September Duel - Gone Fishing

Hello Hello

Here for our monthly Duel between the Divas and Darlings Carol sent us a fun fishing themed kit to play with this month - had a lot of fun coloring this cute little fishing boy image. I fussy cut him out after coloring it and then started to make a little scene for him. I ended up using lots of the patterned paper (there were so many flavors I could just choose one or two). There are 5 patterns if you include the sky. :-) The base of the card is 5.5" square.

Christmas Card Kit!

Hello Hello ~

today I am sharing two cards I made with the July Crazy 4 Christmas kit I received from Tammy in Canada. Typically every other month, we are partnered up with another SCS Swapper and we send them a couple sheets of patterned paper and images to make Christmas Cards from. July is the exception to the rule, where we send our partners full kits - images, paper, ribbon, bling, buttons etc! 

I really enjoyed creating with this kit - and I have more leftovers to play with! Thanks Tammy!
