Hello again.
It's Little Red Wagon day.........
..........which means it's time for a card or other suitably awesome creation.
Yes, today's is a card, and awesome of course! (lol)
Well maybe not awesome, but I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome, despite the fact that it's nothing like what I intended.
This weeks challenge is to put a 'Sun' on your project.
Easily done.....I'm feelin' Summery, even though the sun ain't shinin'!
Our vacation is imminent and we get our new bundle of fluffy puppy in less than a week........what more do I need to lift the spirits?
A card that co-operates and turns out better than expected is just the icing on the cake.
Here goes.........'Hello Sunshine!"
Now that I think on it, I'm not exactly sure what was originally intended!
All I had planned was the sun.....duh, there's a no brainer considering the challenge this week.
After that I added a little of this, popped a little of that and before you know it, I had a whole little scene going on!
Ah well, the best laid plans..........are usually no plan at all in my case so who cares?!
Papers are from Pebbles Inc. (Nutmeg Grove I believe) and the stamp is cute 'Sugarplum - Emma' from CC Designs. She's coloured with Copic's.
I've still not decided if the torn pieces are meant to be water or sand, so I popped the front layer and just stuck her toes in there........the decision is yours!
Hop on over to the Little Red Wagon blog and check out what the rest of the Girlfriends have been up to.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to join in with this weeks challenge......think of it as a little encouragement to the real ball of fire in the sky........maybe he'll be guilt tripped into making an appearance!
Have a great day, and I think I may see you once more this week if I get my act together.
Take care,
Jayne.x.
At least the sun has returned this morning.....looks like a gorgeous day out there.
Just stopping by with a layout, before we head out to look at more cute, cuddly bundles of fur........there's a puppy out there waiting to come home with us........not sure who's more excited about that, myself or my girls!
Anyhow, today's page is the final scrapbook layout using my recent DT Kit from Two Scrapbook Friends. Again it's using the 'Bumble' collection by Adorn It and I LOVE the background paper I used for this one.
Here's Mornin' Sunshine:
Most of the background work is done for me, but I did add a couple of inked clouds and some messily scattered Bakers Twine.
There's also some Martha Stewart texture paste used in combination with a hexagonal stencil, and I inked over top with a little Distress Ink.
The layers are made up of a combination of the patterned papers, die cuts and stickers all available in this collection. Oh.....I almost forgot the quirky affection I have for adding a little white out around the edge of photographs!
That just about covers everything for today.
I'll be back tomorrow as it Wednesday.....Little Red Wagon Day!
Have a good one and I'll see you then,
Jayne.x.
Are there any Britt's out there now singing the theme tune to Morcambe and Wise huh? Come on you can admit it........show your age!
For those in other parts of the globe, I'm guessing you have no clue, so please ignore.
On to today's Blogging creation which comes in the form of a Crafty Challenge I'm hosting this week, over on the Two Scrapbook Friends Forum.
I'm hoping that if enough of you lovely folks join in with this challenge, we might just encourage Spring to arrive a little earlier than the current agenda seems to have planned for us.
Yes.....the theme for this week is 'Sunshine'!
I'd like to see some form or another on your crafty creation, and if Mother Nature just doesn't get the hint, at least we'll all have something to remind us of sunnier days.
Here's my page:
A simple little page today which still seemed to take forever due to all the stitching on there!
The papers and various stickers are Echo Park, together with a few buttons, flower and puffy sticker things I've had in my stash forever.
I do like the new funky pink tape I found for my Dymo labeller.....just the job on here, and I cut the star burst strips using a mask.
Today's layout was inspired by a sketch from Creative Scrappers.
That's about it for today but I'll be back on Wednesday as I'm raiding my wagon to host my first challenge over on Little Red Wagon.
See you then,
Jayne.x.
