When I saw that Beccy’s Place is the current sponsor of the Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge, I wanted to use one of Beccy’s images in the challenge, especially when I saw the color board. It is a perfect fit for the set Disco Fever! And the Outlawz challenge “twist” of friend reminded me that one of my good friends from high school loved all things Disco. So this is going to be my card for her this year when she turns the big 65! She’ll love all the wonderful details in this artwork, especially the "hangy-downy" parts to her arms since we both resemble that fact these days. Ha!

·   Digi- Beccy’s Place Digital Stamp (Disco Fever)

Outlawz Challenge- August 2022 Linky

Paper Funday– #44 ATG (w/Opt. Friendship)

I picked up this wonderful birthday digi recently because I like it, it is just $1.50 (US), and it reminds me of my teen years (you know… when disco was in!)  Some striped paper, plus the sheen of metallic-colored stars finished off the card, which didn’t even need a front sentiment. So fun!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Dr Digi House of Stamps (Birthday Cheese)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sparkly Star Stickers- Dollar Store

·   All other items from my stash.

Cute As A Button- August: CH #83 Anything Goes

STAMPlorations is a wonderful family-owned business, and I’ve enjoyed using their stamps, digis, and other products for several years. For this card a used a wonderful digi named “Rustic Birdhouse” that I printed on kraft cardstock, fussy-cut, then added a weathered woodgrain texture with markers and a white colored pencil. I used a few items from my stash, including a dusting of a wonderful product named “Flower Soft” to add snowy accents to the little house! (I love that it comes with its own “Home Sweet Home” sign above the door. Such great attention to detail!

I’m entering this card into several challenges, including Christmas Craft Creations “Winter Activities” (My mom became an avid birdwatcher in her later years. She had several birdhouses and feeders outside of her window at the nursing home and loved seeing the many birds- and the antics of the squirrels- that visited, especially in the winter months when food was scarce. She never wanted us to bring her treats. Instead, she’d ask for bird seed!)  

(An added note, I recently learned that STAMPlorations artist/owner Shery Russ was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer this past April. You can read about her journey and see some sweet family photos HERE. Shery is an amazing person who welcomes our support in several ways… including prayers!)  

Shery and her Family!
