GET WELL CARD FOR ONE OF MY SWEETEST FRIENDS...

One of my dearest friends is feeling under the weather and I wanted to send something cheery her way.  I made this card using my MS butterfly punch because I know that she loves butterflies.  I also used purple because it is one of her favorite colors!  I decided to in one of my new Cheeky stamps that I got from Tamiko's.  I hope this card will put a SMILE on her face...

Thanks for stopping by and until we talk again ... MAKE SOMEONE SMILE!!!

JUNE OCS...

HAPPY FRIDAY MY SISTERS!!!  I hope you will all have a wonderful weekend!  I wanted to share what my partner for the June OCS Mary Bennett created ... Mary is such a sweetie and I love the card she made for me ... sooo pretty ... check it out...

Isn't that the cutest ... thank you Mary!  I am totally hooked on the MS punch around the page punches!  For Mary's card, I used the lady bug punch and I hope Mary likes it ... here's what I came up with...

I'm really happy with how my card turned out!  If you want to join in the fun for July, sign up on my BFF Linda's blog!

NEW CHALLENGE OVER AT TAMIKO'S...

Happy Tuesday Sisters!  Boy Summer has really arrived and I am feeling the HEAT ... gotta start hitting the beaches soon to "cool off" ... no bikini for this body ... only bathing suit top & board shorts!!  HAHAHAHA!!!

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that Tamiko's is having yet another challenge ... go check it out for all the details ... it's SHAKER BOX TIME girls!!!  Ever since Joy (the famous Shaker Queen) taught me how to make these, I have FALLEN IN LOVE with them.  Here's what I made as part of the Creative Team.  I decided to use my MS Monarch Butterfly punch ... I'm starting to LOVE the punch around the page look...

Here's a closeup shot...

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy the Summer and until we talk again ... ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE ISLANDS!!!

MAY OCS...

Can you believe it's me again???  Two posts in 1 week ... AMAZING!!!  As most of you know, Teri created this funfilled monthly card swap and recently passed the torch to my BFF Linda and myself.  Linda's been doing all the work lately ... THANKS LINDA ... and I am standing in the sidelines until it becomes too much for her and will gladly jump in and help when she gives me the word.

I was very happy to be partnered with McCline Mendiola of Las Vegas, Nevada.  McCline is new to blogland and hope you all can find the time to check her blog out.  I created this card using one of my favorite images from Belles 'n Whistles called "Wishes".  I think she is just the sweetest litttle girl making a wish in the Wishing Well ... LOVE IT!!!  Here's what I created...

I hope McCline likes it ... I had lots of FUN coloring this image!  I can't wait to see what McCline creates!

Thanks for coming by and until we talk again ... MAKE A WISH!!!
