Sun Worshipper.

Hello peeps!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday morning!

It's time for another Time for Tea Designs' card today, and I am featuring Sun Worshipper.

I hope you all aren't tired of my scenic beach-y/ paradise cards yet. This one's pretty simple. Just kraft paper, with stickers, and I added those waves using gelato sticks. I tend to take pics of my cards in natural sunlight. I may have taken this one when it was dark and overexposed it while editing. It gives it a super bright and high contrast feel. I guess the sun was at its highest and hottest point then, he he! She sure is getting a nice tan!



Have a wonderful day and weekend!!

Brown Beauty.

Good morning, everyone! It's digi release day at Some Odd Girl, and I am pleased to show you Horsing Around Mae.

Aren't they just both gorgeous? I've probably been on a horse just a number of times, but they are really wonderful creatures. I think I was about 7 or 8 when I rode a pony in Baguio (just north of Manila) for the first time. And then, I went horse back riding with some of my closest friends during my college years near San Francisco. The place was close to the beach, and it was so much fun!

I wanted to color this horse a darker color and show off the sheen and a bit of texture on her coat. I want to call her Brown Beauty. Her cowgirl has suede cowboy boots on that are very well worn, don't ya think? :)

I added the flowers because I thought they had the same vintage country charm as the patterned papers. I really adore this digi!



Have a fabulous day!

Hula Girl.

Good Saturday morning, peeps!!

I've got such a cutie to show you today. Time for Tea Designs' Hula Girl is so pretty, and I love her swaying hips and skirt!

I thought it would be fitting to put her in a little scene. You can see that the coconut mai tai drink made it to another tropical card, LOL! My card is fairly simple but I wanted her to stand out. It was definitely challenging to color up the grass skirt to look the way I wanted to but I am always up for it!

I've always wanted to learn the Hula, so I signed up for a class for a few months. I also own a Hula/ Tahitian work-out DVD that I love! The dancer/ instructor always performed in front of the ocean or another beautiful Hawaiian scenery. I guess this card was an ode to that?

But doesn't it seem like she's eyeing that cocktail? BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!



If you haven't yet checked out Jo's releases this month, you will be blown away! So many Summer beauties to choose from!

See you soon!!

Tropical Colors.

Hello all!!

First of all, let me apologize about this post. I am currently on vacation and had forgotten my laptop. So I am typing this up on my phone. I am hoping the links are correct :).

Today, I am showcasing the current Ning Challenge -- Tropical colors. What better way to do this project than to color up Tropical Mae. Doesn't she look so relaxed and seemingly living it up in Hawaii or Bora Bora?

I must admit that I went a little (ok, a lot) overboard with the orchids. But lately, it seems like my cards are getting to be one-layered and CAS (clean and simple). I wanted to go back to layers and lots of embellies. I also decided to put in quite a bit of mai tais, hee hee! She is, afterall, on vacay!



Have a colorful and bright day!!

P.S. for some reason, blogger would not let me add labels or preschedule this post. So the date/time are a bit off!
