Splashes of Watercolor

It’s HOT outside!  I don’t know about where you are, but the temperatures here have been in the 90’s for a couple of weeks, with no relief in sight!  Thank goodness for pools, lakes, rivers, beaches, and beer!! The hugely talented and effervescent Bev is hosting our Wacky Wednesday this week.  She’s come up with […]

SERIOUSLY!!!!  How can you not smile when you see any of Kim Hughes‘ little critters??  I especially love these sea creatures – Ocean Friends. So when I saw what colors Tammy chose for the Color Throwdown challenge this week – colors of the ocean – I knew which stamp set I would use! I really […]

I decided to make a quick card tonight for the Color Challenge #CC178 on Splitcoaststampers. The challenge was to use neutrals and the outgoing Stampin’ Up! In Colors. My neutrals are basic gray, sahara sand, and close to cocoa. The In colors I used are wild wasabi, blue bayou, soft sky, and river rock. I […]

Hi everyone! I’m back from the beach! It was a wonderful relaxing time, but not without some craziness mixed in! I went with my daughter and 2 grandsons, so you know we didn’t just sit on the beach soaking up the rays and relaxing the whole time! We built drip sand castles, rode the waves […]

Well, it’s Tuesday again and I’m not actually at home right now. I’m on vacation this week and have scheduled this post to release on Tuesday morning. So I hope it’s really Tuesday today and I haven’t messed things up!! I’ll be brief with my card descriptions today. Here we go: RUBBERNECKER – RBC18 ~~~ […]

I couldn’t wait to get home from work today to make a beachy card with today’s color challenge colors! I love this combination! Here’s a link to the challenge: CC171 I don’t have time for much of an explanation, but I really don’t think it’s needed. It’s a simple card. The image squares are inchies. […]

It’s Tuesday again! Here we go with 2 more cards for 2 more challenges and a Treasure Hunt for you too! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rubbernecker – RBC13 space I shouldn’t have to say this anymore; you should know the drill by heart by now!

Good morning! I’m currently at the beach with my daughter and her almost 2 year old with no access to the internet and barely any cell phone signal; basically just out-of-touch! While I’m away I thought I’d share this beachy card that I made several months ago. It was made using a previous sketch from […]

Wow that’s bright! But I’m so glad it’s Friday!!! And can you believe it’s almost June already? It’s unreal how fast this year is flying by! Here’s another beachy summer card for you. I used a CPS sketch because I found it a little challenging to decide how to use the large Rubbernecker lighthouse image. […]
