Seaside Beach Huts

My card today features the picturesque Seaside Beach Huts from Just Inklined! Sorry, I know it is none of my business but I cannot help but wonder what is going on behind the closed doors!

Eat Your Carrots

Eat Your Carrots from Paper Pretties makes me laugh, especially when you see what it says inside! 

Happy Bark•Day

My card today is the result of playtime using two of the clear stamps from Birthday Buddies and washi tape! It is also my first time using sequins on a card!

Birthday Barrow

It's Monday, time for a new Squigglefly Challenge to begin. This week Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals are the hosts and the challenge is Just Around the Corner - make a card with rounded corners! For my card I used the adorable Birthday Barrow by Squigglefly's talented Diane Carubia. So think about rounding your corners and playing along. Just remember to be eligible to win, you need to use a Squigglefly image and if you don't have one, try a freebie!

Surfin' Santa

If you've been following my blog for long, you know that I am a huge, huge Santa fan and I do handstands trying to let him know each Christmas what a good kid I've been so he leaves me loads of presents.  I noted yesterday that Christmas is a mere seven months away so I thought it would be a good time to check in with the dear man. With the help of my much older brother's 'Romper Room Magic Mirror' that he left behind when he started college, I was able to locate Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' robust Surfin' Santa as he was preparing to do a little surfing in the Arctic Ocean while his beloved team of reindeer played their games! As you might guess, Santa waved at me and I heard him exclaim as he paddled into the surf,  "DAMN the water's cold!"

Meadow Poppy

My card today features the beautiful Meadow Poppy from Just Inklined! Meadow Poppy is one of several images of poppies available at Just Inklined!

You Float My Boat

Today's card is the result of entertaining myself with Avery Elle's Knotty Set and the Hero Arts Zig Zag background stamp! I love just playing and actually being pleased with the results!

Llama Mama

Today's card features Llama Mama from Squigglefly's incredibly talented Lynne Stansbery! Her attention to detail and shading leaves little guess work for the crafter! I wish this image would have been available when my daughters were teenagers, I could have used it a couple hundred times!

Baseball and Bat Shaped Card Set

Welcome to a new {Pin}Spirational Challenge! The Stamp Chef and the Cutting Cafe are this week's sponsors! For my card, I used the Baseball and Bat Shaped Card Set from the Cutting Cafe!  For more inspiration and all the details, please visit {Pin}spirational Challenge!

A Man And His Grill

Welcome to a new Squigglefly Challenge! This week it is Holley's Hobbyists turn to Man Up, make a card suitable for father, grandpa, or hubby! Since my father, grandfathers and husband are all deceased, I opted for a masculine card for a special birthday featuring A Man And His Grill from Squigglefly's outstanding artist Lynne Stansbery! We'd love to have you play along but remember to be eligible to win you must use a Squigglefly image. If you don't have one, try a freebie!

Martini Bianca

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps' very own Martini Bianca's mother always told her that one day she would grow up and be the toast of the town!  I could be wrong, but I don't think that's what mother had in mind! Nevertheless, here she is in all her glory basking in a sea of Retro Rubics backing paper for your enjoyment!

BBQ

If you enjoy grilling but you're tired of running out of gas before the meat is done or constantly struggling to get the charcoal to light, try BBQ available at Just Inklined! Money back guaranteed if BBQ fails to burn your food to a crisp every time!

Ladybugs 2 Love

Today's card features Ladybugs 2 Love from The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Bernard! Somehow, I can't resist a ladybug!
