Will Trade Coffee For Gossip

I could not resist making a card with flamingos for the summer coffee lovers hop!  Now, is gossip still a word we use or is the current word networking?

Thanks for stopping by.

Chillin

Chillaxin by the  beach on vacation.  Is there anything better than putting your feet in the sand and enjoying the sun?  Well,  maybe  getting an iced beverage and having your friends join you!  Then you would be javaing a good day!!

This beach scene uses a STAMPlorations  stamp, stitched snow hills and word die.

Summer Coffee

s

I love this image by STAMPlorations.  If you like to color, this is an image for you!!  I was going to color all of the image but colored some  and put it aside.  Then it hit my bits and pieces bag where it sat  since the spring hop and then...and then...a card idea!!  Does this happen to you?

To break up the image, I used the COFFEE word die.  I cut another onein black to pull the word out a little.  Embossed the background, add the infamous black and white striped paper and I am in LOVE with this COFFEE card!

Vacation

AAH. vacation time.  For me it is traveling to a warm place to escape the Wisconsin winter.  A little sunshine and a whole lot of relaxing!

Time to read that book you have been meaning to read.  I thought it would be fun to have the sand hill look like the pages of the book that had been read.

Thanks for stopping by and if you are heading out on vacation...I am jealous!!

Bloomtangled

The flowers are in full bloom with color galore!  

A birthday card for my master gardener Aunt is just the ticket.  It is cute to see the flowers peeking out.

Have a great day!

Wishes For My Children

On to bigger surfaces!  A canvas has a lot of space, lets do a canvas.   After watching many videos ...it is time to spread the paint!

My children are mostly grown so I wanted to use retro colors and words that are wishes for their life.   We are a family that likes things with wheels!  The bike path  has love you spelled  out.  I have hoarded these metal daisies and thought this would be a great use for them.  The bike is a die cut and the words are chipboard.

This was a lot of fun to mnake and looks awesome hanging with the 12x12 pictures of the boys.

Happy Just Fishing

What is more fun than fishing?  Making a card where the fish do not have to be cleaned!

Using alcohol inks and a thick shimmer  paper, my hot air was blown through a straw and the ink feathered in such an awesome way!  When I saw the top blue ink feather I saw the fish swirling and jumping,   playing in the sun.

What perfect sentiments for a masculine card, inspire, just be you and be happy.

A closer look at the feathering of the alcohol ink.

Thanks for stopping by.
