A Day At The Beach

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the month so time for the August Card Chain Challenge reveal.   Another month and 24 amazing cards have winged their way around the planet.  Some of them a little slower than usual, but the good news is a few that have been in limbo for weeks, in some cases months, have started to get through.  Don't give up hope!!!  Never give up hope.  Here's the card I sent to Robyn in Australia. 

Always lots of options available when you join the Card Chain Challenge and I used the sketch with the summer and pets options.  Friendship is of course always implied.......

Cream square base card with a layer of patterned paper from a Simon Says Stamp monthly kit from long, long ago.  The cute pup is also from Simon Says Stamp, one of their fabulous Frenchie stamps.  I coloured with distress markers and gel pens.  The shells are a Honey Bee stamp and the sentiment is cut from a Norwegian designer paper sheet.  I thought it was close enough to the Australian equivalent that it would be self explanatory.  Hope you do have a fantastic day Robyn.

Hop over to the Card Chain Challenge blog for the whole amazing, fabulous awesome REVEAL. 
If you would like to join the fun the SEPTEMBER SIGN UP is open until the 6th.
See you there............

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

How Merry Is Your Moose?

Hello Welcome.  I have been working on this one for a few days cos it just would not come together.  Then this morning Mr Mojo says, tweek that, add this, perfect!!!!   The challenge was set by Jo at Christmas Kickstart and the theme was Christmas Cheer aka Alcohol.  You had me stumped for a bit Jo, but we got there in the end!!!!

I stamped the cocktail glass from Gummiapan and coloured it to resemble a Snowball.  It should be a bit more cloudy, but we are going to go with it.  The Moose and Merry Christmoose sentiment from Taylored Expressions Look Who's Talking set fitted perfectly!!!!  Then, just to clarify and bring it all together, I added this perfect little rider.  So come on!  Let's make Snowballs!!!!!

Advocat, Sparkling Lemonade, Crushed Ice, Lime and a Cherry!

I used distress markers to colour and a little neon green gel pen on the lime slice and glitter glue to help indicate crushed ice.  The glitter isn't showing so much, but it looks pretty sparkly in the real. 

Thanks for visiting.   Hic!!  Hugz

Fireworks Over Pisa

Hello.  Welcome.  

I bought this stamp set for this stamp.  A Leaning Tower of Pisa birthday cake.  How cool is that.  I've gone a bit crazy with the colours and bling, but it's a celebration, so let's go for it.

I stamped the birthday cake and sentiment from the Stamplorations World Birthday Cakes set on my tag, masked, sponged some plumeria ink then used Stamplorations Swirly Blooms stencil and bright distress inks.  Cool.  I made a pennant using patterned paper and twine.  I used a stripey drinking straw across the bottom and also behind the pennant.  

Then I blinged all over with the gold glitter glue.  Happy Cake Day!!
