There's More Fish in the Sea...


The inside of the card says..."Don't worry, there's more fish in the sea" Inspired by dd who just dumped her bf...again...thought I would slip it under her door to encourage her...fish and corals are from LIAB, sketch from RAQ's sketch challenge

Sunset Card


This was something new for me. Dave & I were driving along the river last night, and the sun was just setting...it was a crisp, clear night, and the sunset was gorgeous...thats the moment of inspiration...started with a light blue card base...used pink and orange inks first, then took a stiff paintbrush (small artist one) and started with my chalks, which I almost never use. Started blending and mixing colors and am so impressed with the result...the shoreline was cut with the deckle edge scissors, the extra large one and popped up. There are some small trees cut from Christmas/Noel, and the birds are from LIAB. The sentiment is a stamp, and then embossed for some oomph (thanks to LarelynSartini on the cricut mb for that tip).

Thy Word...


This has to be one of my favorite cards that I've made...maybe because I thought of the overall content myself, instead of borrowing ideas from other cards. The lighthouse, wave, and seagull are from LIAB, trees from WW, house from C/N, and the sentiment is computer generated. The rocky shoreline was hand cut and inked for depth, and the little bushes are ms punch

Camping layout



This is a heritage layout...pics of me as a toddler, camping with my family. I wasn't sure that the cricut cuts worked with the heritage pics, but I think Im happy with it, now that its done. The chair and pail/shovel are from Life's A Beach, castle is from PDDU..."family" cut is from HA and the title fonts are Alphalicious and Opposites Attract.
