Summer taste it...

Well, here is another one of Mo's images that I colored using a Red, White and Blue color theme for this week.  I used Glossy Accent on the fun fish sunglasses to add some dimension.  I put a star chipboard on the bow to add some glitter.

Dare to dream

I love that sentiment from a new stamp set that I got from "My Favorite Things" which I embossed on a brown piece of cardstock.  I loved this sketch this week from My Favorite Things.  I used a die cut also which is one of my favorite embellishments.  The paper had gorgeous butterflies and one of my favorite color combos using browns, orange, yellow and mint green.  As you see the pictures below, I think you will see why this is a favorite combo. My son had his pictures taken at a "Garden" area and the colors were brilliant.
I had my SLR camera out to take pictures of my son, Trevor going to prom with his date Kenzie. It was a gorgeous day, and they looked wonderful!

Dragon of life

Bugaboo has another adorable image that I had to color - this dragon.  And TLC had the perfect sentiment. How can you think of such a cute dragon spitting fire?  I colored the wings in Sakura jelly glitter pen.  This shows up better since I used my SLR camera to take the picture today.  I outlined the die cut in brown ink and the dragon has blue plates on the tail.

If I were a bird....

With the signs of spring, there are lots of birds out in the yard and it is interesting to watch as they are making their nests.  I noticed a bird sitting on the corner of a birdhouse that we have hanging in front of our dining room window yesterday.  Paulette at TLC has this gorgeous vintage image and I used a thank you sentiment for the card.  I added some bling, but kept it pretty CAS.
