You're Udderly Fantastic!!

Check out the latest sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Isn't it awesome?!!! So many possibilities, especially for using pattern paper...HOORAY!!

 I just got this adorable Over the Moon set and simply had to use it!! Actually, I stamped a full sheet of thick whisper white cardstock with these adorable cows then cut them out with my Scan N Cut. Simply add some quick coloring (I used both Stampin' Write Markers and Stampin' Blends) and you have a barn yard full of fun images to pop on a card!! Check out more wonderful samples from the rest of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge design team HERE.

Thank You Dear Friend

I forgot to share this with you last week, my card for our weekly Facebook challenges. The challenge was to create a thank you card using any of the In Colors. So are you shocked?!!!!! I USED PURPLE!!!!! Yes, that's the new Purple Posy. I put a drop of reinker on the opened lid of my stamp pad and watered it down before smearing it onto a piece of watercolor paper. Once it was dry, thanks to heating it up with the heat tool, I stamped the sentiment from last month's Paper Pumpkin stamp set. The birds are also from the stamp set, stamped and cut out.

so why not make a card in each color!!! Inside is the sentiment "Let's Celebrate You" because I am always in need of birthday cards. Now to see how I made this card, head on over to my Facebook page, Linda Lou Creates. I did a Facebook Live today to show you how. I also mentioned about a new online card class I'll be doing on Facebook July 10th. You're not gonna want to miss out on that fun evening!!
