Wanderlust

I LOVE to travel and hike, and I'm grateful to have a husband who shares the same passion. This simple card is great for any man in your life who loves to wander.  A card like this is easy to make using artwork found in a coffee table book. This page is from a book titled Be Still that was found at a local thrift store. Simply cut to size and stamp with a sentiment. I used a  Lost Coast Designs Travel Quote . The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is hosting a "For the Men" Challenge, a great theme since cards for men aren't sampled as much as those for women. Submit your creation by the end of August for your chance to win a prize.

Nothing makes me dream more of cooler days than when the temperature goes over 90 degrees. So, sit under your air conditioner and make a few Christmas cards! Here's one idea for you: It's a simple card to stamp using Lost Coast Design's American Gothic Christmas and Party Words , but it does take some time to color in the details: Visit the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity to submit your own Christmas in July creation for this month's Challenge.

This month's Fruit, Flower and Foliage Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is a great excuse to create some all-ocassion cards for last-minute hostess gifts. Here's one idea: I used the Pear Square stamp from Carmen's Veranda and the Grunge Border and Pieces of Calligraphy Stamps from Lost Coast Designs. Follow along to see how I made it: Cards like these come together rather quickly because you don't need to color anything! We'd love to see your stamped creation using elements of nature. Upload your card here by the end of the month for your chance to win a prize!

This month on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity we're hosting a No Body Here Challenge. We hope you'll join in the fun and create a card using only stamps that feature no body parts (arms, legs, faces, etc.). Here's my take: Follow along to see how I made this card.
