Squigglefly Challenge #22, SFC2213 Summer is Here!

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Are you ready for this week's challenge? Well,first let me tell you last week's winner.  We had a fun contest last week to use rounded corners on different places on your card.  The winner was JoAnn Sinclair who used an adorable image called Tennis Ball Anyone from artist Lynne Stansbery.

Please contact Holly at usyungs@gmail.com for your prize.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week's challenge is SFC2213 Summer is Here!

 Now that June has started, Summer is here, so our first challenge for summertime is called Summer is here! Pick what you love about summer and show it to us. We'd love to see you use a Squigglefly image, if you want to win the prize, it's required, but to play along, it's not necessary.

Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted this beautiful card using a great image from artist Pammie Lehto.  This image is called Fancy Cup with Rose.   I am seeing the roses in full bloom everywhere right now.  So Gorgeous.

 Jan Marshall  created this adorable card with colorful bath bubbles!   This image comes from artist Cheryl Alger and is called Ahoy Matey.  I just love the rubber ducky on this pirate hat.  How adorable.

 

Elizabeth Hart designed a lovely scenic card using an image from artist Cheryl Alger called Noahs Tire Swing. I just love the way she sewed the sentiment on it.  You Make me Smile.  This card makes me smile, beautiful work Elizabeth!!

 

Charlene Mitchell used an stunning image called Venus Has Arrived. The  image is created by artist Fawn Palmer.  The cute saying "You still look like the Goddess Venus." is just perfect and if you want to be funny and sassy, you can then add the other sentiment inside your card, it says, "Weren't You Born the Same Year?"  HA!!  I just love that.  The image and both sentiments are just $3!

  

Darlene Pavlick created a gorgeously colored card using Buried Treasure.  This wonderful image is from Lynne Stansbery.  Don't you love those Flip Flops? Just perfect for summer time.  This great image also comes with a saying "Lucky is the person who has shells in their pockets and sand in their shoes."

Tammy Hair created a super cute card using a brand new image from artist Fawn Palmer called A Lap Dog.  I just love her coloring on this card.  Everyone's summer includes their beloved lap dogs.  Stunning work Tammy.

 

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Cheryl Alger.  This adorable image is called Noahs Big Flower.  He's looking bright and sunny, sure is ready for summertime.

Jan Marshall  created this wonderful card using Mikey Cat from artist Dawn Collins.  This image comes facing both directions, which she took advantage of using both images!  Perfect.  Lots of Dad's deserve a trophy, or even more so, a gorgeous handmade card like this on Father's Day.

Tammy Hair created a beautiful card and she made the image look just like a photo, I love that layout. This image comes from artist Lynne Stansbery and it's called A Man and His Grill. In addition to the cute saying she shows, it comes with 3 more sayings that are perfect for father's!  Stunning work Tammy.

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Dawn Collins.  This adorable image is called Deefur.  As everyone says, Dog is man's best friend, I know that goes for my dad.

For this week's challenge, SFC1813 It's a Monotone Kind of Day!

This week the challenge is to make a card using one color as your primary focus;  Pick whichever color you like.  Make a card using all blue items or how about a stunning card in all white?  make a card using all reds or even a card using all greens.....would be great if you also incorporate your image in the monotone type, but you can color your image as the one feature if you choose.  We of course always love a Squigglefly image, it's not required to play, but to be eligible for the prize, must be included.

Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted this beautiful card fold out card with an image called Blow Me a Kiss from artist Lynne Stansbery.  Don't you love all the Blues, that's perfect for the mono-tone theme.  Perfect for this week's challenge.

Jan Marshall  created this wonderful  card chosing pink as her monotone color.  She's using wonderful tones of pink and even colors her image in pinks.  Great work Jan!  This cute stamp is from artist Diane Carubia and is called Curlys Cupcake.

Elizabeth Hart designed a darling Mother's Day card using the sweetest brand new image from artist Lynne Stansbery.  How cute!  This image is called Blow Me a Kiss.  I love how she dusted her lace diecut with wonderful ink to make the shading match with her monotone theme card.  Lovely.

Charlene Mitchell used an stunning image called Butterfly Bear from artist Diane Carubia. Such beautiful shades of purple everywhere.  So cute that the butterflies on those banners match the image.  Wonderful work Charlene.

  

 Darlene Pavlick crafted this pretty in purple masterpiece using the cutest fairy.  That adorable digi-stamp comes from artist Diane Carubia and is called Fairy Wand.  Don't you love the wings?  I think they look like stained glass.  So many wonderful shades of the same color, I love it!!

Tammy Hair created a beautiful cream colored card and used an adorable dog from one of Squigglefly's newest artists, Dawn Collins.  This cute stamp is called Deefur Walking.  Be sure and check out the store as there are other images of this cute dog.  I really like the printed paper she chose!

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Diane Carubia.  This adorable image is called Window Bear.  Here I am using all browns, papers, diecuts, and even the copic marker colors for the image.
