AOCC13--June
 

This is where you will post cards for AOCC13 June. links to challenges will be in post #3 of the main thread if you need a mojo boost

I'm still running around behind the bus trying to figure out how to get ahead so I can climb aboard....lol....but I have a fun idea for this challenge....I've been playing around on Pinterest and ***wow*** there are lots of fun things there. So my challenge is to make a card inspired by something you find on Pinterest and if you can; share the inspiration piece....

If you aren't on Pinterest, I've added some fun things I found to inspire you. Can't wait to see what you come up with....

My first contributions for June.
This one is for a friend who is turning 60. Owl by must love cats - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
and this one for a friend who is turning 40. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=352874. Seems like all my friends are having milestone birthdays. My next one is next year so at least I get a little more breathing space.
This third one is just because I liked how the balloons turned out so decided to make one for my stash. http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=352874

Is it June already?! Well, I've been making cards, mostly for the upcoming VSN - this weekend!

I've only got 6 birthdays in June, but several friends with serious health issues that I'll send encouragement cards to as well as the 4 or so cards that I make for my S.S. class ladies. I also need one 50th anniversary card.

Here's my first June card made for the Mixability challenge. I really struggled with this one: Mix18 heart shapes

Oh gosh! I love Pinterest - spend way too much time there! After VSN is done, I'm sure I'll be able to make a card for this challenge.

The bus? Has it already gone by? I think I missed it! LOL!

LOL!!! well, you can stand on the corner with me then and wait for it to come back by....

I have been forgetting to link my cards here!

Here is Lattice Work a birthday card! yea! :)

Since stitching my last owl card Owl by must love cats - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers I have discovered another pattern which I prefer. I just love his huge eyes.
Here are 2 variations on the same pattern.

I mailed 11 cards today! Don't ask me how long it took to write and address all of those. Five for the card ministry and six personal cards: one for my friend in ICU, and five birthdays. I got to use some cards from VSN and some other recent challenges. Here are two that I had not linked here before:

Birthday � Melissa (VSN-H)
Summer Fairy with Hat

Get well � Terry (VSN-G)
Spring Scene

I managed to make one more card for VSN.

Water Mix

I haven't been on here in a while due to working on a long term project. Finally posted a card after a couple of months.
Eagle above the storm

great card Nancy!

I made a one-layer card for WT431. I love one-layers, but this one is definitely out of my comfort zone. I love a challenge!

Read the description to see the variety of occasions I might use this card for.

One-layer mix

A beautiful work of art Nancy. Did you make this for Terry L., "The Griz"?

I wish I had known Val or I would have. It is for a friend who is having a very difficult time. I am so sorry about Terry.

Just posted a card for a 6 year old birthday.
Gone Fishin'

Thanks, Sheri for fixing that link. I am very glad to have gotten the chance to participate in this challenge. I loved being a part of this..!!

Here is an anniversary card I needed for this month.

I even got the inside done, It is ready to mail. :)

I made a telescoping (or stacked) card for the You Can Do It challenge this week. I'll probably use it as a thank you card. I was able to use up more stuff from my pre-made and partially-made stash.

I have a bit of a thing about baby cards at the moment. Have a lot of ideas I'm just dying to stitch. No idea who this card is for but I'm sure it will come in handy... and before anyone asks I'm not broody or pregnant!!!!

Just uploaded a birthday card for my daughter for August.

Here is a sympathy card I need to get in the mail like a week ago! Have been at hospital 12 hours a day for a week until yesterday. Mom is now in rehab, but we have a long way to go. But finally had time to make a card. :)

I just posted one more for this month.

Friends

These two cards were made in May but I totally forgot to upload them, one is another Anniversary card and the other for a friends 60th birthday. I actually made two similar but forgot to take a photo before I posted it.
