Summer Time...

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a good week and are ready for the weekend.

It's Civic Holiday  ~ August long weekend for us.

I had a little time today to copic colour the very cute Wryn Beach Babe available here 

 in the Tiddly Inks Digital Shop. 

I thought she was perfect for Tiddly Inks Challenge #162 where the theme is a summer song.

I was singing along to "In the Sun" by Blondie ...oooh I am dating myself here!

4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #257  - Anything Goes

 Sister Act Card Challenge #117 has an Anything Goes theme

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.

Another Christmas Card....

Hi everyone,

I'm back again.....two posts in two days..what a shock!

 I'm on a roll since it's too hot to play outside I'm colouring inside.

 It uses a sweet digital image from Ppinkydollsart called Christmas Gift available here.

 I really like these colours for Christmas...hope you do too.

Hi everyone,

I hope this finds you well and enjoying the day.

We were on vacation last week so I've been a very quiet blogger

 but I'm back now and hope to visit you all soon.

My card today uses no coloured images....a change for me but I quite like how this turned out.  

 I had my lovely, crafty granddaughters over for a visit 

and they were thrilled to make a shaker card with me.  

Here is how mine turned out.

I used the lovely Massa Leaf Die from PoppyStamps and added tiny flowers using Martha Stewart smallest hydrangea punch.   Viva Pearl Pen used for the centers. 

 Thank you cut using silver paper - MB die.

I punched stars out of heavy silver cardstock to add inside the box.

I save some of  the clear containers that my SB dies come in and cut them for the window.

Machine stitching around the edge and there you have it.

available here in the shop.

All circles cut using SB Grand Calibur Circles and Decorative Circles One dies.

I created the flowers by taking an old silk flower apart by removing the

plastic bits that kept it together and rearranged them using glue,

finished off with a button in the center.
