Hugs, Sand, Kisses!

Happy "Sun"Day!  My good friend, Susan, mailed me a special surprise this week and I just had to make a card with it!!!  You can see Susan's blog HERE.

Here is my card:

Now isn't this crab just the cutest?  He wants to play ball with us!  You can get this svg cut at Miss Kate Cuttables HERE..

Thank you, Susan for being so sending me this adorable crab and beach ball!  You are awesome!

Rock on!

Happy Thursday!  It is Thursday isn't it?  I have SO many things to be thankful for!  Family, friends, and lots of rain in our neck of the woods!  Beautiful, cool weather too!

I have been on a slight hiatus from crafting lately.  Do you ever lose your mojo?  I have been checking Pinterest, Facebook groups, and Blogger for inspiration.  No luck!

Anyway, I decided to make a card for my son last night and this card came together so quickly.

The guitar is from the Smiley cards cartridge and is cut at 2.75 inches for this A2 size card.  All papers came from the DCWV High School paper stack.  The frame mat is from Elegant Edges, page 38 of the handbook and the shadow and base cut were cut at four inches. On pay 37 is this cute border and I cut it at 3/4 of an inch.  The sentiment is from the CARDZTV STAMPS set called "Snail Mail".

Hope you like my card!  Have a great day!

I decided to make some book marks for a friend of mine who teaches first grade:

Pink Cat Studio

The book marks measure 2.75 by six inches.  Both images are from Pink Cat Studio and were so easy to color!  Glassy Accents were added to the images and I used Diamond Stickles around the adorable girl's furry hat.  These were easy and so much fun to make!  

Come play with us!

Hello World!

Surprise! This post is not scrapbook related!!!  Isn't this just the cutest little guy?  The city where I live has approximately 16 months of surface water left due to severe drought.  As a result, we are reducing the amount of water we use as much as possible and praying for rain!

Our yard is pathetic....so this morning I turned the sprinkler on in the back yard to water the trees and bushes.  Imagine my surprise when this little guy showed up to take a bath!

Enjoy!

Proud Military Card

I know many of you who work outside the home will be off work for Independence Day.  Some will celebrate with parties, picnics, boating, or attending concerts.  Watermelon, hot dogs, hamburgers, homemade ice cream are just some of the things that come to my mind when I think of the fourth of July.  And let's not forget the Fireworks!

Commemoration of the Declaration of Independence should be the primary reason for the remembrance of the Fourth of July. My wish is that we teach our children the importance of this day. Our forefathers fought for our FREEDOM for us, our children, grandchildren and beyond.  Thomas Jefferson wrote this sometime between the middle of June and the end of June.  

As you watch the fireworks display tomorrow, attend that concert or parade, grill outdoors with family and friends, I ask you to remember...and be grateful we live in such a great Nation.

I am entering this card in the Cut It Up Challenge.
