A Perfect Day

Good morning everyone, and welcome to another weekend.  We are in the middle of a hot spell right now, with plenty of humidity.  Not complaining though, but very thankful for air conditioning!  Just think, in six months time we'll be in the middle of winter......cold, cold, cold....ugh!


Today's card is perfect for the season, and we would all like to look like this as we enjoy a summer picnic! I've coloured the Crisalis Classics stamp...A Perfect Day, using water colours for a nice soft look.  I've than edged with distress ink to match the paper in behind. 

The sentiment is from a set by Whimsy Stamps and you will see a few stars and scattered gem stones to set the mood, along with a long strip of gemstones to add some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by today, and have a lovely weekend.

Some challenges for my card:

Craft Stamper - Take A Stamp - Anything Goes
One Crazy Stamper - Anything Goes
Penny Black and More - Anything goes with a sentiment 
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Sparkle And Shine
Bizzy Bec's - Anything Goes
That Craft Place - Challenge For All Crafts - Words

Clean and Simple in Green

Well, it's that time again....for another challenge at Charisma Cardz.  Nice and easy, we are looking for cards with a Clean And Simple style.  So today, there's no colouring on my card....just some stamping and some stenciling.


This is a new stamp that I've added to my collection (Scots Pine), and it has such lovely detail.  No ribbons or embellishments, just a stenciled border for a bit of added interest and a pretty sentiment.  I think I'll have to do more of these....really CAS!

Last minute gift holders

I think I am running a bit behind this year!  Not so much with the shopping, but with the presentation.  I've bought a number of tickets over the internet, but when the gift is just a piece of paper.....something else is definitely needed.  I've made four, so far, and still need to come up with three more.  In copying the same design, thankfully they are not taking too long.



Here I've used some toppers from Crafter's Companion, that came on a CD with the Digital Crafting magazine that I purchased.  Perfect for some quick makes when needed.  For a change, I took the photos among my Christmas village, which I also set up today.

These were basically made with a half sheet of OLD scrapbook paper, folded and lined with a complementing paper.  The bottom edge is also folded and fastened with double sided tape.

Each one is different, but basically the same concept.  One of them has some ribbon, others have pearls or gemstones, some use peel-offs, and for some I've used punches.  The paper folds and tucks in behind nice and neat.  If you have any questions, just drop me a line in the comments.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you are a little better organized than me!  Take care, and all the best for the holidays!
