          Outdoor Fun


          Creative Knockout has a challenge this week called "outdoor fun" and this is my card I made for the challenge.  Dr. Digi is the sponsor of the challenge and I used one of their images called  BBQ Bill.
          The sentiment stamp is by Stampendous.  I thought it was a fun little summer card and great for a BBQ invitation.

          Creative Knockout Favourite Activity Challenge



          I had lots of fun with the challenge this week at Creative Knock Outs. Bugaboo is the sponsor of this "favourite activity" challenge.  

          The Bugaboo image that I used was Beach Frog Swimming.   I think he is so cute.  The sun stamp is by Drawn with Character.  I coloured them with Copics, added Diamond Glaze to the water droplets and sunglasses for texture and interest. 

          I thought this was a cute card for the end of the summer season. Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.   Remember to stop by the Creative Knock Outs  blog to see the cards the rest of the design team have made to inspire you.
