cranking out the cards II

we had a few days of high 80* temps so we headed to the beach late sunday afternoon. yes, the beach in december. the boys enjoyed collecting seashells. i just sat back & relaxed!speaking of winter, another wintery card. i changed up the colors a little bit from the cards in the previous post.
i dunno why i do this to myself year after year but i am in a mad dash to get card sets done for teacher gifts.
sorry the picture collage cuts off the whole card but you get the idea. the very last picture is a covered pocket calendar. you can buy those ugly ones at target for $1 or at michael's for 50cents. this set is a bit more crazy in the color scheme. i did no stamping on these cards. coordinating paper & die cut packs helped with piecing the cards faster.
i have more card sets to show you soon. TFL!
[and don't be jealous of our sunny, hot weather.....we are about to get 5 days of rain]

Love your "cranked out" cards and teacher gifts! And congrats on being featured on the CARDS blog!

And look at those beach boys! You might as well enjoy the sun when you can. We had a thunderstorm pass thru last week and another one is hovering nearby...
The up side is our lawn is super green!

Have a great weekend! Hugs to the B-boys!
