For my last day at the beach, I went under the sea.  My little mermaid is happily floating with her friends.  She is from the Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge.  The background is dry embossed and sponged with blue ink.  Everyone is adorned with Liquid Glass and Martha Stewart glitter.

I made this hula girl for my little girl who was complaining yesterday about her curly hair.  The card reminds me of when I visited the beaches of Hawaii as a young girl.  I think it's time to go back!

The Moon Doggie papers are from Close to my Heart.  The shells and hula girl are from the Paper Dolls cartridge for the Cricut.  The shells are inked with Gypsy, Cranberry, Indian Corn Blue and Sunflower Close to my Heart inks.
