Enjoying the outdoors

July is almost half over...summer is almost half over. Soon it will start to cool down and before we know it - that white stuff will be back.  UGH!!!  So since I'm still in Summer mode I wanted to share an early summer card - maybe even late spring but still it's the outdoors and reminds me of those nice lazy vacation days.  :)  The image is a Penny Black image I believe.  This was a card kit I received - I just love card kits!!!!

I'm entering these cards into the following challenges:

• YNS Challenges - sketch

Winter Wonderland

It's January 3rd and I'm tired of winter already!  LOL!  It's been snowing quite a bit here in Ohio and, while it is beautiful outside, it's also cold, messy, and not fun to drive in....but alas, it's all part of living in the north.  Thanks to a recent swap over at SCS I have a years worth of card kits and many of them are made with one of my favorite stamp companies - Penny Black!  So with all the snow and my last remaining days of vacation earlier this week I pulled one out and celebrated snowflakes!  This card is for my Guest Designer gig over at Card Crafters Circle.  But sadly, that has come to an end.  This is my last post being part of Card Crafters Circle as they are taking a break for an unspecified length of time.  I'll miss these amazing artists and have been honored to be part of them for a short time.

I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:

• Creative Knockouts - All that Glitters (the snowflake is blue Stickles)
• Meljen's Design - Anything Goes
• The Crafters Cafe - Animal Friends
• Creative Moments - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a very blessed day and stay warm!!!!
