Christmas In July

 I made this a TRUE Christmas In July by adding a sexy lady in her bikini with a beach ball on this card (Digi stamp courtesy of Sassy Studio Designs - in case you want to get her for yourself!)

She looks a little light in the photo because I added paint to give her a creamy color to match the other colors in this card.

I also used some of my new Candi (See the gold & black circles?) They look like buttons or brads, but they are actually cardstock - Fantastic, I think!

Wishful Beach

Instead of doing the usual beach theme, I shared a little wish of mine with this creation.

It's a small view of a beach house. I've always wanted to have my very own beach house. I love the idea of stepping out your door & the big, beautiful ocean is there for enjoying.

Do you have a wish? Does it inspire you to create?

Itsy Bitsy Bikinis

It's Summer! If you are in Oregon like me, it may not seem like it. But it's here! If you haven't already pulled it out, it's time to get that bikini (or other swimsuit if you're not a bikini wearer) ready to wear or at least your body ready to wear it :)
