MPS NSD Challenge # 2

Here is the second card I made. I just love how it turned out. This challenge for MPS was to make a Man card with kraft colored paper. At first I was disappointed that  the sailboat was so small  (even though I cut it at 3 inches). Any way, not wanting to waste a good cut, I framed it and ended up very pleased with the result.

CCC # 73

What beach would be complete without a beach ball. This is a shaped card I made with my gypsy using the Life's a Beach cartridge. I am going to add a label tag later. I am thinking this may be a great boy birthday card for one of the parties my son will soon attend, but it also could be used for a " Hope you have a ball" card too.

I hope you join us this week at CCC for a challenge of any card with a beach theme.

Snappy Birthday

I have some boys I teach at church who are having birthdays. This is one of the cards I made. Inside I am writing-- Hope you're having a snappy good birthday. Corny, I know.

CCC # 61

Inside-- So glad to snap you up.

Flamingo card.

I made this card for the My Pink Stamper Challenge to use a bird. I decided to use an easel card that I learned how to make on Made by Momo. The measurements for the card base is 4 x 11. Then score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. The front part measures 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 and then 3 1/2 x 2 1/4.

The flamingo is from Life's a Beach at 4 1/2 inches.
Grass from Zooballo and sized on my Gypsy to 3.8 x 2.78.

Whale Card

I remember one summer going to the San Juan Islands and being excited to sight an orca whale way off the coast with our binoculars. Just moments later our excitement changed as we drove down the road to find a spot that you could look down and see them right next to us. At first it was just one at a time then two or three at a time. We never would have thought that seeing eight at one time was even possible, but it was. This trip was a fond memory that few ever see. So I made my own whale watching card in memory of the event.

I did this for the following challenges:
Papercutz Challenge # 55 anything goes
FCCB #23  An outdoor activity
Card Positioning Systems # 181-  sketch design

Life's a Beach lighthouse card
