Hey There, Beach Baby!

Having just returned from Florida,

I couldn't resist using this hilarious image from

 

The Royal Castle Shoppe!

 

 

It's one of my favorite rubber stamps from

Art Impressions

"Beach Booty Set"

It comes complete with both "halves" of this bathing beauty,

along with the Action Wobble Spring you need to make her either madly waving her arm in the air,

or (as some may have it) wiggle her tushie on the backside of the card front!

Either way, it's bound to get a laugh!

 

The girls back in Cape Canaveral will get a kick out of this!

 

 

So, here's to all the gals and all the laughs we had back at the beach!

Oh, how I miss it already.

 

Papers: Bella Blvd,

Catch me if I fall...

This little guy appears to have a nice, soft place to land!

The leaves were colored with Copics and fussy-cut so they could pop up off the card.  Not an easy task. 

I am now appreciating the girls efforts who have been

cutting out these little leaves for their projects!

 

 

 

I actually stamped one of the House Mouse images (Fall Float) twice in order to have the extra leaves for the "landing pad".

 

 

With some curled edges, they really appear to be FLOATING on the page!

This is definitely one of my fall favorites!

 

 

I will be entering this card at

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge (Autumn Leaves)

Stampendous September Challenge  (Fall Fun)

Sew many projects....-

sew little time!

Seems I go from nothing to do and bored, to "when am I going to fit all this in?!"  But now that the Summer is in full swing here in Arizona, there's nothing to do outside but watch the catcus sweat in the heat!

I was recently "gifted" some luscious little Doodlebug kits, and am in the process of putting some projects together.

Here's my little card I want to send to a friend who really needs to go on a shopping spree with me. 

The stamping on the paper doily was easy and fun! I simply cut out a circle that fit inside the center of the doily, and used that to mask the outside.  Since these are somewhat "waxy", they also tend to not take the ink very well. So after stamping my image, I clear heat-embossed it to insure it doesn't smear. It made the image shine a bit and has the appearance of magazine print. 
What a fun and simple little card. It was made much easier by the fact that the kit came with so many cute embellies and pretty paper.  There will be more projects coming out of those kits, for sure!

This adorable card will be entered in challenges at:
