Sandman on Holiday

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy July.  Wow, the year is whizzing along.  Over at Rubber Dance the challenge is Christmas in July.  We have a lovely mood board so get out your shades of sand, blue, brown and red and your beach and christmas stamps and join the fun.



I always think this girl from Take the Plunge looks like she is sprinkling a little fairy dust. I have given her a paper pieced santa style swimming suit and hat.  I used Wow Puff embossing powder to give the fluffy trim.  So here she is, on the beach, building a Sandman.  I masked off Mr Frosty's hat, cos he's on holiday.  Formal dress not required.  I stamped some snowflakes from Frosty Friends and words from Retro Beach.  I added a greeting in Norwegian from the Norwegian Christmas set.



Here's the fun moodboard for this month's challenge at Rubber Dance stamps.  We would like to see the colours and also the Christmassy beachy creation and of course some rubber stamping.  And because Bibi is feeling the joys of the season there will be two prizes this month.  So get your craft on and jingle all the way to the beach.

If you want to get some new christmas stamps Rubber Dance is offering 20% off all the christmas stamps this month.  If you are shopping for other stamps you can get 15% off with my code gail2016.  Merry merry to you all.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Sandman - perfectly normal in my world. I hope you slip slap and slopped the girl - the sun is pretty fierce Down Under, and melanoma a real problem. Thanks for sharing at Dream in Darkness
