Hello everyone: I hope you and your family are doing well in these very trying times. Take care of yourselves and each other, and wear your masks, I honestly don't understand why some people refuse to do this even knowing it can save your life and the lives of your loved ones. I mean, you put a seat belt when you get in your car or board an airplane, right? that saves lives so why, oh why not wear a mask, if you think about it, there is no valid reason not to do it.

So funny ! Love that HOTTIE ! And how about those colorful flowers on card #2.They are so cute and different .
Seriously! Beach Babes is a winner! What a hoot!
Fabulous Twofer, Maria - just love your beach babe and the colorful bouquet!!
Well, these are just too cute and clever, Maria! Love the hottie basking on the beach with the sun overhead, and then how you turned around and made the sun into flowers! Such a cute and colorful card and, surprise, it's an easel! Great job!
Oh, dear, I see you've used my photo without my permission, Maria! But, seriously, I am a beach hottie, aren't I? What a darling birthday card with great coloring and I love the scalloped borders! Your second design is so pretty with the gorgeous bouquet of "sun" flowers! You win the prize for best fussy-cutting of the year!! The whole easel design is fabulous! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #30! I appreciate your kind words and your enthusiasm every month! Keep well and keep preaching about the masks! Amen! Hugs, Darnell
Both cards are so darn cute! Great take on the Inspiration Challenge. Thanks for joining the Paper Craft Crew this Week.
Love your cards! They really bring on summer vibes!! Thank you for joining the Paper Craft Crew this week!
Awesome cards, Maria! LOVE your 'beach hottie!!' She's simply devine - love her attitude and how's she's all decked out for a day at the beach. Earrings, fancy hair-do, and of course, her big diamond ring!! This card, besides having a great scene, also has the perfect summery colors. Just love it! And the bouquet on your second card reminds me of a Vincent Van Gogh painting. Those flowers are beautifully done and look great against that brick wall. Two fabulous cards! Thank you so much for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. (And I'm with you on masks...!) Bev
Maria both your cards are outstanding. The AI image is a hoot! Love the bouquet you created also. Thank you for joining us over at Crafty Gals Corner challenge. Best of luck and hope to see you again soon. DT~Jana Forrest
