Just Us Girls Photo Week

My last week to play along with the Just Us Girls team as their guest, it has been so fun.

 This weeks challenge to a photo inspiration challenge.

 I sat and looked at the photo for awhile and then decided the first thing that caught my eye was the orange chairs, then the touch of blue, then all of the white.  

I had this adorable chair stamp from Gourmet Rubber Stamps plus the sentiment stamp and the word block stamp.  I went with a very easy and quick way to color the chair, with some Distress Stains for a watercolor look.  The little group of flowers is a stamp from Printworks also colored with a watercolor style.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Just Us Girls team created to go along with the photo and take some time to play along.

Comfort - Pull up a chair and get your coffee cup

Some fun projects to share...

 I used this amazing chair stamp by Gourmet Stamps and the color combination at The Play Date Cafe.  The little red square border is a die from My Favorite Things. I cut extras of these and they are sitting on my desk. I seem to be reaching for them for so many projects!

 The sentiment is also from Gourmet Stamps. I love this little combination.

 Isn't this The Play Date Cafe combo amazing! I want to use it over and over.

 Now for my card for Card Positioning Systems blog with My Favorite Things as our sponsor. 

 The girl stamp and the hexagons shapes are die from My Favorite Things.

Here is the CPS sketch.

Latte's and the Beach

First up, I wanted to use the retro sketch for this week. 

 One of my most recent purchases was some Gourmet Rubber Stamps.  I pulled out this adorable little coffee cup and started in.  It was fun to make my little tag accent have a kitchen look to it with the red gingham paper in the tiny squares.

 I used a Sizzix embossing folder with a honeycomb pattern on the red cardstock.  I have purchased a cup of coffee that looked just like this with that foam heart on the top so it was so fun to color this one. 

 Here is their cute sketch. 

 Now, for our "beach" theme, my card using the Card Positioning Systems sketch for this week.  On my last lss visit, I picked up a bunch of Authentique paper from this great collection. 

 The postcard image is part of one of the pieces of patterned paper.  I added the little sticker border with some Liquid Pearls.

 Here is the CPS sketch that I followed.
AND...some photos to share.

 Guess what we were doing this last Sunday afternoon on a wonderful summer day?  Yep, we opened a new big bottle of bubble soap.

 His big sister usually makes the bubbles and he usually chases them. This year he got control of the wand!

How does it get any cuter!!!!
