We got word this week that the whole state of North Carolina must wear a mask when going out in public - for at least 3 more weeks. I feel like we'll never move onto Phase 3!!  UGH!!

Cut It Up Challenge #203 Summer Palette

At Cut It Up this week, the challenge is Summer Palette - Use the colors turquoise, yellow, hot pink, coral and bright green on your projects.

I made this awesome gable box by The Cutting Cafe and I used bright papers on it. For my stamped image and die cut, its by The Greetery and I fell in love with this stamp set called "Top Down Day". I filled this with salt water taffy (yum, my favorite!)

I would also like to add this to the following challenge:

I Like How You Roll

When I saw this unicycle set at Avery Elle last week, I had to get it.  Didn't everyone ride a unicycle down their street when they were a teenager?  I DID!!!  Ha ha  Yes I did and I loved it!!

When I saw this sketch at Atlantic Hearts, I immediately got out my new stamps and dies and went to work. I wasn't sure how it would look with the patterned paper, but I kinda like it now!

Congratulations

I found this Stampin Up hostess set recently on Ebay and I had to have it. It has 60 itty bitty stamps in the set with buildings, houses, cars, trees, sun, etc. It was fun making this cute wedding scene with my Oxide inks as its a 2-step stamp coloring set.

I paired it up with this sentiment from Unity Stamps and I wanted to add something else so I used these flip flop die cuts in the corner. I am sending this to a flamingo-loving friend in Florida.

You can find the challenge here. I can't wait to see what you create.

I'm also listing this in the following challenges:
