Mermaids Make Memories (say that fast three times)

This "under the sea" theme cried out - put a mermaid on it!!!



A center-step card using Miss Melissa Mermaid (colored her with alcohol markers), some punched out butterflies, a few water-colored flowers, a sentiment of "thinking of you", and a bit of glitz shows off a nice card to send to a shut-in. (Pardon my studio table, but you can see where I create)


This mermaid, Mae, is a digi stamp that I colored and fussy cut for a bulletin board project at Vacation Bible School.


I added a fancy container with flowers as a background for her.  I used a regular coloring book page for the background and dressed it up with some sparkle and shine.  Mae is an articulated paper doll (meaning her arms can move) which adds interest to the project.

BTW - August 2 is National Adult Coloring Day - many libraries and other venues are encouraging adults to color to resolve stress issues.  It's fun and it's relaxing!!!


 Up next is the extraordinary KIM

"Put a Boat on It"

When Connie set up this blog hop, she stated that our projects should have a boat on it - mine does but it's "way different" than the traditional concept of a boat project.  For several months I have been making straw people for a display at our local library.  These have been stamped people such as Julie Nutting or Dyan Reaveley dolls and the occasional story book character.  This is the case for today's project -
Marie Antoinette straw person.

I colored her with a combination of colored pencils and alcohol-based markers, fussy cut her out, and mounted her onto a decorative straw.  She and the other straw people I've made will serve as a decorative centerpiece for a summer reading display.





 Up next is MIRANDA

Here's our line up in case you get lost.
