Theme: Book Covers
Since it’s back to school time, we thought we’d use book covers for our inspiration. We could use the color scheme, sketch layout, idea theme, designs on the cover, anything about the cover that we could show in our piece. For mine, I was inspired by the layout and the way the photos on the cover were matted. I chose to reverse the black and white colors and keep the original sketch.
Here’s my book cover:
I've owned this book for a long time! Glad I've found a new use for it..lol
Here’s how I used the sketch and color scheme of this cover:

Stamp images used: Bliss, Punch Art 1, Silhouette Flowers, Birthday Wishes Colors: Copics/Triart, white gel pen (sakaura) Papers: 110# white cs, 65 # black cs Extras: tiny white bling
TIP: I bought a flip flop decoration that was triple lines of tiny white bling (which you can color with your copics btw) marked wayyy down. Be on the look out for these shoe decorations as summer closes; you can pick them up for about 25-75 cents and they last a long time…lol

PamelaTheme:FCD Sketch 021
Our blog hop for July is focusing on FCD Sketch 021!
Did you know that all of the FCD sketches are located here?
Here’s the sketch, and I’ve got an extra special guest on my blog today too!
Here’s what I did with it!
This is a BRAND new digital design by Boni Boutelle-Jones-Fisherman Fin. I just LOVE it, and had to get it ready to release for the blog hop just so I could do this card…lol…
This set comes with 17 phrases!! Many of them styled so you can use a phrase as I did, as fishing line! While I was working on this blog post, Boni was busy adding images to this set! There is now a fishy, container of worms, bucket of brew, and 2 lures!! GO BONI!
Rubber stamps used: Create a Scene (grasses), Thinking of You (fish, horsefly, and cat tails), bubbles
Good things come to those who Bait! card by Pamela Clark
and now I want to share with you a card my dd, Katie, made for the hop! She’s my special guest today…I love it when my girlies craft with me! grin…..
She also used an image by Boni Boutelle-Jones, called Cole Minor. Isn’t he CUTE!!!
Rubber images used: Something fishy this way comes (phrase)
Cole Minor card by Katie Clark
Coloring for both cards was done with Copics/Triart markers. Highlites done with Sakura white gel pen.

It’s finally summer, and that means road trips! Road trips are all about the tunes, right? So this months’ challenge focuses on the music we love as we fly down the road!! Oops, did I say fly?
