The new queen for this week is Jenna Barber, who like her sweet mother-in-law, Karen Barber, has an awesome gallery - Jenna learned from the best! I chose to CASE a card from Jenna's gallery using the same image and exact same layout, but I changed the colors and made 3 layers of sails, popping them up, and colored them green with Copics. It will be a good masculine card.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: SU Sail Away
Paper: Gina K Luxury 120 and SU CS
Ink: Copics: Sails: G03, 05 and 07 and a Copics Black Spica glitter pen for the boat and a Copics Aqua Spica glitter pen for the waves
Accessories: Green/white twine; Sizzix EF; SU pop dots and unknown yellow glitter brads
Okay, going back outside before the storm arrives - if it arrives - need to power wash my porch and pool deck.
So, happy week-end. Later gator!
My friend, Shirley, is on the team over at CCEE and I thought I'd follow a few of their challenges. This week - the challenge is to use glass on your card. I used a Flourishes set called Windows of the World. I put Crystal Effects on my windows and the outside - around the window is suppose to be a stucco finish. What I should have done is to use distress inks and a sponge, but . . . next time! I'm not sure if it looks like stucco or my Copic covered with smeary Prismacolor pencil - but, as they say - it is what it is.

I haven't seen the predicted rain or storms yet - the sun is shining brightly and it is only 80 degrees today - an awesome day to be outside - which is where I am headed directly.
Enjoy the beautiful week-end. Later gator!

I had lunch with my sweet and cute son today at the Olive Garden - they have such a yummy salad - but we had to wait for about 20 minutes - they were just packed.
The Illinois State Fair started today. I used to go to the fair when I was younger - just for the fair food and to prowl around with my friends. They always had bands on top of the buildings - but they no longer have that for kids -- too bad.
The weather is really nice - in the 70's, hardly any humidity. We are suppose to get rain and storms tonight and tomorrow - which cuts into my pool time, however, we really do need the rain.
Okay, that's it tonight - hope you all have a wonderful week-end! Later gator!
The challenge at Mo's DP2 this week is to make anything but a card. I don't have the patience for many 3d items, so I made a Christmas tag using one of Mo's newer digis called Little Elf Nim. She is just so cute and there is another little elf in the store that I am going to go and pick up as well. The images on the faces of Mo's images are so typical of kids - she captures them so perfectly!

Accessories: Glamour dust on fur trim on hat/outfit and ornament; Wild Orchid Ivory and Ivory/Pink Roses; Pink/gold ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon kit; Circle Nesties; SU lace and pop dots
The weather has been so pretty out - although the pool has cooled down somewhat. The temperature has only been in the low to mid-80's and hardly any humidity.
I'm going to have lunch with my cute son tomorrow afternoon - that will be fun.
I thought I might try and get one more image done tonight, but I think I might just read until I get tired.
Hope everyone has an awesome Friday tomorrow.
Take care and later gator!
