Creative Card Crew Under the Sea Challenge!

For my design card for this challenge I used Camille for my image. After printing her on my watercolor cardstock, I used my tombow markers for her coloring and shading. Water bubbles were added to her background to imitate being under the sea. I just love the blue with the brown cardstock. Cardstock & ribbon are from my stash.

Here is a close up of my adorable image!

We are sponsored by Michelle Perkett. She makes the most fabulous mermaids and fairies. You can get her digi images in her Etsy shop or now in rubber at Sparkle and Sprinkle. You can also get Michelle's beautiful images in Jewelry at Michelle Zazzle shop.

One lucky winner will win a $10 voucher to Michelle's Etsy Shop.

Our challenge this fortnight is On the Beach or Under the Sea. 

What a perfect challenge for Michelle's pretty images.

Creative Card Crew 1,2 &3 Challenge and Robyn's Fetish Sponsor

For my Creative Card Crew card, I used 1 sentiment, 2 flowers, and 3 clusters of greenery.  My image is one of the wonderful digitals with Robyn's Fetish.  After printing out my flower on watercolor paper, I watercolored it using my ink intense colored pencils.  I wanted some more depth to the flower without adding another layer so I added crystal lacquer.  My sentiment is from SU, and greenery in layers of 3 were punched out with one of my  MS punches.  Cardstock is by Graphic 45.

Creative Card Crew SONG INSPIRED

For my Challenge card for this fornight I used Graphic 45's beautiful cardstock that I companioned with a very pretty blue metallic cardstock that a friend of mine gave me.  This is a very simple and basic CAS card.  So easy to do yet simply beautifully vintage with those pretty roses. Graphic 45 cardstock is available at Simon Says Stamp!  For the challenge I went with the song "THE WAY WE WERE".  These were fashions from my mom's and grandma's era.  I remember going to church with them and ladies ALWAYS wore their hats!

Ian Graduation

I thought that I would share with everyone why I haven't been online quite as much lately
Whew!!!! Graduation is over!  Between all of the final details and parties I have been exhausted!  I am so glad that everything went well and Ian is officially a college student now!
This is one of my favorite pics of my  son Ian and his 3 cousins.  They all grew up together and for the next 5 years we will have a graduation every year. (there are 2 other cousins in the group that aren't in this picture) Ian is going on to college in the fall and is planning on a career in Criminal Justice.
