Hooray for Monday!

TWO important postings this morning...
1) "Christmas in July Blog Hop" continues....YIPPEE!
2) New Release day for Paper Pretties...HOORAY!

Today's mini challenge at Catch the Bug is "non-traditional Christmas colors".  I have toned it down today.  My Snowman Ornament #1 card is CAS(clean/simple) . It was created as a masculine Christmas card...so no foo foo LOL

Oh My!  You must check out the other fabulous cards at Bugaboo HERE.

DCWV paper, Fiskar border punches, spellbinders, copics, stitching, ribbon

And now.....Paper Pretties NEW RELEASE DAY ! 

This little fellow ALWAYS makes me smile.  I love happy cards so I just had to choose him to honor on New Release Day at Paper Pretties. And and and, he's at one of my "happy places" .... the WATER!!!!  Check out what the DT has created with the "2" new release images.  You heard correct...TWO new release images today...WOW

Use your imagination...that's a big splash in top left corner LOL
A2 size, lots of pop-ups for waves, copics and an embellishment

    Welcome to the Paper Pretties team, Cely!! Your card is gorgeous...I am envying the water cuts...is that a die or a border punch? So fun and happy! And, we're practically neighbors--I'm in Charlotte!

    These cards are wonderful. Glad your Christmas one got posted. I got that punch but wasn't impressed with it until I saw your card.

    I love this dog! I hadn't noticed the waves going in opposite directions before, must be because the dog looks more like he's splashing in the waves, a great effect (me too, me too!!!) Great card, Cely.

    Oh....these are both soooo awesome Cely! The first card - snowman - love the pink ornament and the 2nd card.....soooo fun! Love the waves, the blue sky and especially that sentiment! Oh! Speaking of sentiments...you asked me what sentiment I used on my Ruby Christmas Tree card - it's a SU set called Christmas Punch :-)
