By The Sea

Evening All.

Sorry I'm running a bit late with my posting for the new challenge over at CRAFT. This time round we would like to see your splashy/water themed creations. I have used an All Our Yesterdays stamp on my creation, and for a change I have coloured using AquaMarkers (very appropriate for the theme, don't you think). There are four fab sponsors this week, all offering great prizes, so it's got to be worth joining in the fun.

The sponsors are; Digital Delights, Crafts U Print, Trimgyms Digistamps and Images and Fantastic Ribbons.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Freshly Brewed - summertime

Little Red Wagon - beach

By The Cute And Girly - a day at the ...

Crafty Sentiments - summertime

Tuesday Throwdown - summertime

and

Joanna Sheen Challenge - summer daze

Thanks for looking and I'll see you again soon.

Where Is Summer ????

Morning All.

Well, another wet and windy morning - I hope it isn't like this next weekend as I have two outdoor craft fairs to attend, and soggy cards really don't sell well.

To cheer everyone up though, it is time to announce the start of a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys, and this time we would like to see embossing or metal or even both on your creations. Our lovely leader Woo, is offering a very cute Best Of British stamp for the lucky winner of the challenge, so why not pop on over and join in the fun.

I have used Molly Blooms, George on my card, with a Cuttlebug embossed panel and another charm from my shop, Ewe 2 Can Craft. He has been coloured in bright cheerful ProMarker colours as it IS summer, really.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Di's Digi Designs - spotty and dotty

Send A Smile For Kids - birthday fun for kids

Drunken Stamper - colour challenge

Fussy and Fancy - boy attitude

More Than One Fold

Afternoon All.

Well the weather here in Essex has calmed down a bit, hope you are all OK out there, and not too soggy.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Here Come The Boys, but first may I just say how great it was to see so many entries on our last challenge, and how hard it was to pick a winner. Congratulations to everyone, as all the cards were fantastic.

This time round we would like to see your cards with more than one fold - lets see how creative you can get. I am also lucky enough to be sponsoring this challenge, so up for grabs are a selection of charms, many of which can be found in my shop, Ewe 2 Can Craft.

I hope you like my paper pieced card of Paddington Bear, he was really fun to make.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Do You Stack Up - paper piecing

Forever Friends - happy bearday

and

Paper Play - back to Kraft basics

Thanks for looking, and I'll be back soon

Hugs Sharon xx
