The Last of The Summer Wine (well, watermelon)

Hello.

So we're almost at the end of August and before my Whimsy  cards move to Autumn/Halloween and Christmas (shhhh) I thought I;d share one last summer card.  I decided to try and give Millie a watermelon base with a bite taken out of it, I had to use scissors as the cardboard didn't taste very nice!

Beach Day Hugs

Hello.

It's very much a BOGOF today with my cards Whimsy  I made the first card using Teddy and had some paper left over so thought I would make another wee card with the left overs (also the card with Teddy shows you that you don't need to use Chirstmas sentiments at Christmas!)

A Giraffe and His Cake

Hello.

Just a wee birthday card today using Dustin Pike's Whimsy  Giraffe Cupcake image.  I decided to turn him round and just have him peeking in the side of the card and the sentiment that comes with the image was just perfect to do in a bigger size.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and our theme this time is Firsts. I made the 1st birthday card but one of the Sweeties had also done a 1st birthday boy card so I decided to do a Baby's 1st Christmas.  When I went to watermark the card I discovered a card I made for a friend leaving work for his first day in a new job so I'm sharing that too (his version wasn't censored!)

I couldn't resist this Dustin Pike Whimsy  Beach Gnome set so I decided to use a few and make it look like he was sending some holiday snaps of a typical day's holiday! The backgrounds are all done with Distress Oxides.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

 

Time for a new challenge Sweet Stampin' and our theme this time is Doodling. 

I should explain, this came about as a result of a background I wasn't happy with, threw to one side and did something else, then had a look at it again and decided to do something with it, then.... whilst looking in my drawer of things I've made I decided I'd pull out all my Tracey Hey stuff that was just lying in there (that was the same shape) and make a book... so it's a book of envelopes, not all of the pages have doodling, but there is doodling in there I promise. 

Oh and I might start book #2 now!

I wrote a list of all the sets I used but I can't find it and at the moment I'm suffering from covid so will come back and confirm.
