Cruising by with a Summertime hi!

MY BLOG CANDY HERE!

Well, I've finally accomplished one card that's been pushed on the side to be finished... I've just got this bad habit that I can't seem to kick off, I will work on so many different projects I either have them half colored up or I'm not satisfied with what papers to use.  So they get toss in my box and then next thing you know it starts to pile up... I know I told you all that I was going to work on my Cricut on Friday well I got distracted with something else so that is on hold maybe  I will see if I can try for Sunday.   Usually Saturday I try not to craft until evening time because that's my hubby's only day off out of the week so he likes to spend quality time with me during the day.  Today we went to put some flowers on my dad's grave it's going to (6) years since his passing at the end of this month.  Then we did some shopping, had lunch at our local restaurant (Don's Grill) my fav Chef's Salad or Warm Spinach Salad. 

Anywho on to my card, I was excited when I saw that SOG had a tropical digi image so when I saw (Tropical Mae) I knew I had to get her right away.  I used Spectrum Noir and copic markers, papers from Graphic 45, paper flowers from a R.A.K, and sentiment from Docerela Stamps (Summertime) that I won couple months ago.    Oh, and check out her toes I'm not sure if you can notice it but I had her nails painted red.  LOL!  I'm a flip flop person and my toes are French tip!  Love my pedicures every month!

Thanks for taking a peek~
hugs!

Just Saying Hello!

Hello my crafty friends~
I hope you have enjoyed your weekend!  For me it was a fun filled Saturday, it's my hubby's only day off out of the week.  The poor guy works (6) days a week, so on Saturday is play day for us.. We spent the morning cleaning up and tossing out trash and  garbage, did some errands in town and had lunch at Subway's (my fav).   Then in the afternoon it's back into my craft room, caught up with a bunch of upcoming projects for my DT's but they can't be revealed until my scheduled dates.....(Fun, fun, fun)!
But today I have a cute card to share, and this digi and sentiment is a freebie right now that Birdie Brown is offering to you all.. Torico (owner/illustrator) has some cute images going on at her etsy shop.  She also has a little challenge going using this "retro phone" so if you want to grab it you can also play along.   You have now until June 30th 11:59 pm EST to get your project(s) linked up....
So here is my CAS card using "retro phone" oh btw she has two styles to choose from or maybe you want both of then. LOL!
