Fri. 9-7-2018 Christmas Texture

Trying to get into a Christmas mood by creating this card with lots of texture.  I used a CB dotted swiss folder to create the background for the trees and the 3 D "Christmas" sentiment. I sponged the tree edges to highlight them, and placed them all on a piece of cranberry colored CS.

8.27.2018 F4A444 Shapes

The challenge for F4A444 at Split Coast this time was to pick a shape.  I have a half circle lattice and many many stars, as my shapes., and also the banner for the sentiment.  We were not to use circles, squares, rectangles or ovals. This is what I came up with instead.

Sat. 8.25.2018 The driveway "Save"

A friend drove me home from lunch at her house last Wednesday. We have been friends since we attended high school together- in the 1960's. 
 In the course of her helping to catch my neighbor's loose dog, my friend dropped her prescription glasses on my driveway.  But we didn't realize it for sometime and didn't know where the glasses fell.  We found them about 45 minutes later, after she saved the dog and returned him. Whew!  Sure glad it wasn't a super hot day!  Anyway, after she left I was motivated to create a card to remind us of our adventure that afternoon.  This is what I came up with and I have to admit- I love this card!

Please let me know your thoughts- what do you think???

Mon. 7-16-2018 CAS490
