River
The background for this card is another photo that I took while in the Caribbean. It was my first time actually leaving the USA & it was amazing. I can't wait to go again. Of course, it will be a while before that happens, but I still dream about those tropical days :)

S.W.A.K.
I made up quite of few of these lip embellishments, so you may just see them popping up on a variety of cards.

Explore Nature
Instead of using patterned paper, I used a photo from my trip to the Caribbean. If I remember correctly, this is a beautiful stream in Dominica that we passed on our way to a striking waterfall & swimming hole.
I love this card & I'm going to pull more photos from my trips to use as backgrounds. They add so much to it with variations in color, natural beauty & just interest.

Kiss My Jewel
Pink & bling . . . what more could a creation need? Well, how about a little lace, too?
The lips are three layers. Base is just for stability, middle layer is covered in super sparkling glitter & top layer is a thick layer of glaze (like lip gloss!)

I Heart Bottle Caps
I love color! I have so many favorites that it is always hard to pick. However, I do have a couple of color combos that I adore and this creation features one of them: Citrus & gray.

He Loves Me . . . He Loves Me Not . . . He Loves Me . . .
This creation is quick, simple & sweet :)
I used the same flowers from the card below, but I changed it up for a different look & card.

Posies In A Vase
Here is a quick & easy way to create a "vase": Cut the ends off of an oval. Yep, that's all it takes :)

Thinking Of You
Well, this will be my final card for today. I ran out of time, so I wasn't able to do all of the challenges for 365 Cards. Darn! I was SO close, but I ended up going shopping with my partner. We went to the Army & Navy Store, Costco & Wal-Mart. We did get a few good things, though! A tent, screen room, olives & garden gloves.

Here is a little bonus for you . . . Garlic & Jalapeno Stuffed Olives - They are yummy, addicting & incredibly inexpensive at Costco for a big jar. If you see them there, buy 'em, you won't be disappointed!
Discover
I discovered a whole bag of this argyle die cuts that I had made previously (By previously, I mean probably well over a year ago!) If you've checked out my other creations today, you will definitely notice a similarity in supplies used :) I decided to use as much of them as possible because they have been just sitting there with nothing to do for so long.

Adore
I only just recently learned that there is actually a term for cutting an image out - Fussy cutting. I'd heard people refer to it before, but it wasn't until this challenge by 365 Cards that I decided to find out exactly what it meant. Ha! Fussy cutting? It's just cutting - a classic method used by any crafter who collages, scrapbooks or makes anything with paper or fabric.
Anyway, I'll be in the know & start using the term :)
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes (DT is using twine)
Anyway, I'll be in the know & start using the term :)
The big, gold flower was fussy cut - It's gorgeously coated with glitter for lots of sparkle!

Escape
Today's weather in Oregon is fairly mild, so I'm going to escape into crafting, imagining when it will be nice & hot & I will be swimming in a lake. I decided to attempt to complete a full week of challenges for 365 Cards. This is my second card today for them. Stay tuned to see if I can complete all 7 challenges . . .

It is time to celebrate the America's Great Outdoors. Every June in America, we honor our natural places, such as forests, lakes, rivers, beaches & more. Ootdoor recreation is a fun, healthy way to spend our time. If you're not in America, no worries - You can join us by celebrating nature in your own neck of the woods :) Make sure you get outdoors and explore our big beautiful world!

Just A Note
Instead of using fancy papers, I took pages from a well-loved dictionary to create the big bloom & for a little added background. I LOVE books, so I only use those books that have been used so much that they need new life added to them. Turning their pages into embellishes is a wonderful way to add interest to my craft.

Inspire (RDB2)
Red & light blue are my favorite colors when combined together. They always are so fun & work perfectly.

Thinking Of You
This card is busy, busy, busy. The background has so many different things to discover that you will see something new every time you take a look.
I used ribbon as the background for the sentiment. It adds texture & uniqueness to the card along with matching the color scheme.

Chocolate Dipped Apple
Mmm . . . mmm . . . yummy! There is nothing like a crisp apple covered in rich chocolate & coated with sprinkles (or nuts.) They are so good AND healthy, too. Ok, so the apple is healthy, but you can't always win.

Chocolate Daisy
Cards do not always have to be extravagant! By keeping this piece clean & simple, the focus is on the wonderful colors & patterns of the flower along with the sweet organza ribbon.
I gave the ribbon shape & depth by placing only the ends under the embellishment. It makes the ribbon have a lovely "curl" to it.

Play In The Rain
When I lived on the coast, it rained A LOT . . . all the time . . . even in July! You quickly learned to treat a rainy day like it was a sunny day. You did your business, you played & you just lived in it. If you didn't, you would be a hermit & miss out on everyday joys.
These boots are a digital stamp that are offered for FREE by Broken Box Stock. I cut off the very tops because I messed up the color scheme by using a dark blue. They look fantastic, though, don't you think?
