2z Day with Great Impression Stamps

This beachy chick doesn't give a cluck about what anyone else does.

She is heading to the beach where the sun is at her back

 and the sand between her toes.

So wish that were me! (lol!)

This stylin' chick from Great Impressions Stamps,  is colored, paper pieced and fussy cut.  Her arms were  laden with beach gear...so I slid a life preserver on her tail feathers.  Cosmo Cricket's Snorkel line gave

 this beach scene lotsa dimension with fun chip-board pieces.  

For even more texture, the beach is actually sand paper

 I snuck from my DH's workshop (grin).

Think I may have to send this to my mom
when she heads to Arizona for a month.

So jealous!

If you haven't checked out the new Great Impressions Blog
head on over and see what my DT pals have been up to.

Hugs,

Mojo 226

In an effort to continue expanding my crafting horizons (lol!) 

I bit the bullet and created a circle card!

I think I'm more excited about the shape

 of my card than the actual card!

Thanks Mojo Monday gals for giving me that extra push!

I'm always short on birthday cards so this pretty flourish sentiment from Great Impressions Stamps

is versatile enough to fit any birthday needs.  

My retro flower is created from a die using felt.  Wasn't sure if my Cuttlebug was up to the task...but I ran it through a few times and added an extra sheet of paper between the plates and it cut fine.  Some pretty pearls to the center of my flower 

and I completed my circle card.

for my Great Impressions Stamps DT post.

 to check out all the lovely goodness they offer!

Our Creative Corner - Hip to be Square

I wasn't going to craft today....honestly I wasn't...

But then my sister-in-law asked me for a baby card

 and I found this fabulous sketch 

over at Our Creative Corner...so cleaning is on hold. (grin!)

Here is a look at the sketch:

This really got my Mojo going I have to say!

I used a scissors on the edges of my polka dot panel.  Then popped 

that up on dimensionals.  Each of my four circles are punched on the edge with a smaller punch to "frame" my sentiment.  A scalloped flower I created with a die and petal roller is the letter "O".  Then I colored a white pearl with a pink Copic for the center of my flower.  

Two tiny pink gems also highlight my sentiment. All four circles are zipped around with a zig-zag stitch for even more texture.

so back to cleaning.

Have a wonderful weekend!
