Summer Fizz ~ Crafty Ribbons Challenge #6

I am way behind in getting these posted to
The lovely folks at Crafty Ribbons
But I have at long last got them to the Post Office,
so here they are !

Crafty Ribbons
Summer Fizz Ribbon Challenge!

The ribbons were really bright and colourful!
TBH I found them quiet a challenge this time.
I don't usually use a lot of these colour combos,
but I really enjoyed it once I got into it.

I always try to use the ribbon as the main focus
or an inspiration for the colour scheme.

I used my fave huge daisy punch for this one,
picking the squares of bold colours out
of the ribbon to make the backing.
Using a square punch to cut out pearlised
card......and TBH
I am really not sure about this card at all.
It seemed like a plan at the time!
I have take it out of the bin several times.

This one uses on of the included Alpha Tags.
I used the bone tool to curl it up a bit .
The "Love, Laugh, Live" is on the tag.
I love the twisted cord in the paper
button centre....
I tried out my new cosmic shimmer mist
and managed to get more on my fingers
which now have a lovely orange stain ....

I used the beautiful thin yellow ribbon down
the red card, with yellow dragon fly brads,
red & yellow tiny brads in between.

This decorated can is taking inspiration
from a gift Amanda ~ Scotspanda
I used my fave daisy & butterfly ribbon
to decorate this small coffee mate tin.

And lastly.....a gift for Ali at crafty ribbons.
This bloom is like the blooms I made before
using my fave pumpkin ribbon that I adored

from previous crafty ribbon challenges.
So much so that Ali sent me most of a spool!
What a sweetie!

morning swim!

It is so hot again here today....
my brown eyed girl is feeling the heat
and missing out on afternoon walks
as it is way too hot to walk her then,
So we try to get her out in the morning
for a swim and again in the evening.


I was trying to download a video here
all day!!!!
but cant so if you feel the need
you will find it here.....

and another one of her swimming here....


Morning swim time

Swimming & running in the shallow
bits of the local river are
just the best way to spend a morning,
if you are a Poppy Dog!

wee swim while you drink.....
