Hambo Hoedown - Relax card

I am joining in at the Hambo Hoedown today with my "Relax" card today.  The challenge was to make a gatefold card.  This is my first one ever!!  Yeah!  Now that I have tried one I think there will be many more in the future.

Challenges are great they get you to try things you haven't done before.

Here is my gatefold card:

Looks nice just to be floating around on the water with a nice cool drink in your hand doesn't it?

One Stop Craft Challenge - Sketch Challenge

Hello and it is time for another One Stop Craft Challenge!  This time we are using a sketch from our very own Val!

What can you make with this sketch?  We would love to have you join in the sketch challenge HERE!

The sponsor for this challenge is Sassy Studio.

This is the card I made using Val's Sketch.

I used the strawberry image from Designed 2 Delight.  It is one of their free images if you take part of their progressive challenge HERE!  I loved coloring this image because the way it is drawn makes it so easy to make it dimensional.  They look yummy!

Take care!

Surfing

Using new lifestyle craft dies I created this card.  The dies were much bigger than I thought they would be so my card is pretty large.  LOL  Whimsie Doodles put out some new images of Koale and Leah that I just love.  Koale's little bathing suit is just adorable with the little fish on it.

I am so excited this card won the Whimsie Doodles Challenge "Beach Themed Cards"!
