Anything you would find or do at the beach ~ sand, sun, waves, crabs, sea gulls, shells, etc.
 
I remember as a little kid how my sister and I would be swimming in a lake and all of a sudden .... momma duck with her many babies would come swimming past.... all things would stop as we watched the family of ducks go by  
the ducks are from Nate's ABCs and the clouds are from pooh and friends

fishing

good morning,  I showed my daughter the "you rock" card I had made for her boyfriend and she looked at it and told me he is not into music...he is into fishing, so back to the drawing board and I came up with this one.
If she thinks it is too girly, she will be getting it for her bd...  it is a coral color, looks more pink in picture.

sew cards?

yup!!! I never thought I would ever sew on a card and here I did 2

My daughter was going to tare the straps off of her back pack,  so I got my sewing machine out and fixed the straps....much better because it just would have been worthless without them,,,, I think she wanted new and that is not going to happen...
as long as the machine was out I figured I might as well try a SEW card..
click on picture to see enlarged picture 
 I was going to have the inside of the card the same as the out side but that was too much work for one card and made 2 instead.   At least I know I can still sew a straight line and go around corners!
not sure if I will make another, but I can say "I did that!"

5 1/2 sq card
pink  5 3/8 sq
white 5 1/4 sq
patterned   5 1/8 sq
smaller pink 4 1/4 sq

Die Cuttin' Divas, Christmas in July # 74

Hi all, over at Die cuttin Divas    I found this challenge


We have a new Die Cuttin' Diva challenge this week and we sure hope you will share your card, layout, or altered project. All the projects from last's week sketch were quite impressive and we are hoping for a large turn out for this challenge.

The Challenge...Christmas in July
It is that time of year to get a head start on those holiday projects, so you do not have to worry about not having enough in December.

Last night I was looking at YouTube and found this type of card under window cards, think I can find it again, nope!!! about the only thing that looks anything like hers is the window effect with the snowflakes on it.  Hers you could see through, but I did not like it on mine so I covered if up and used my snowflake cuttle bug folder and pasted it in, I also had no luck with welding these layers from Elegant edges, so I made them separately and glued them together hers had a darling little boy and mine has this WW deer.  if I find it,,, I will give her credit, but for now I cannot find it anywhere.




okay, I was determined to fine her
