Nautical Birthday

Hello blogging friends, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Today I have a card to share with you that I made using digital papers I printed from Nit-Wits (I know a funny name huh?) Coastal Collection that I purchased and downloaded.  There are some really neat things in this collection besides just paper.

I made this card following one of the sketches from a challenge on the Cricut message board.   I am thrilled with how it turned out.  I think card reminds me of Summer and vacationing on the coast.  We are planing a trip to Maine later this summer, so the challenge this week at Sentimental Sundays is "Summer" so I will enter this card there.

The life preserver was cut using the Life's a Beach cartridge and the sentiment is a Rubbernecker stamp.

I will also post this on the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge over at The Paper Players. 

Here are the choices.

So I used the top row  Twine-Blue-Birthday.

Come on over and at Paper Players you have July 4th.

Thanks for stopping by.

When life gives you lemons.....

Hello my blogging friends, hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Here is Arizona it is HOT it has been 103+ yuck!  Much to hot to go outside so I guess I can just stay in and craft so I made a card today following

the sketch/challenge at The House that Stamps Built - What if Wednesday

Here is the sketch to follow

Here is my card I made

The background paper is from the Best of K&Company stack.  I love the bright colors and thought it went well with the lemon theme.

The lemon and saying is stamped using a Repeat Impressions stamp.

I colored the lemon using my Copic markers then covered it with Crystal Lacquer.

Well you have till July 9th to get a card done so head over and join in.

And here is my card following the sketch.

The papers are all from the Graphic45 By the Sea paper stack.  This is my first and only Graphic 45 paper. but I am sure it won't be my last.  I love the patterns on the papers.
