Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter

Oh, the days of summer, hot July nights, sitting on cars by the river bank drinking Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill....those were the days!

Splash!

Happy Thursday everyone!  One of my dear friends is going to be spending her vacation in the awesome state of Florida soon.  The weather in Florida this time of year is absolutely wonderful.  Florida has some very beautiful beaches and I can just imagine the snow birds venturing down there for some warm days and relaxation.

I wonder if she will see a mermaid?  Remember the movie..."Splash" with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah?  Great light hearted comedy!

This A2 size card was made using Everyday Paper Dolls for the mermaid cut at 3 inches, lighthouse and sea gulls cut from the Lifes A Beach cartridge and the turtle was from....whom...anyone's guess?  I can't remember!

The sentiment "Splash" is from Mary at Cardztv's stamp set called Fun in the Sun!  It is a great stamp set for vacation and summer!

Cannot wait to hear about my friend's adventures when she returns!

Safe travels, my friend!

CardzTV Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to Cardz TV Stamps Spring Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from Kate @ Scrappers Creative Corner.  If you've just stumbled upon my blog today (THANKS!), go to Mary's CARDZ TV blog to start at the beginning!

This blog hop will run today, March 24 to midnight Sunday, March 25th. The Blog Candy WINNER will be announced the following Monday, March 26th over at Mary's CARDZ TV blog.  Mary will be giving 2 sets of CTV Stamps of the winner's choice for blog candy! 2 SETS! OF THE WINNER'S CHOICE!  WOW!!! You can check out all of Mary's stamp sets at CARDZ TV STAMPS or by CLICKING HERE.

Here is my  project for this hop:

Isn't this just the cutest little bunny?  It is a pre-colored digital stamp from Doodle Pantry and is called Snuffles.  I used Stampin Up cardstock in Chocolate Chip as the base card.  The background that is behind the bunny is from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridges and is cut at 3 1/2 inches for the base cut and shadow cut.  I dry embossed the blue mat using the Sizzix Floral embossing folder.  The flower beside the sentiment is from K & Company.

The sentiment is from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps "Easter Punnies" set.

And what is a blog hop without a giveaway?  I am giving, to one lucky winner selected by random.org, an ATG Holder as shown below.  It will be unfinished so that you can paint and decorate it to match your craft room.

I have two holders, one for photo safe tape, and one for "general purpose".  They really save so much room on your craft table.  All you have to do is become a follower and leave me some comment love!  Easy peasy.

Hope you guys enjoy our hop!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Your next stop is Amanda.  She has made an awesome project and I can't wait for you to see it!

A Note of Encouragement

Happy Friday everyone!

Since the weather is supposed to be nice in most States this weekend, I hope many of you get a chance to get outside and enjoy the spring weather.  The month of March is the time where most of the birds migrate from Mexico to the United States and I cannot wait for the hummingbirds to arrive.

I notice a cute little brown sparrow building a nest inside a bird house that we have hanging on the back porch.  It made me wonder how many miles these little birds have to fly to arrive to their summer home.

Hence, the above card is.....SUPER BIRD!  lol

Bird is cut at 1 3/4 inches using 3 Birds on Parade.  All papers are from my scraps.  Wing was embossed with the Tiny Bubbles Cuttlebug Embossing folder.  I inked everything....and of course, what is a super bird without Stickles?  Flower embellishment is from the bottom of a drawer.  It was laying there STUCK...fell off of something so I recycled it.

Have a great day everyone!  Don't forget to check back tomorrow for Mary at Cardztv's Spring Blog Hop.  

Friends

Who is in the mood to cut out some cute bunnies?  I am!  I am!  I thought this background paper was so cute for a spring card and had so much fun making this card.  Bunny was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge at 3 1/2 inches.  Basket cut from Doodlecharms cartridge at 1 1/2 inches.  Word "Friends" cut at 1 1/2 inches.

Hope you guys have an awesome "sunshine" day!
