Dreaming of the Beach!

Hello Crafters!!

Happy Summer! I have been day dreaming about heading to the beach and so that was my inspiration behind today's card. 

I found a free digi stamp of FLIP FLOP's and colored them with pencils. I used Unity Stamps "bright, happy you" stamp set and die cut the sun image. I used an embossing folder for the water and just added some kraft cardstock for the sand. 

Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a Cricut Cartridge! See this blog post for details!

Have a crafty day!

{Breaking News ~ Birthday Card}

Hey Crafters!
I just made a birthday card for my Brother-in-law and I thought it was so cute! 
I used "Stamps of Life" stamps and "Action Wobbles" to make the TV move. 
You can see below how cute it looks!

My new phone, Galaxy S4, has the capacity of making animated photos so I used that to capture the animation. 
 
I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!

{Praying for You Card - Video}

YAY!! Finally posted a video!!
It has been awhile since I did one and so I kept it fairly simple. I wanted to make a card for a sick friend and used the opportunity to video it at the same time.

I used Stamps of Life stamps ( LOVE THEM!!) and also pulled out my embossing powder.
Hopefully in the next week, I will have another video made to share. FINGERS CROSSED!

In the meantime, please keep my friend, Angie, in your prayers. She needs them and hopefully she will enjoy my card soon.

Until next time, please enjoy the video and leave comments if you wish. I love hearing from you!
