All Occasion Card Using Imagine That Ice Cream Parlour Digi

Hello friends.  How is everyone doing?  I know life is tough sometimes; so you will probably relate to this card.  LOL!  I created it for one of my sister, Alice.  She is the one who lives near our mother; and helps to take care of her.

I am spoiled; because I love using her colored images.



Digi set includes Precolored Images, Black and white images and Sentiments

All Occasion Card/Friendship Card Using Sweet Pea Mushroom Fairy June Progressive Challenge

Hi to all of my friends in Blogland.  It is another beautiful day in Southern CA; just a little too hot.  I hope everyone is having a fun summer.  It is flying by so fast.  It will be over before we know it.

It is time for another Sweet Pea Progressive Challenge using Karen Middleton's Mushroom Fairie.  This was a freebie if you entered their Progressive challenge Part 1 for the month of June.  If you didn't enter; you can still purchase this image at a discounted price and enter before the challenge ends on June 28th.  I know I am cutting it very close. LOL!

I used this adorable image and created an Easel card; which is one of my favorite style of cards.  I love that you can see the inside and outside at the same time; when it is opened properly.  It stands up as the picture shows. I glued two ribbons together; for this shimmer effect to match the colors/wings.

Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Bubbles Brea for Progressive Challenge

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer or whatever season you are in where you live.  I just saw the pictures of Springfield, MO and all the flooding there; which is worse than I have ever seen it.  I use to live there and most of my family lives near there.  I feel so bad for those people when I see that kind of situation.  

I created another birthday card using Art by Miran Bubbles Brea for the June Progressive challenge found on their Facebook group.  It is a fabulous group and you  need to request to join.  They have a lot of fun challenges there.  The Progressive Challenge is one that you can join anytime.  The first part is Anything Goes and the second part is with a free digi they have chosen.  It is a wonderful way to increase your digi collection with some gorgeous digis. This digi would have been a free one; but I wasn't able to enter the first part; so I bought it after vacation at a reduced rate.  I think my creative mojo is still off; because this one took me several days to create.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Be sure to check out Art by Miran Showcase blog, Challenge blog, both Facebook groups and her store all in one location; making it easy to find.  

I am entering this card in Path of Positivity Happiness Challenge; which makes my third entry.  It has been a while since I entered anything in that challenge.  Lisa has a fabulous team and I love her positivity and all of her wonderful challenges.  Happiness can be anything that makes you happy; and the great thing about it is; that you don't have to justify it to anyone.  I love blowing bubbles; which I haven't done for a while.  My granddaughter, Lana, asked if I had some when they were here visiting; but I couldn't remember where I put them.  I am going to have to look; because they make me smile and I feel happy when I am blowing bubbles.  I don't even know why.  LOL!
