Just Inklined to Hop....


Good morning fellow bloggers!  It's the first Monday in August already...where has the summer gone, but it's also time for another blog hop at Just Inklined.   This month, Jak is our lovely hostess and she has chosen a Monotone Theme.  Just to make sure that you don't miss any of the stops and the wonderful DT creations, I have listed the order below.

Jak, Lori, Joyce (that's me), Gaynor, Karen J., Dawn, Tammy, Tangii

And be sure to leave your comments along the way, for your chance to win one of the mystery spot prizes!


I must admit I like to see a bit of humour in a birthday card....at least for the ones that I give. (lol)  This is one of the newer images, titled Weighty Wendy, isn't she a hoot!  Just a simple birthday message for the outside, but I'll be sure to find something cheeky for inside.

She was nice and easy to colour up, and I've gone again with the 'out of the box technique' using my Spellbinder's Labels Twenty Two die.  I've traced the inner edges of the die to create the borders.  The coordinating papers are from the MME, and the flowers are handmade.   A doodled border and a couple of die-cut corners finishes it off and pulls it all together.

I do hope you enjoyed your visit, with both me and my creative teamies, and if you are so inklined....have a good day at the gym!  (ha ha)

    Just love her to pieces. Your coloring goes great with the them without being boring. Your layout and background paper are the perfect choice.

    This reminds me so much of when I used to go to the gym, although, she makes it look a lot easier than it was. Great fun looking card.
