Hanna Sneak Peek: Make a wish



Are you ready for the beach? Bikini season? Believe me, with six kids, there is no way I am ever wearing a bikini again. I will say that I have been hitting the gym 4 times a week. YES! I take classes and my dedication has really paid off. I hope to continue this pace after my trip to France. I have all my dresses packed....I put on a little fashion show for Todd last night. A preview of our time in Paris....and he was impressed at the new me. Ahhhhhh...I digress. Back to bikini season and this new Hanna set {Fun in the sun}. I also used the set Things Hanna would say for the sentiment.

I am vowing to use all my supplies before I splurge on any new stuff unless I really need it.


I am using these DCWV cards which I am keeping on my desk until they are all gone. This one is almost marigold (remember that color from last year). It is such a pretty, creamy yellow. I stamped the shells and starfish from the new set Fun in the sun. I masked off a piece of white cardstock, stamped a single starfish and then colored that in with copics. I punched out the image with a square punch and doodled around the edge with a black gel pen. My friend Mish taught me this dot dash method of doodling which is very fun. You really cannot screw it up! It gives a nice frame to the image, don't you think? The starfish was covered with sakura stardust (clear) to give it some sparkle. I stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner with the archival black. I went back over the shells and the starfish and highlighted a little with the white gel pen (SU!) to give it some depth. Finally, the main image is mounted on a square black punched mat and attached to the card with dimensionals.

What do you think?
