What a whirl wind of a week I've had . . . whew!  I am having an amazing time creating artwork to add to my inventory for tomorrows craft sale from some really fabulous images!  I've learned two new card techniques two of them I'm showing you today.  I am  looking forward to this weekend for some R & R.  (Hubby says THOR came out today!)

Summertime is coming for sure as it got into the high 60's this week and was sunny and bright! Sounds like the ingredients for a day at the park with the twins...maybe we'll fly some kites.  They love trips to the park with Aunt Tammy!

Enough gibber jabber, on to my newest and breeziest creation.  This is Jiggy at the beach.  Isn't he just the cutest baby dragon?  Believe it or not, he is on sale 1/2 off right now at Dragon Designs!

Today's swing card is on YouTube and I like to give credit where is due.  The clouds were new for me as well and really fun. This was fun and can be simple, you should give it a try!
