Cupcards To Go August Kit Goes LIVE

In case you didn't know, the CupCardsToGo August Kit "Riptide" is live!! What a fun "beachy" kit with some fun stamps from Lawn Fawn! Check out the Design Team Gallery for even more inspiration.

Here are some of my cards I made using this kit. It was so much fun!! Sure didn't do much for my island fever, though. I think I'm going to have to pack a bag and hit the beach - and soon!















Be sure to check out our Guest Designer for this month, Sudie! Now, hop on over to the CupCardsToGo website and get your kit before they are sold out - and do NOT forget the toppings, add-ons, etc.!

I'm serious about packing a bag and hitting the beach. I will most likely be awol yet another week but back with beach photos. We hit record temps here today with 106 degrees. Really. Not fun! Have a wonderful week and enjoy what is left of summer!

Cards and more cards

I know! I've neglected my blog lately. Been super busy. Did I mention I have an art show coming up in the early fall? Busy painting..painting.. painting. I do miss my paper crafting time more and more, tho.

I did get to make a few cards a few weeks ago.

I made this card from some of my Cupcardstogo June kit. The stamps are from Unity. The tiny alpha stickers are from Adornit.





This one uses Basic Grey's Koishi with Stampin' Up Stamp, and punches.



For this baby card, I paired Webster's Pages with Pink Paisley's Queen Bee.



I used Stampin' Up stamps for the sentiment on this card. Prima bling and flowers and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Papers are Webster's Pages and Pink Paislee.



Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Spring Snow

We woke up yesterday to snow. Yes. Snow.
Snow in the south.
Snow in the south the 2nd day of Spring.
hmmmmmm.
It snowed for at least 3 hours. Temps not low enough for accumulation. But it was pretty to see. I spend a few hours working on a painting and looking up and watching the flurries. All the while going "Snow??? really???"

And in case you did or didn't catch that - yes, I'm painting again. More on that in another post.

Here's a little something for today.





Background papers and ribbon are from Jillibean Soup. Label and "pea" papers are from Cosmo Cricket.

Oh - and guess what I've heard??? I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything so ssshhh.... but I hear that CupCardsToGo Card Kit Club will be re-opened soon!!! Again...ssshhhhhh!!!

And, I know so many people say things like, where did time go? March already? Etc... Etc... But seriously - March is almost over?? I'm still getting over the fact that February came and went so fast.

Have a great day!!
