Google Eye

I created this card using an image I found on google, I altered the image and created a studio file with it. I inked the edges of most of my papers and created my banner from a strip of white cardstock. I folded the strip every few inches then inked up my newly created banner! I choose a few papers from the MME Dream 6X6 paper pad. This paper pad has been great for male cards, I have used it on the past 5 cards Ive made for men. I highly recommend adding it to your collection, I picked it up at Michaels.

Lemonade in a Jar makes you SMILE!

Hello all!

I have been extremely busy lately and have had very little time to craft! I finally got to sit down last night and start working on a few projects. Here is a card I came up with that I will be entering in the following challenges:
CardzTV Challenge 31
Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge 13
Muse Challenge 23 - I used their inspiration to help me design this card. I pulled colors from their example, I also choose a dancing lemonade jar because the sentiment Celebrate reminds me of an outdoor picnic with dancing, lemonade and lots of smiles.
