I'd like to share two cards with you. The first uses Lawn Fawn's Critters in the Sea and I chose the adorable whale for my mini card. This card was quick and easy and there are several sea critters to choose from in the set. The sentiment is from Nina Brackett's Heartily Yours Additions.

My second card is suitable for an older teen, like Sami. I used Chelsea from The Greeting Farm and created a 4x4" easel card. Hope she likes it!

Your next stop on the hop is Jess. Don't forget to leave comments along the way for your chance to win some great prizes! Thanks so much for hopping with us!

kristina's digis

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend! I want to share some cards that I put together with some digis by Kristina Proffitt, aka one happy mama.

To thank her followers who participated/will participate in the Cards for Kids card drive, she created these adorable digis, together with Crystal Wilkerson, and offered them as freebies here.

They're already colored in so it's just a matter of resizing them to whatever size you like and printing them out. They're perfect for the Cards for Kids card drive or used to brighten up anyone's day.

I made six of these cards in under an hour with little or no stamping. I love this bird image and the yellow bird is a brad which fit perfectly on the card.

Stamps: Hero Arts Clouds background

I used the Sakura Aqua Lip pen to add some gloss to the owl and caterpillar. Super quick and easy cards! Thanks, Kristina, for a great set of freebies and for all that you do for Cards for Kids.

Wild Card Wednesday & Cards for Kids

Wow--Friday sure crept up fast! It felt so good to veg out the week, visiting blogs and doing some online shopping. Did anyone else go bonkers at Papertrey Ink? My mail carrier brought me two boxes from PTI on two separate days--yikes!

I managed to make a card for Club Anya & Friends' Wild Card Wednesday with this sketch by Kim Costello.

Here's my take on the sketch. I used Anya--in a bikini!--from the new Sunshine kit by The Greeting Farm.

I stamped the cloud background by Hero Arts behind her, and also used the new check background stamp. I love how the colors look against kraft.

You can read all about them here and learn how you can be a part of this very rewarding card drive. And there are lots of great prizes from great companies, too.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!
