Cut It Up Challenge #350 - By the Sea (Ocean, Lakes, River)

Hello and happy Friday! I hope you are all staying safe and warm in the crazy weather everywhere. We had lots of rain (and some hail!) this week in CA. It's also cold here (well, what we consider cold!) I think some of you would enjoy our "cold" weather!

Our Cut it Up challenge this week is By the Sea (ocean, lake, river). I love this stamp set from Newton's Nook so I decided to use it for my card.

Cut It Up challenge #349 - This Makes Me Happy

Hello and happy Friday! I hope you are all staying warm if you live in a cold weather part of the world. We had unseasonably warm temps this week in San Diego. It was 86 degrees here yesterday. It felt like summer had arrived early. Today it was back in the 70s, and I am very happy about that. Much too early for summer!

Our Cut It Up challenge this week is This Makes Me Happy. Living in CA, one of the things that makes me happy is to spend a day at the beach. The ocean definitely soothes my soul and helps me to relax. I decided to make a beach scene card that I will send to my friend on the east coast who has been having extremely cold weather. I hope she feels the sunshine I'm trying to send her with my card.
