**CREATE IT 3 WAYS IG CARD HOP** August - Congratulations

Hi everyone!  I’m participating in an Instagram hop today called Create It 3 Ways!  Hosted by the lovely @amritapettus, this fun hop will take place the third Saturday of every month!  Super fun.  The theme for June is Congratulations!  I wanted to use a congratulations die, but I figured this Diamond Press congrats die was close enough.  I decided to double down and also use the same paper pad and ephemera and stickers, from the Bo Bunny Brighton (hello, Bridgerton!) line.

I am SO NOT a stickers person but they kinda work, don't they?

I really love how this one turned out.

Just a few challenges for this card:

• Love Those Pretty Papers - Anything with Patterned Paper Goes 1/3

Pretty sure this is my favorite of the three.  Something about the vintage paper and the pearls and the butterflies, I just love it.

A few challenges for this one:

• Mirtillamente - #34 Anything Goes 4/5

Last one.  IDK the paper is so busy but I feel like it's missing something?

And a few challenges for this one:

• Make My Monday - #232 Something Metallic 1/3

**SUMMER SOIREE IG CARD HOP** Week 9 Road Trip/Summer Celebrations!!

Welcome to our Summer Soiree Cardmaking Hop, hosted by @createwithkas.  For week 9, we're showcasing either Road Trips or Summer Celebrations!  If this inspires you, please use the hashtag #summersoireecardmakinghop2024 in your posts so we can see your creations!

I have several stamps of a camper, but I couldn't find any of them, so I decided to make an ice cream truck card, because who doesn't love ice cream?  I know I celebrate a good ice cream bar everytime I have one 😂. And since the ice cream truck drives around on a ROAD, it fits the theme, right?  Right?

Cocoa, Snowmen and Good Intentions

Well.  I really had great intentions for the Spring Into Christmas BYSHC Linky Party, but you know, life and lack of sleep and two very demanding toddlers got in the way!  They didn't sleep well this week and I am so exhausted.  So my plans to make a card for every day of the hop just didn't happen.

I took the girls outside to play today which was a huge mistake because after the taste of spring we had, it was cold AF.  So we came inside, made hot cocoa, then they dumped their ball pit out approximately ten times and while they dumped it and half picked it up, I made this card.

Just a few challenges:

• Spring Into Christmas BYSHC Linky Party
• Rudolph Days - Anything Christmas Goes
• DLArt Linky Party
• A Perfect Time To Craft - #4 Anything Goes
• Word Art Wednesday - #644 Anything Goes 2/5

Thanks so much for looking and happy caffeinated Christmas crafting!  Laters!!

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop hosted by @armenscraftroom, @avedamontedesigns, @bkeeleycrafts, @hilarygreek, @createwithkas and @touchofmagik.  Stashbusters post 3-6 creative paper projects every other Tuesday.  Our goal is to use the items we already own to create between 81-162 projects in 2024.

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  This was perfect for me as I’m going to be needing a few graduation cards coming up, but I did only get one made so far.  

So I wrote my challenge details down wrong in my planner and this was actually the first card that I made for this hop, only I didn't use a card sketch 😂.  So I'm using it as a bonus card!

Just a few challenges for this card:

• A Perfect Time To Craft - #4 Anything Goes
• Unicorn Challenge - #97 Use Dies
• Colorful Options - Pastel
• Try It On Tuesday - Rainbow Colors
• Crafty Catz - #669 Anything Goes 2/5

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  I think that love is something we should always celebrate!!

Normally I put all my cards in one post but I’m changing things up.  I used the current month's sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and this is their retro sketch #155.
