Just Beachy

Hi! I hope you are having a good day. I have made several projects with a beach theme lately. I must have the beach on my brain! I went to the beach in June and I guess I need some more time at the seashore. I made a beach themed tag this time using 2 techniques that Tim Holtz showed on his blog.

I stamped several seashells and fish on the background with Faded Jeans Distress ink. The die is Cattails from Spellbinders. The die cut from tag board is a Cheery Lynn die. I added centers to the tag board using the same die and cut from shimmer sheets, cream handmade paper and brown mulberry paper. At the bottom I added Mudd Puddles mini shells  and Champagne glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a blessed day!

Simon Says Monday Challenge:  Summer Fun

Snow Much Fun

Hi Everyone!  Do you have your Christmas cards almost finished? LOL!  I am happy to say mine are done. Now to get them addressed and sent! Here is a cute snowman from the Sparkle N Sprinkle  Snow One Like You stamp set 515 . He looks like he is having fun out there in the snow. The night "sky" is a piece of Shimmer Sheetz behind the window. The light reflection on it looks like the aurora borealis. The swirls on the card are from the Flourishes Two set 520. I used the newDiamond Dust glitter G1116 on the swirls, window and snowbank. Doesn't it sparkle beautifully? What gorgeous glitter to use on winter cards! For full instructions on my card, please click here. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season.

                              Here is a view of the card with the window closed.

Serena

Hi Everyone! It is wet and cold today -- 23 degrees lower than yesterday! What a jolt to the body! Anyway, I want to share a card I made that might put us in the mood for warmer weather. I used the new stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle called Serena. I just love that name. It goes so well with this beautiful mermaid. This stamp is also digital. I had so much fun making this card and using pretty glitters on her. Thanks for stopping by. Hope your day is a good one!
