HUGE Retirement card

I can't even tell you how BIG this card is!! I took a 1/2 piece of Bristol Board & folded it in half....LOL
I made it for our principal who is retiring - we had a lot of people coming to her retirement party, so needed a very large card. She is also a scuba diver & will be spending a good chunk of her retirement under water, so thought this image from CHI CHI MEMORIES would be a good one!
The DP is from Tim Holtz - Vintage Shabby paper pack.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

The Stamp Fairy - Kasi

I made this card for my niece who helped my brother look after our diabetic cat while we were on vacation. It is a big chore, as he needs his insulin twice a day, every day. My niece came to give Tux some love and play with him! The image is KASI which is a FREEBIE from THE STAMP FAIRY!!! Head over there to pick it up, and check out all the other GREAT images!!! Gerda has SO many cute characters & another new release today!!!! Go check them out HERE!
The paper is from a pet pack - from DCWV I think!

Pike's Playground Challenge

This week the challenge at Pike's Playground is Shades of Green, so I thought I would enter, seeing as I had some time in my craft room!!! I know that time is going to few & far between now that the weather is nicer, so thought I'd jump at the chance to enter!!



I have used 2 images from Doodle Dragon studios - the horse and the hay bale. I have coloured them both with Copics, cut them out and layered them. I kept this card pretty simple as it is going to be travelling across the pond to my BIL in Australia! The sentiment was printed on the computer & I used my speech bubble punch for the first time ever!! LOL Sheesh!!!
Wish me luck!
