Capture A Heart . . . Something Handmade from Me to You: C.A.T.S. July Swap from Joni!

Happy Aloha Friday! Today I have a DELIGHTFUL card to share with you! I signed up to play in Joy's "Cards And Tags Swap" (CATS) and if you'd like more info, check it out here. For July, I was honored to have as my partner the super talented Joni of Crafty Hula Hands. This month's challenge is a color challenge and we were asked to use the colors Red, White, and Blue. Gulp! I'm NOT good when it comes to coloring or working with blues! Poor Joni, but lucky ME! Look at what she made for me:

Isn't this the CUTEST card and tag set?!! THANK YOU, JONI! I LOVE THIS! Joni has colored Marci to perfection. If only you could see it IRL! I love how the pretty blue bow really picks up the same shade as the blue in the DP, and the red punched border and flowers brightens the card. Joni also added some crystal lacquer to Marci's swim tube...like real plastic! Wow! So much detail to her coloring and layout. Joni also sent me those beautiful silver charm butterflies! I LOVE butterflies, so thank you, Joni! I need to get me more shades of blue Copic markers, so I can practice! It was truly a fun swap. Thank you Joni for being my partner, and thank you Joy, for hosting this swap!

I wish you all a fun-filled weekend, doing what you love, and being with the ones you love.

Warm Aloha Hugs,
