Mele Kalikimaka to you!

Good Sunday mornin'!

It's time for Christmas Card Challenges # 20 - the theme this week is wings!

I wanted to stay away from the usual angels and I was itching to color up some TGF. She's wearing a swimsuit though so I decided to do a Hawaiian Holiday card (I love Hawaii!).

Added some trim I bought from the islands - from a scrap booking store in Maui, in fact! And the main paper is from
Kelly Purkey's December daily kit.



Have a wonderful day!

Glimmer.

Hi all!

Good Wednesday morning for you East- Coasters! And good evening for you on the West Coast!

I've made a little card for a patient. I accidentally wrote her name before I took the pic so I've covered it up here (see the white blob on the bottom right?). I try to personalize some of my cards after the photo to preserve confidentiality.

Anyway, I've done some altering here --

Glimmer Bean's head and the body of the one of the Roll Call kit gals.

I also followed the Deconstructed Sketch 67.



Have an awesome day!

Shimmering Summer.

Hiya!

I don't know about you but it seems like this summer has been so, so fun for me. My boys had their birthdays. So You Think You Can Dance and Project Runway are back. The Olympics gave me such pride, inspiration, and warm fuzzy feelings (And I'm not just talking about Nathan Adrian...HA!).

And I got to go on a much needed girls' trip (more about this later). And although it seems to have gone by so fast, we still have half of August and all of September.

If you have any tips on a cheap mini-trip for Labor Day, let me know. We'd love to go away but with three major trips planned for the next year, I don't think we can afford anything big.

Anyway, my card for today features Shimmer Bean from TGF. Isn't she perfect for Summertime? I sure hope Marie makes some boy beans as I'd love to make some bean cards for my tots.

For the card, I experimented with some mists and paint. :).

Don't forget that you still have time to join in on a chance to win some felt flowers - go here!

Have a wonderful week!

Dare Me to Sparkle.

Hello, everyone.

Well, I've caught a bug from my son (& his preschool) that turned into laryngitis. I've got no voice, and I'm trying to rest my vocal chords. My sis even said she was told that whispering strains them so I have not been making a peep! And let me tell you, it's a bit hard. My mom has my kiddies right now but it's sad that I can't talk to them or comfort them by my usual words or singing :(. I can't even answer the phone or work. I am hoping that by resting my voice early enough, what happened a few years ago will be prevented! I had lost my voice back then too...for 2-3 weeks!!!! Yikes!

So, anyway, I have a card for you featuring The Deconstructed Sketch No. 59. I finally got to color up Glimmer Bean from TGF. She is so cute and so much fun! I just love her hair! I really do hope that someday I will have a daughter :). He he!



I hope you guys have a phenomenal day! I'm off to drink some tea!
