I've used a fab new image from DigiStamp Boutique - this is Alf Cooling Off and I love him! I had so much fun colouring him, and then I couldn't resist popping that cloud over his head ;o) The papers are Papermania 'Happy Days' - lots of gorgeous tiny prints that are perfect for cards. The sentiment is LOTV, stamped on a cloud cut with a Memory Box die, the little banner thing is from the MFT dienamics 'mini wavy pennants' set, with a little button from my stash. The fab striped ribbon and matching cardstock are my new favourites from Stampin' Up, in 'soft suede'... it might actually overtake 'crumb cake' as my most favourite cardstock colour I think.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Moving Along With The Times - summer
- Little Claire - summer/ holiday
- Craft A Scene - anything in the great outdoors
- Truly Madly Crafty - summer fun
- Whimsy Inspirations - summer fun
- Anything Goes - summer days
- Creative Card Crew - on the beach/ under the sea
Another busy day for me... working on some card orders, washing the clothes mountain, and then hubby suggested we do the park and Pizza Hut when he finishes work later - we're not going to turn that down lol, so I'd better get on with everything! Hope you all have a lovely day :o)
Fabby card Lisa. Is it me though honey, there doesn't seem to be details and Mr Linky for the 'At the Beach' challenge on the Passion for Pro Markers blog yet? :(
ReplyDeleteI post a card every day and don't want to miss out through backlinking so only have today to link - sob, sob! Di xx
