Springtime and the Good Old Outdoors

Today I just have a quick little post to showcase a sweet little Saturated Canary image

called "Springtime".   I've been wanting to color her for sometime now

and I finally have my chance.  She is for my gorgeous friend Amy and
 I will be entering her into a couple of 

challenges which I will list below.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of dies used for this one!  The sentiment is a stamp from LOTV

and the tulips are WOC.

Challenges she will be entered into:

Women's Gymnastics RED WHITE & BLUE!

So I am attending the women's gymnastics Olympic trials this week here in San Jose, CA.  I was a gymnast growing up and I coached it for 16 years!  So needless to say, I kinda like it.  hehe.  I've attended quite a few senior gymnastics events in my lifetime and nothing compares to Olympics events.  It is so exciting because everyone is throwing their hardest tricks and pushing themselves to the limit!  Anyhoo, this is my entry into the SC Red, White & Blue challenge.  This digi is retired now I think but her name was 'Gymnastics'.  Hope you like her!!

 

SC Ani and a Happy Father's Day!

Today I finally finished a card I started over a week ago when I was still at my sister's.  I think she is so cute.  I always have trouble coloring black hair but I think I'm getting a little better.  Her name is Ani and of course she's another Saturated Canary image.

Peace for the Fourth of July

Looking forward to Fourth of July and I've used Krista Smith's Hippie Love digi from Saturated Canary to get me into the spirit of it!  I think she's really cute and decided to make her hair red...it seems to fit this theme for some reason. Hope you like her!

Incidentally, Krista just posted a Challenge for Red, White and Blue...so now she's going into the rest of the wonderful artist submissions!!!  I love seeing all the ideas, don't you?

My Final Day and Some Cute Canaries

Well my final day to just play around and papercraft with my sister has come.  It's been a great day.  You know, one of those where you barely get out of your pajamas or do anything like... hygienal? LOL!   Those are the best days sometimes.  But tomorrow I will be going back home to the real world.  But it's been great spending time here with my sis, my brother-in-law, and my niece.  Very low key and laid back.  Ahhhhhh...  

Now for my entries today I have 2 Saturated Canary images.  The first is "Cali girl" and she is TAN!!  Had a little trouble with the deep skin tone and the clouds but I think she turned out okay!  Hope you like her!

My next little canary is "Gymnastics" and I made her to go into my iPhone case.  I think she is quite fitting for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics.  I'm actually attending the US Gymnastics Olympic Trials at the end of the month in my current home, San Jose.  Very excited!!
