Thank you for joining me on this Month's Blog Hop. If you are coming from Michelle Jones's Blog Happy Hour, you are on the right track. When you are done Carol Loftus' Blog is your next stop.
For this month's artwork, I played with a masking technique. I sprayed Honey and Hollyhock reinkers with our spray bottles onto White Daisy Cardstock to create the rays of color. The sentiment was also stamped in Hollyhock. Such a happy little card!
Thanks for joining me today... now off to Carol's blog you go!

Color My Hear: Dare# 5 I'm So PROUD of you!
As you know, I have been crushing on artwork with RAINBOW color schemes.So you know I was SUPER happy when I saw this weeks Color Dare: Create Your Own Rainbow!
For my card, I used Barn Red, Autumn Terracotta, Sunflower, New England Ivy, Indian Corn Blue and Smokey plum.
I cut circles out of each of the colors and used like ink colors with the text stamp from D1412 Noted Backgrounds. I arranged the circles in ROYGBP order to create the dot background mounted on White Daisy Cardstock with a layer of Barn Red and Sunflower. The leaves are Cricut AP cuts as is the Flower. I ran the leaves through a crimp tool. The flower is also stamped with the text stamp. The sentiment is from C1464 Blue Ribbon and stamped in Barn Red on White Daisy Card stock.
Thank you once again to Color My Heart for the color dare.

Katie's 10th
The last 3 layouts I created with my FREE Studio J 5 pack were of my daughter's 10th Birthday Party.
One of the nice things about Studio J is access to retired kits. This is the Animal Crackers kit from a few years back. It has the perfect colors to complement these party layouts! If you have not tried Studio J yet, you need too. Follow this link, and try it. It will cost you nothing to play around, get a feel for it.

Mother's Day Hike
This is Layout 2 out of the FREE Studio J 5 pack I received for going to convention this year.
One of the things I love the most about Studio J is the ability to use large photos. When I scrap traditionally, ( with paper and adhesive) I normally only print 4x6 photos. Studio J helps me break out of that rut. Even with 2 large photos, I was able to include 9 photos in all on this LO.

Color My Heart: Dare #4
This is a first for me. I have been asked to be a guest designer. How cool is that? Thank you Sara Stone and Color My Heart for the opportunity.
Color My Heart dare #4 is to use Cranberry, Sky and Sunkiss Yellow. We also had the option of adding Moonstruck. My card is CASED from a card created by Ros Davidson.
The candles on this card are stamped with D1280 Spot On Background. I used Moonstruck ink on the Sky and Moonstuck candles and Cranberry on the Cranberry candle.
The sentiment is stamped in Moonstruck on Sky cardstock with a sentiment for the Art Philosophy collection.
Look... I even busted out some eyelet! 'Cause old school is so cool :)

Color My Heart: Dare #3
Dare #3 is up at Color My Heart. This weeks colors are Sorbet and Dutch Blue. I added a bit of Lilac Mist to the mix and came up with this card.
The branches and flowers are all cut with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.
I used this month's Stamp Of The Month: Life is Sweet for the bird cut from Dutch Blue card stock. I used a stamp set called Classmate Alphabet for the "follow your heart" border stamped in Lilac Mist. I tied off the whole card with a bit of Sorbet ribbon.

Color My Heart : Dare #2
Color My Heart Dare #2 up. We were asked to use Topiary, Pear, Lagoon and/or Moonstruck. At first I was going to chicken out and use 2 out of the 4, but then I decided to push myself and use ALL 4 colors. So glad I did!
Here is a close up of the stars and the stripes:

Tweet Wonderful You
So when I was making cards for the June SOTM blog hop, I created this card. I did not want to overload my post with too much artwork, so I saved this card for today!
I used CTMH's Lucy paper and a sentiment from this month's SOTM. To finish the card off, I added a ribbon detail and a CTMH pin clip. This card is off in the mail this week!

You Did It!
I made this graduation card today. My card was inspired by a Laura Bassen's card found in the Paper Creations Gallery Idol top 20 from last year.
I used CTMH Victory Paper cut into 2x2 squares and attached to one of our 6 x 6 card Kraft die cut cards. I cut the flap with the border detail off because I wanted to make this card as masculine as possible. I used our color ready cork letters for the sentiment.
