Summer Fun

Summer fun time ... even though we're in the Southern hemisphere and it's supposed to be winter. But it's been 25-29ºC this week!! Weather is going crazy - I'm off to the beach!

I'm not going with the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, but the wonderful new SSS bikini die cut with purple gingham pattern paper! Either way, hope you have sunshine and a wonderful weekend.

It is such a joy to play with Distress Oxides! Especially on coloured cardstock.

Beautiful Birthday

This is ALL NBUS ... sentiment and flowers! The sentiment set is from Hero Arts and I'm sure it's going to be a firm favourite : Birthday Messages. The flowers from Club Scrap.

... The Flower Challenge #10 : Embossing Heat / Dry

Antique Rose

This is one of my favourite stamps ... Hero Arts Antique Rose Stem. Loved pairing it with a touch of polka dot patterned paper. Coloured with Distress Inks.

CASology #258 : Diamond

Another week flies by and it's time for the CASology challenge. Are you ready to sparkle? Or be geometric? The cue word is DIAMOND.

I decided to go with the shape, not the rock!

This month marks CASology’s 5-year anniversary, so mark your calendars for the blog hop that begins a week from today on the challenge blog!  Our past & present design team members as well as some of our sponsors will be hopping together to provide lots of inspiration and fun prizes!

Pretty in Pink

I love soft pinks with green so the Color Throwdown Challenge #451 is a perfect match.

Sunflower Sunshine

Time for inking up a NBUS (Never Before Used Stamped) and sending some sunflower sunshine to my friend. I grabbed this stamp set on the Club Scrap Sale and it arrived while I was away.

This is my entry for the CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge #231 - Sketch

CASology #257 : Wish

What is it about dandelions that make them so magical that we can make wishes with them?! So light, dreamy and enchanting.

We all wish for things ... and send good wishes to others, so come and enter this week's CASology Challenge : Wish. 

Come on over and see the inspiration by the DT members :

CASology #256 : Pizza

This has been a challenge indeed ... besides not having any pizza stamps, there were no ideas flowing. I took the sentiment from SideSandwich on Etsy and typed it up adding some pizza clipart.

Pizza is one of my favourite foods, but since having to avoid wheat, it has been a challenge to find a good one! Anyone out there have a good wheat-free recipe?

[I apologise for the photo - it looks fine on my camera, photos and preview file, but as soon as I upload it, it goes out of focus.]

Come on over to CASology and join in the Pizza Challenge.

June CCC

It's been a while since I played in the Card Chain Challenge. They have their own blog now and I'm so happy that Deborah, Gail and Jo have kept it going.

My card went to Jerrie in Wisconsin.

Thought it would be a good idea to have the envelope match.
