Surf's Up !

The August challenge at 613 AVENUE CREATE is "always anything goes and option of Summer fun".

Here's my project, a surfer gnome enjoying the ocean waves.

I used cardstock from Michaels and distressing ink by Ranger. The snippets of patterned paper are pieces that I've had for years and years. (I think 2 of them are Basic Grey, the yellow piece I'm not sure.)

My Surf's Up surfer gnome card can be found at Cricut Design Space.

Kind Words Are Like Honey, Sweet To the Soul

I'm honored this month to be the guest designer at FARM QUEST HOMESTYLE KITCHEN.

The theme is anything that is found in a kitchen, dining room, pantry...

I created a card with a sweet pot of honey ! And just look at that cute bumblebee !

This quote is referencing the verse of Proverbs 16:24
