SO SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS MONTH!
Not only do we have our regular monthly mood board for you this month, we have some new things surrounding and to go with the mood board challenge. We are expanding! In case you didn't see yesterday on IG the new team was announced. Check out the Not 2 Shabby Instagram account to see the announcement. So now you will get even more inspiration each month for using your Not 2 Shabby products.
This month's board was so much fun to create, and has a summery color palette. I hope you have tons of fun with it and we will get to see lots of your entries!
My Cards this month!
I was on a roll creating the cards for July's blog post and used my favorite paper pad this month from the Monthly Paper Pad Club! I created 8 cards and used 4 sketches from a dear friend, Crystal. She runs a site on Facebook called Build Your Stash Holiday Cards. I asked her permission to also share the sketches here because several people have commented to me when I use them they aren't on FB and where can they get these sketches. So, beside each of my photos below you will also find each sketch used. I stuck pretty close to each one but may have changed up as well. Thanks for taking a look this month.
Denim & Daises

I created a variety of both Birthday ish cards and Anniversary cards with this collection. I love how our papers can be used for all kinds of cards!

Hello... your mood board this month is wonderfup. I love the addition of denim into the mix! I do have one question. When using the color board as our inspiration, how many of the five colors do we need to feature on our card? Thanks so much!
Teresa Russell
Hi Kathy, Thanks for your compliments I sure hope you play along either with the colors or the photo inspiration!
Jamie
Hi Kathy, I would say you can choose 2 colors to play with from the color pallet, use the colors and images as inspiration. Hope you'll join us!

Just received my Paper Pads, ephemera and SOM in the mail yesterday.... can't wait to get started... Teresa your cards are always so cute. I love using the BYSHC sketches ( usually turn them into 5x7 cards, so I have to redo measurements). Has the June winner been posted yet? I usually go back and congratulation them, but I haven't seen anything yet....
