Back to school, Anna

Our granddaughter will be starting her second year of teaching elementary school, and her birthday is soon.  I thought she might appreciate the whimsy of this!  The image is a pre colored digi from Dearie dolls.   I added a strip of Washi tape - the only one I brought along this summer.  (I am looking forward to being able to choose from all of  the supplies I left behind in the house - I packed a lot in the RV, but not always just what I would like to use!

Anniversary Hearts

I am running out of ideas for anniversary cards!  This is a favorite color, and I think this is not too feminine.  I got to use some scraps! The  hearts are Spellbinders, EF by Sizzix, the stamp Recollection, twine is AMuse, and  the flowers by Petaloo

Another white, black and red

I used a CB border die, and Cheery Lynn  wreath border which I cut to make the trim at the right.  The vellum flower is a Spellbinders die - all backed with Swiss dots embossing.  The image has been in my stash ( a gift), and the sentiment is7Gypsies library stamp.

(I have been trying to complete this for 3 days, while on the road - sorry if there are errors.)

Beach gals

Colored with Prismas.   The gold cs is by AMuse.  The lattice punch is Martha Stewart.  The "sky" is a piece of dp I have had for a long time and I cannot identify - IRL it does look like a pretty sunset!
(I am still having the most frustrating problems connecting as we are are in a fringe area for Verizon -grrr....)
