you can use my discount code which is located on my side bar.
