Easy Breezy Summer Fun!

So much is happening! My life is so full of wonderful, excited changes.  I couldn't possibly share them all at once.  So I'll be interspersing some fun family news along with my card and digi set displays in the coming days.

Today, I wanted to share two of my newest sets.  I've had the outline version in my previous store.  Now the color version and some matching papers are available too.  And I have a special surprise for you at the end of this post.

Remember, you can find some of my images at either

Imagine That!  or McMahon Five Designs 

I have a special section in both stores.  

 Contact me if you don't see what you want in either store.

Memories of helping my mother hang up clothes on our backyard line flood my mind with this set. My favorite thing to hang up was pillowcases and towels...easy corners.  Remember those wonderful wooden clothes pins?  Those are antiques now!  I have a Mason jar full of them.  So the first set I'm sharing has a laundry day theme.

This one uses the outline set and paper piecing.

Another sample of paper-piecing.

And here's one using the color set, including the digi papers. 

more paper-piecing...can you tell I love using that technique?

And last but not least...here's one by Fran Baker, from the M5D design team.  She created the scene digitally then mounted it on some of the digi paper.  I just love the grass and gorgeous sky.  Fran is most talented and you'll definitely want to visit her blog, Scallops and Swirls.

Now, since laundry day may sound like work, let's grab a little summer relaxation.  To me, that brings the beach to mind!  Here's my ALL NEW Beachscapes ensemble.

BUT WAIT..that's not all!  Most of you know that I've worked closely with Kris Breach, who was my digi colorist and paper illustrator for my previous store.  Now Kris has her own store, Imagine That!, and is selling some of my images too.  We are launching a brand new line of product called KD-Kits (K for Kris / D for Diane).  We've blended our images to create fun kits for scrapbooking or card creations.  We'll be expanding that line.  One of our first one uses the images from my Beachscapes Color set, and some of Kris's newest beach themed sets.

Thankful To Be An American!

Patriotic themes in crafting range from sobering reminders about the high cost of our freedoms to the the fun and playful side of just rejoicing in the blessing of our country.   I'm proud of being an American, and I thank God that we are still under His sovereign hand whether or not the majority of the country realizes that fact.  I've created several new patriotic sets to be used any time you want to showcase the red, white and blue.

Sentiments sets come in both black and colors files.  These sets are available in two stores, Imagine That! releasing them TODAY-- June 22, and on McMahon 5 Designs on Friday, June 28.

Here are some samples first. I'm showing the card face first then the inside of that card.

Here's a look at the complete set.  There are four inside sentiments (although they could certainly be used on the outside of your card), and 7 additional sentiments...total 11 sentiments.  Remember too, you can cut and past to separate or combine.  (Set contains color AND black and white, so you can recolor your own).

Americana Sentiments 

For the inside and outside of your card!

The sentiments above coordinate with these gorgeous Americana papers created by Kris Breach, sold here.

Americana Digi Paper Pack

Now for the playful side of my patriotism.  Here's coordinating image and sentiment sets, Playfully Patriotic.  But my card sample first!

Here I used Poppy Parade cardstock to showcase this little guy from the Patriotic Playfulness Color set.  The background paper is from Kris's Americana set shown above.  And, by the way, I'm entering this card in the Word Art Wednesday challenge.  I didn't use the free graphic you can get there, but I'm slowly trying to get back into a few challenges and that one is always so fun.  Hope you'll check them out.

These are available in a color set, or outline image set, so you can color your own.

Let's Have a BBQ!

McMahon 5 Designs has released my BBQ sets, and the timing couldn't be better.  Hopefully, with sunnier weather ahead we're heading straight into BBQ season.  We cook out most of the summer.  Whatever we're having, it's almost always better from the grill!  Be sure to grab the FREE digi image at the end of the post.  

My card samples:

 All card samples are from the outline sets and are colored with Copic markers.  I used miscellaneous patterned papers from my stash!  I actually redrew some of the images since making the last card sample, so you'll see some differences in the grill and smoke!  Someone was sure to catch it, so I thought I'd explain. 

Here are the complete sets:
