To the Beach ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all are doing very well and enjoying your days!

It is so hot here .. we've already reached up to 114 degrees Fahrenheit .. ugh!  And it's times like these that I wish we had a pool in our own back yard or wish we were back home in Hawaii for a visit!  ;)

A couple months or so ago, I fell in love with Graphic 45 things.  I mean, I've ALWAYS loved G45, but this time I fell hard.  Like .. super hard where I felt like I wanted every single piece of product that they have.  LOL!  What's new about being a crafter right?!  

So one of the papers that I bought was the "By the Sea" collection and here's a couple things I played with for the very first time with Graphic 45:

My very first was this tag which I had fun making:



And then this card:




I have grown to love fussy cutting .. thank you ladies for inspiring me!

There's just something about G45 that makes everything feel so ..... beautifully vintage.  I know this is not my "normal" style .. but gosh ..  thank you so much to the lovely and talented girls Arlene and Tanya for having me fall in love with G45!!!

And thank YOU for visiting my blog ... I wish you a most wonderful day!!

Hugs,
Elise

Memory Lane ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you are all doing very well and had a lovely weekend!

My Bodhi has started his summer vacation a week and a half ago .. so we've been hanging out and having more time to do things together .. which is always so nice.  He's enjoying not having to get up so early in the mornings .. hehe .. and truthfully .. I'm happy about that too.  ;)

Well, here's a card I did recently:







Hope you're all staying nice and cool wherever you are!  :)

Thank you for visiting me .. I appreciate your visits!  I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,
Elise

Friends Make the Sun Shine Brighter ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you're all doing very well and enjoying your week so far!

Bodhi will be out for the Summer in a couple of days .. and he is thrilled!  Seems like each school year goes faster and faster and I've already told my husband that I will be moving out and following Bodhi to whatever college he chooses when he graduates in 10 years.  hahahaha!  ;)  So yes .. my husband is informed way in advance.  lol!  I'm kidding!!!  .. or am I?  ;)

Anywayyyyyy .. I've finally finished a Summer beach card that had been sitting for awhile on my desk .. *deep breath in and a big exhale out* .. hehe ...


That lovely wooden heart is from Live and Love Crafts store:





Coloured With: Prisma Pencils and Distress Reinkers

Thank you so much for visiting me .. I truly appreciate it!  See you again soon!

Hugs,
