Its hard to believe that July is coming to an end already!   Summer always just flies by!  This week the theme at the Outlawz, Twisted Thursday Challenge is, Anything Goes, with the twist being...Anything Goes!  The last week of the month is always a double Anything Goes!  So anything works and we would love to see your creations!  Come join us!

I used this image by Anne Fenton, and for the first time I tried the Zig Clean Brush watercolors!  They are a bit challenging to work with, but I love the vibrancy of the colors, so I will keep practicing!

The inside is a sentiment and more butterflies!

I hope you find time to join us at the Twisted Thursday Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Its summer and everyone loves the water when its hot!   The Twisted Thursday Challenge at the Outlawz is Anything Goes, with the twist being...A Water Theme!

I used this delightful image from Sassy 

Cheryl called Lazy Afternoon!  I remember doing this when I was a kid, using those big black inner tubes from truck tires!   I guess they are hard to find now!  What fun we used to have with these!

I colored this image with my Copic Pens, and then went over the water with my glitter nail polish, and I even went over the tube with black glitter nail polish.  I added some Stickles to Sally's hair bow and her swim suit!  I punched a sun and popped a cloud over it, that has some chalk on it to give it some shading.  I added a sentiment that I had.

Inside I added another sentiment and kept it simple!

I have another new card to share today.   This one is for the Progressive Freebie Challenge over at the Outlawz!  The sponsor this month was Jen Leeflang, who donated this cute image!  Thanks, Jen!

I colored the image with Polychromos Pencils.  I added a stamped sentiment and also a die cut sentiment on the side, and some die cut grass, along with a couple of dragonflies. 

Inside I just added some die cut label shapes and a big dragonfly!

I have a card to share today that is from Deedee's Digis, monthly challenge!  It is a Progressive challenge, so once you join and enter a card, you get the next month's digi for free!  You get so much...images and sentiments!  The images are always so cute!  Visit Deedee's Digis for all the details!

I used the two little boy and girl bear images to make a Gatefold card.  I colored the images with Polychromos pencils, cut them out and mounted them on Wobblers.  I added some flower stickers I had and a border trim.  I put a dot of Stickles in the centers of the flowers and also on the ice cream.

Partially opened card.

Inside I added the sentiment and some more flowers, and some of the paper I used on the outside!

This Thursday at the Twisted Thursday Challenge at the Outlawz, the theme is Anything goes, with the optional twist being...Step Cards!  Our sponsor this month is Sami Stamps, and I used this image called Fancy with My Poodles!

I made the step card base and added the image the I colored with Copic Pens and paper pieced the dress and boots.   I added some coordinating paper in green to the sides, and put Stickles on the dog leashes to make them sparkle.  I also added a strip of paper with the Eiffel Tower on it, because these are French Poodles!  :)

Inside I used more of the same paper and added a sentiment that seemed appropriate!

I hope you can join us in the challenge and do take the time to visit Sami Stamps to see all of their wonderful images!
