Swimming by to say......

Hello Crafters!
Happy, Happy Friday to you!!

Today I am sharing a tent card I created for my DT post over at Craftin Desert Divas. I used a lot of different CDD products on this one!! I just love how I can mix and match the sets and dies to make the perfect card. :)

The card base is from the Silhouette Store.
And I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color all of those fun and adorable images!

Hello, Hello!!
Happy Monday to you all!!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend. :)

Today is my Design Team post over at Craftin Desert Divas, so I thought I'd share my project here as well. 
For my post, I created a gift card holder using a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store and several CDD stamps and dies.

If you want to have a little fun... why don't you figure out which stamps and dies come from which sets! LOL!

Here are all of the fabulous CDD products I used on my project.. just to help you out a bit. :)

And this is the Silhouette file I used. (Obviously I altered it a bit! LOL!)
You can find it here.



I used my Spectrum Noir markers for the coloring of the images and the background sky and water/waves were water colored using TH Distress Inks. :)

And that is everything I used!! Whew!
