Dad Slippers


I was born and raised in Hawaii where we call flip flops slippers...


pronounced by the locals "slippahs". ;)



Literally my dad wears them everyday, everywhere.


As I'm getting older, I wonder how in the world his arches can take it.


Just sayin'. 


 The Greetery Dad Squared, Honey Bee Flip Flop Builder dies, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles, Reverse Confetti Sun & Sea Patterned Paper



I used patterned paper, cardstocks and dies for this one.















Thank you for your sweet visit today!

Cuddles

 



I whipped up a card for my daughter attending a baby shower~




Papertrey Ink Bitty Baby Blessings (retired), Winnie & Walter Cuddles Cutaway die (no longer in business), Avery Elle Wonky Stitches, Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors, Reverse Confetti This & That paper pad,  Tonic Studios Rose Gold Mirror Cardstock


The sentiment die is Winnie & Walter (remember that company that closed?) ;(

and the cute onesie is retired from Papertrey Ink.





Inspired by the words "like a child"~





I've been wanting to try Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors, so I got a small set to play with!


I love the creamy matte texture it achieves.


 I watercolored a soft wash for the stitched panel~

Guest Designer Let's Squash It

 



The Greetery Dad Squared, Darice Embossing Folder Dotted Trees, watercolors, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles, Hero Arts 






I'm honored to be a guest designer at Let's Squash It for their newest theme~



My recent visit to a local consignment shop introduced me to this Dotted Tree Embossing Folder from Darice.


I watercolored the panel.


When it dried, I inked the embossing folder on the raised areas and ran it through my machine.


I hope you join the challenge, it's a great way to utilize those amazing folders!


Please join us there~

Bright City


I'm a sucker for cityscapes.


Dangle one in front of my eyes and I'm all about it. ;)



Hero Arts City HeroScape, Brutus Monroe Black Foam Tape, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles





 

I'm a city girl, so visiting the biggest nearby city, while hosting family, is my idea of fun!


 





I wanted to dip into my endless roll of Brutus Monroe black foam tape for this dark cardbase.


I don't need to hoard it, the roll is like the size of a pizza, no joke.

Have a good one friends~
