follow your dreams and peace on earth cards

Happy Sunday crafty friends.  Have I mentioned before that I use my friend Lynn's blog as a jumping off point for crafty inspiration?  I'm playing along with two challenges she recently blogged about, the top one uses the Fusion Challenge Sketch and the bottom one uses the Festive Friday inspiration photo (why on earth am I making holiday cards in August?).  Does anyone have an interest in the VW bug stamp I used in the card below?  It's a Unity stamp and that's the first time I've used it and I really don't think it's going to get much inky love.  Post a comment on this blog post if you're interested and I'll randomly pick someone later this week and send it your way (but you have to promise to use it!).  And not all related to these cards, for those of you who follow along on my work blog you know I take a lot of photos, well tonight I tried something new and did a whole underwater photo series of a mermaid, I know, I know, call me weird, but it was so much fun.  Hope to have the photos up on the work blog soon.
