TGIF Challenge - 125: Wherever You Go...

I LOVE to travel.  I love seeing new things, meeting new people, learning about new cultures, etc, etc.  So this week's challenge is an interesting one...

It's all about TRAVEL this week!  So fun!  Now...technically the challenge is about modes of transportation.  But for me...traveling is all about you attitude.  And these challenges are suppose to be inspiration for you to get creative.  :-)  So...I did.  Hee.  See...when I travel I love to talk to locals of wherever I am... and some people think I ask them too many questions.  But truly...I'm so interested in how things "work" wherever I am...I just want to know it all!  I truly travel with my heart.  And leave a part of my heart there.  So...that was where I went with this challenge...

(Plus...I am a sunshine girl and much prefer being somewhere sunny and warm.)  

The sentiment on this card: "Wherever you go, GO with all your heart" is truly what I try to live by when I travel.  This world is a big amazing place and I love seeing it!  

Colors: Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo yardsticks

Stamps: Wherever You Go

Tools: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Sparkle Embossing Folder, 1 1/2" Circle Punch

Accessories: Linen Thread, Delicate White Doilies, Rhinestones

What do you think?  HOW do you travel?  I can't wait to see what you do with this challenge! 

***TIP*** To get this two-toned image on the sunburst stamp, I first inked up with my lightest color--Daffodil Delight.  Then I just lightly tapped just the edges of the stamp into my next color ink--Calypso Coral.  Easy peasy.  :-) 

Head on over to the blog: TGIF CHALLENGES to play along!  I want to see what inspires YOU about traveling!!!!

Just have a quick card to share with you today.  It's basically just some die cut shapes (who else uses the Big Shot daily?!  I'm sure I'm not the only one!!) with one little stamp.  Super quick and easy to put together....but I think it still packs a fun "WOW" for the recipient. 

Colors: Soft Sky, Basic Black, Old Olive, Gold

Cardstock/Papers: Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Merry Music & Merry Little Christmas Designer Paper, Gold Foil, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper

It's so fun!  And that gold foil...is just stunning!  :-)

TGIF Challenge - 121: Girly Hello!

Well I LOVE this challenge this week!  (Do I say that every week?!  Ooops....I just really think they are so much fun!!!)  But check this one out...

A GIRLY challenge?!  Well how fun and FABULOUS is that?!   Fun fact about me...I grew up with all brothers...just 3 boys and me.  Well fast forward to when I get married and we have kids...we have three girls!  Haha.  So I grew up not so much a lover of girly things.  However...now...I'm all "girlied" in and I love it!  :-)

I mean seriously...just look how cute my kids are.  :-)

They are a blast.  But back to the card...it kinda morphed from what I originally thought about doing.  But I LOVE pink, so of course it had to be all about the pink for me!  :-) 

Colors: Pool Party, Melon Mambo, Powder Pink, Basic Black

Cardstock/Papers: Pool Party, Watercolor Paper, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper

Stamps: Pop of Paradis

Tools: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Big Shot, Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Fluttering Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

Accessories: Black Metallic Thread, Delicate White Doily, Rhinestones, Pick a Pattern Washi Tape, Basic Black Baker's Twine, Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon

I don't really like how this card photographed.  But...suffice it to say that this card is glittery, pink-y, and a little delicate to boot.

I wanted a big blurt of glitter, so that's what I did--just blurted glitter out of my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and swooshed it around.  That part is what I don't like with the photography of this card. But it's so sparkly in real life.   :-) 

 

I hope you enjoy this card!  And I REALLY hope you participate!!!  Check out the TGIF CHALLENGE BLOG and play along!!!! 

Thanks so much for visiting me!
