REMEMBER WHEN

Aloha everyone!  Are you getting geared up for the Memorial Day weekend?  I hope yours is a happy and safe one!

I geared up by making a VERY FUN card!  Yesterday I came across some great digi stamps by a wonderful artist named Elisabeth Bell.  Her art is so great, I love their softness and story they tell in a glance.  When I saw this one, I knew it had MY name on it, lol!  It's called "Little Best Friends" (buy it here).  I bought it, downloaded it and got right to work on a great new project!  I used LOTS of layers and pop-dots, 5 different patterned papers, pearls, ribbon and fun charms.  The image was colored with my Copics, the sentiment computer generated and mounted on a Nestabilities Fancy Tag.  After the card was finished, I thought it needed something, so. . . . I added some real beach sand from Kailua Beach over on Oahu that I've had for years (I have a collection of small amounts of sand from all the beaches I go to!).

The term "easel" card is a super one because I always feel like when I finish one it's like a little mini piece of art.  For me, this one really fits that definition!  I entered it in the following challenges:
Digi Bells, SCAD Friends With Heart Challenge Blog, Elisabeth Bell's World, My Grafico Monthy Challenge, Crazy 4 Challenges,  Paper Playtime, Cooking It Up With Katie.

I can't tell you how much FUN this card was to do, and MAHALO Elisabeth for such a wonderful image to work with!
