Summer foods

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend.

Today our lovely, talented, Steph is our host over at BBTB2 and the theme is Summer Foods.

 

 

I used Just Because Cards for this card. All layers cut at 5".

My Creative Time for the sentiment.

 

 

A little inking, embossing and 3d foam for this simple card.

I hope to get some craft time this week as life settles and normal work hours resume!

 

The DT has loads of great inspiration for you so do check them out and come play along.

 

I haven't figured out how to get photos from my ipad onto my blog but I have uploaded my camera photos to my PC so I should be able to share some piccies soon.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 



                                                    

Monogram

Hi Everyone,how's your week going? Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

I  want to start by saying thank -you for all the lovely comments I have received and I appreciate each and everyone of them.

Today I have a card I have made for my friend Alison. Her birthday isn't for a couple of weeks but I wanted to join in the challenge over at Cricut Cardz. You have to use a monogram. This is what I came up with...

I used Storybook for the initial and mats and used Just Because Cards for the card and tag layer.

Everything embossed and inked. Added twine and a MS punch butterfly with pearls.

To show the dimension.

My friend is a pink kind of girl and I think she will like it. Thanks for looking.

Set Sail

Hi,bit of a dramatic time here! My husband spent the night at hospital last night......but he's okay now. We are all very tired though!
So,after school run decided to do my housework and then get into my craft room. If I went back to bed I just wouldn't sleep tonight,so I am ' doing' the 'keep going' mode!!
I love sailing - not the dinghy kind,but yachts. With this in mind I came up with this card.....

I used Just Because Cards for the card,sea and boat. I cut acetate 'sea' ,embossed with divine swirls and overlayed the card sea and added dew drops. The sails are stamped and clear embossed. The boat was also embossed. The clouds were cut from Create a Critter. I used white lace behind the boat for the sea foam and added an anchor charm to the stern,(the charm is another 99p shop find).

 I am entering this over at Fantabulous Cricut challenge #61 - Blue Skies. There are some really lovely DT projects so do check them out. It's taken all evening to try and post this and now I am off to bed.....
