On the Fringe

Hi all!

The weekend is nearing and boy, am I ready for it! I don't sleep so well when it's this warm indoors, so some mornings this week I sat at my desk with small red eyes, stifling a yawn ;)

Our challenge this week is "Fringe", it could be either paper or fabric but give us some fringes! I decided to stick to paper and thought that a beach scene would be perfect here. Think hula skirts and those parasols's you see everywhere along the coast. Jimmie was such a treat to colour in, great image! The sentiment set is great too, perfect for summery cards. I combined it a a sun stamp to create a little beach scene.



Materials:
* Digital Delights Surfing Jimmie & Summer of Smiles sentiment set, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* First Edition Up, Up & Away
* Crafter's Companion Embossing Board (Using a border to create the waves in the background)
* Inkadinkado Fun in the Sun stamp
* Washi Tapes (Yellow and Green) from local store (Hema)

Hi all,

It's been a little quiet on my blog this last week, I missed a couple of deadlines because I really didn't feel like crafting and was running out of time, I'm sure you all have had such an episode at one point or another. But thankfully my crafty mojo and I am able to share a couple of projects again with you this week. The first one is a male birthday card for the Fab 'n Funky challenge, asking for projects using ANIMALS.

It's All About You....eh.....Shoe!

Good morning everyone!

Wednesday signals another Fab 'n Funky Challenge and I absolutely love this week's theme, dreamed up by my DT buddy Rachel: "Include some kind of shoe on your project"! I certainly needed to put my thinking cap on for this one, but I love the whole process of going through my stash and coming up with some ideas as I go.

I fancied using up some of my enormous stash for this card and ended up deciding on some decoupage. I've tried to create a little scene of the flip flop with a pebble beach and sea, but am not sure I've completely pulled it off. Oh well, never mind, I still like the card :) Have a look on the challenge blog to see what all my teamies have done with the theme, I can guarantee you that there is a wide variety of interpretations and projects!
