Christmas in July

Good Morning Peeps,

It’s Wednesday morning and I hope it’s not too hot for you today.  It’s not been too bad here a bit hot at night and hard to sleep but the last few days have been rather cloudy so a lot cooler.  I’ve been busy getting things sorted as starting today we are having a complete new bathroom fitted.  So upstairs will be a bit of a no go area through the day for about 8 days.

Back to today at Fab’n’Funky where this will be our last challenge before our summer break and I have chosen the theme of:

Christmas in July

For my card I used a CC Designs stamp, coloured with Copics and an embossed background with a Penny Black embossing folder.  I added some small snowflakes stamped with a Hero Arts stamp, a sentiment some small die cut snowflakes, nuvo drops and glitter.

 

Why not pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the Design Team and maybe get started on your Christmas cards by joining in our challenge.

 

Have a lovely day and keep cool!!

Christmas Baubles

 Good Morning Peeps,

I hope you have all had a good week, it's been very warm here but today is a little dull and cloudy.  It's Father's Day today so we have the family coming over for a BBQ (weather permitting), so something to look forward to. 

 It's also the start of a new challenge over on Girlz Creative Christmas Challenge, where this week our challenge is:

 

Christmas Baubles

 

 

 

For my card I used a digi bauble image from Angie Blom I printed it three times, coloured with Copics and fussy cut it out and hung them from the pine branch which is a very old die from A Cut Above, Dee's Distinctively.  The backing papers are from MFT and Spellbinders.

 

We would love to see you joining in our challenge.

 

Enjoy your day whatever you have planned.

 

 

 

Hoppy Birthday

 Good Morning Peeps,

 

I hope you are all having a good week.   Beautiful sunny day here today and I should have been having my eye op but it was cancelled again yesterday with no further appointment as yet, let’s hope it will be third time lucky!  I shouldn’t be surprised as it seems to be the norm these days.

 I've been tidying up a bit in my craft room and looking through some very old wooden stamps and came across this Penny Black one (must be about 15 years old)  and decided to make a card with it.

 

 The stamp is called "Jump for Joy" by Penny Black and I coloured with Copics, the paper and die cute flowers are by My Favourite Things, I framed the image with a die from Pretty Pink Posh and added a computer generated sentiment.

 

Have a good afternoon!

 Good Afternoon Peeps,

I stencilled the background with a Dutch Doobadoo stencil and Oxides, the image is from Di's Digi's  I coloured with Copics and a hand written Cheers.

Good Morning Peeps,

 

I should have been having my first eye op this morning but unfortunately it has been cancelled until next week, hopefully that will go ahead.

 

Today though we have a new challenge starting over on Fab'n'Funky where our lovely Chris is hosting with her choice of:

 

Use Die Cuts

 

 

I decided to use a very old Memory Box die cut out in black and then cut all the flowers out in different colours , the trellis pieces are cut with a Phill Martin textures die and the Happy Birthday with a die from my stash.

 

Do take a look at the challenge blog to see some great inspiration from the Design Team and we would love to see your projects using die cuts.

 

Have a good day!
