Sun and Ice !!



I have 2 cards to share today, both using images from the amazing Jodi at Bugaboo Stamps.


The 1st is a bright sunny card using "Beach Peeker", and is for Anything Goes Challenge#6 "Seaside", Cute Card Thursdays#120 "School's out for Summer", and follows this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge#111



The 2nd card is a Christmas Card, which uses this weeks freebie from Bugaboo Stamps "Mary and Joseph". I've used the sketch from Moving along with the Times Challenge for this week.
I resisted the obvious with the last challenge(though there are some absolutley gorgeous mousey images out there :D) and went for the religious side of Christmas, Mary and Joseph looking for a place to stay. And wasn't Joseph an amazingly special friend to Mary? Didn't he look after her even though he knew it wasn't his baby she was carrying, that takes a really special man, and I think sometimes he doesn't get the credit he should!

Enjoy XXX

  3. 2 great cards Gina. I love them both for different reasons. The first reminds me of days at the seaside with my children and the second one you have done a fantastic back ground and still managed to stick to the sketch.

    Hope you had a good weekend and your Hubby and son are over their ordeal on Tuesday. :-) xx
