July Progressive Challenges

Where did July go to? I can't believe we are almost to the end. And as usual I have waited until the last minute to do the progressive challenges that I usual do each month. So today I have cards for both of my progressive challenges.

So my first card uses the progressive image from Gerda Steiner called Strawberry Mouse and colored with Spectrum Noir markers. What a cutie. I paired him with a sentiment from Create with TLC and made a clean and simple card following the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch. The designer paper is from Bearly Mine and it's actually called Red Snowflakes but I thought it looked like strawberry blossoms so I used it with that in mind. I am entering these challenges:

• Gerda Steiner Progressive challenge: use Strawberry Mouse
• CAS(E) This Sketch: sketch
  
• Anything Goes with Create with TLC Element: use a Create with TLC element (sentiment)
• C.R.A.F.T. challenge: summer (one of my favorite parts of summer is strawberries)
• Addicted to Stamps and More: make your mark 
  

My second card today is for The Outlawz Progressive challenge. The digital stamp this month is from Anne Fenton from Anne's Cards 4 U. 

I made a note card with the cute dog image colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The image is die cut with MFT Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Squares. I followed the Sketch Saturday challenge which is to pick a sketch from the archive. The designer paper is from Imagine That Digis by Kris. The paw print is a die cut from Paper Smooches. I backed everything with black card stock.

I am entering these challenges: 

• The Outlawz Progressive challenge: use the stamp of the month
• Sketch Saturday: sketch from archive #301 
  
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Simon Says Wednesday: anything goes
• Crafty Sentiments Design: anything goes

That's it for today. I have one more card to finish and post by tomorrow. We'll see if that gits done. Hope your weekend has been awesome!
