I found another challenge blog this weekend and decided to play along. It's called Stampin for the weekend and the challenge was to use one of three 60's song titles for inspiration. Just the title, no words, which is a good thing for me since I didn't know any of them. I went with Time of the Season - Zombies. Since it's now the summer season I used this cute little penquin from Imaginisce and these bright Lime Ricky papers. Thanks for looking. Sorry to be so brief, gotta go to work.

Melanie at Hands, Head, and Heart is having a "Year of Flowers " blog hop using her stamp set. I love this set. I won a stamp set in a Stamp TV challenge, so this was the one I picked. I love it- did I say that already? lol Here is my card. I used the sketch from Stamps and Smiles . I cut the circle with a Nestabilities circle die. I stamped and cut out the flowers and leaves and some of them are mounted with pop dots for dimension. I did my coloring with Marvy markers. The paper is K & Co. Wild Saffron (which I scarfed for $2.49 at Michael's this weekend. It was clearanced for $4.99 and then they applied my 50% off coupon!) Thanks for looking. I'm...

It's really hot here today, so I've stayed in and worked on some cards for some challenges. First up is my card for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.
