Stampin' In Alaska

Hello and welcome to a new challenge with Meljen's Designs . This week we are challenging you to create a 30-minute card. Here's what I created in 30 minutes using " Fisher Moose " from the Meljen's Shop. This came together so quickly! A very clean and simple design with a hand drawn border and doodled corners.  The digital sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy designs called " Fishy Sayings ". Please stop by the blog and give Melissa and the design team a little love!  We hope that our creations inspire you to  join the fun this week.

Good morning and welcome to another fun challenge from the Meljen's Designs team!  This week's challenge is to use a charm on your Meljen's project. Here's what I've created using Melissa's new colored " Sand Castle " digital image: This card came together so easily by using one of Meljen's fun pre-colored image!  I enjoy coloring, but when I need a card quickly this is the perfect solution.  Be sure and check the Meljen shop for more colored digis.  The designer papers are from Cosmo Cricket Salt Air Mini Deck and the charm was in my stash.  The sentiment is a freebie from Create With TLC . A couple of things to keep in mind as you play along this week: MelJen digital images are required to participate You will have one week to upload your challenge card to the linky provided on the challenge blog. Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!  Please be sure to check out the inspiration provided by the rest of the MelJen Design Team ...

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week!  It has been in the 70's and sunny every day here in Anchorage.  We are enjoying every minute! Before I get to my post for the day I have to share some exciting news.  I received an email a few week's ago from the MelJen Design Team Coordinator asking if I was interested in joining the team.  Huh?!  Wow, what a surprise.  Of course, I responded immediately that I would love to play along with this talented team of ladies.  And today is my first challenge! If you aren't familiar with Melissa Jenkins' whimsical digital designs, you can check them out in her shop HERE .  Melissa is also having a Father's Day sale this weekend.  You can use this 25% discount coupon in the store as many times as you like until midnight June 16. Now, without further ado, this week's MelJen Designs Challenge theme is Dad, Daddy, Father . This challenge was perfectly timed for completing my Father's Day card.  ...

I wanted to share a card for this week's Meljen Designs Challenge for Mom's.  I colored this sweet Meljen digital image last week while I was traveling.  She is called Little Girl Bear Hugs and you can find her in the shop HERE . The image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil.  I added 3D paint to the flowers and skirt for slight dimension.  All designer papers are from the Basic Grey pb&j paper pad.  The digital sentiment is a perfect compliment for this image and is from Create With TLC . Finally, they layout of the card was provided by this week's Sketch Saturday challenge blog:

This week's Meljen Designs is "Round and Round " - to include circles on our card.  Here's what I came up with using MelJen's Mama Whale image: The sketch is from this week's Sketch Saturday #254 challenge: The background panel for the card was created by sponging the negative of several Spellbinder circle dies.  This was the challenge for this week's Splitcoast Stampers Mix-Ability challenge.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil.
