Surf's Up!

Thank goodness for inspiration challenges. I have fallen in love with Design Dazzle! They even have a blog! This surfer has been colored since last summer... just waiting to be put on a card. It was on my table waiting to be used for a WishRAK challenge when I saw the surfer room on Design Dazzle. I needed sand! I needed a palm tree. Well, I looked but no palm tree. But I did pretend with a few leaves. :) I also used my "cloud" template made with scallop scissors. I should have sponged it a little more. I believe I received the surfer penguin from PIF. I received the CB SWiss Dots BG from Wish RAK. Here is the room that inspired all the extras.

Stamps: surfer penguin (Inky Antics), sentiment (A Muse), Itty Bitty BGs & Bodacious Bouquet (Stampin' Up),
Paper: pacific point, riding hood red, white
Ink: black, riding hood red, creamy caramel, bashful blue, old olive, summer sun (marker)
Accessories: Copic markers, ribbon, large oval & oval scallop punches, dimensionals, CB Swiss Dots

It Doesn't Have to be A Halloween Card

I love autumn and all of the colors, holidays, and decorations. I love Halloween stamps, but I don't usually send Halloween cards. But that's OK! They don't have to be Halloween cards. Here are some cards from the past and present that I've made for various occasions. So, if you're one of those people who don't buy Halloween stamps because you don't make Halloween cards, you might just change your mind. :)

Hang in there! It will all be over soon!

I thought this would be fun for the Mom who is frantically busy with something extra in her schedule.
