Summer

Hello-

I've been staying in the coolest area of the house...downstairs and haven't visited my crafty space in DAYS.  So this morning I got up and played.  I made two cards, they're inspired by 4 challenges.

First up-


The challenges for this card are : Cas on Friday-anything but white so I have a blue card base as the predominant color and Double D - Lets go to the Beach.

For your blog  

My second card is also a summery card.


My second card was inspired by two challenges as well: Inspired By-Beach Life, and Watercooler Wednesday  - All about occaisons.

  

Stay cool...thanks for visiting.

Two fab cards, Cat! Love the seashells on blue but my fave is the fun van with surfboard - great blended circle behind too!!

Don't you just love it when you have the perfect stamps for the occasion? I love the sentiment about the seashells!
Thanks so much for driving your darling pink bus over to IB, Cat!!

Both are wonderful summer cards!

Betty said...

your seashell card is so pretty and classy, Cat - wonderful sentiment and the colorful van scene is so cute! hot, hot here too and humid!

I'm not a heat (or humidity!!!) fan either Cat! Not a real fan of snow either though, so I'm just going to stay in my nice air conditioned house and not complain! Your cards both say SUMMER big time though and I'm loving them both! Your embossed seashells on the dark blue look so cool...beautiful card! And your 2nd card definitely says let's head to the beach! Great cards my friend! Stay cool! :0)

Where did you find those gorgeous seashells? I love how you placed them on that beautiful shade of blue, too! I also love how you blended your inks on the 2nd card...your background is perfect for the palm tree and van...WOW!
Stay cool, my friend :)

OMG, I love both these cards! Gorgeous white embossing on the blue, and your second card is so dang cute!! We had a VW bus like that in blue, and our son had a red one years ago. How fun! I'm sorry you can't get enough relief from the heat and humidity. It sounds miserable!

Tracey McNeely said...

Cool beachy cards the white embossed shells are fabulous and I have gotten that van out in a long time!

LOVE your van! ROFL! (I just uploaded my entry to the Inspired By blog and saw that we used the same van in almost identical colors.) Great minds think alike. *wink* Beautiful design. We most definitely were on the same wavelength this week. Love your card.

Michelle W said...

Love them both Cat! My hubby and I had a combi in our younger days with surfboards on top too! That would make a perfect card for my hubby. Thanks for sharing with us at Watercooler Wednesday.

Danni Reid said...
