Summer Fun

OOooo Exciting

My new Magnolia club kit arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to play.♥.

Photo: Excited ! Sea Breeze Collection 2013 !

Here is the Summer Breeze Collection 2013

They all match perfectly with the previous Summer Backgrounds.

Tilda I have painted with DI Re-Inkers. Ive used quite a lot of Frantage and Fragments on this card especially for the Sand and Sea to give a little more dimension and texture.

The Stampman stocks the whole range of this by Stampendous.

I think it was midnight when I closed my craft room door!!!Whoops...I daren't go back in to see the mess Ive made.. I somehow manage to get Frantage all over my bed!!! ha ha

I did feel like I woke up on a beach this morning myself!! ha ha;D

Love these tiny shells I collected from a beach in Scotland. I knew they would be useful.

The 'Aloha' charm was appropriate too. I think I got this from Live and Love Crafts

Dies used are DooHickey Event Flags, Tilda's Tag and Flags

Tim's Sizzix Scrollwork

Corner made with Clay

Berries, Lace and Ribbon from the Ribbon Girls

Hope you like it

Must dash Ive work today

Its Sepia Time At MDUC

Hiya

Its the Design team choice over at MDUC this week and to start with its my choice !! YAyy :D

and the girls have rocked it over there as always.

I started with the no lines technique, but now its finished you cant tell because I always end up shading the lines back in!!ha ha

I then embossed with clear ultra thick and cracked a little to age.

I used Tilda With Cross Necklace (but left out the cross)

The wooden heart I painted with Gesso and added a few of my favourite shabby elements.

Two Challenges....................Update

Hi There

So sorry I had to rush my last post :D

Its just been one of those weeks...Which means Ive had to combine two challenges and I really don't like doing that!

So here's an update and a few pics of what Ive been up to...:D

My card is for CLP Midweek Reminder and MDUC- Anything goes

and Ive used the beautiful Sweet Pea Tilda Coloured with DI'S

Magnolia paper and wording from Pion Paper

Ive a thing about making my own moulds at the moment, so Ive a few Airdry Clay Elements in there too.

Doohickeys used are Rose Leaf and Swirl.

Ok now to why Ive been so busy.

It was my sons Prom on Friday and my daughter has been doing her Duke Of Edinburgh award this weekend and getting them both ready was just crazy!!!.... along with fitting work in too....

Here are a few pics...(They will kill me for showing them here!! ha ha)

This is Callum with my hubby...Not quite 6ft 4' yet but very nearly there.

I tell you ..Im sure boys are worse than girls for getting ready!!!

Strike a Pose!!

Love This picture...Looking all relaxed

And this is Sophie 2nd from the right at the start of her 26 mile walk!!!

(How she did it with all that weight on her back I will never know)

Back soon with some Yummy candy!!Don't Miss it!!!

Bye for now

Hugs

My First Ever Digi..

Hiya

Yep I managed my first ever Digi???

When Ive tried these before its never worked, as my Langton paper is too thick to go through my printer. But for some bizarre reason it worked through my sons and its the EXACT same printer??? Weird or what??!! LOL

I think I should swap them when he's out!!! ;D

I bought one of Krista's images from Saturated Canary 'Maxine The Florist'. I think I chose a difficult one too for a first attempt, but its my dream to be a florist...One day perhaps :D

I think it may of run slightly, so I painted the best way I could but I did run under the tap first to wash of the excess ink. This definitely helped.
