Stamp with fun #125–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend – mine was great – it just went too fast lol!  My bathroom is coming along slowly, although I have a new toilet and vanity unit *woohoo* – I think it will be a few more weeks yet though until it’s completely finished – I can’t wait! 

Onto my card and as it’s Monday it’s time for a brand new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge and this week our theme is “summer”.  I don’t think our summer is going to last much longer as the nights are beginning to “draw in” and there is a definite chill in the air, so let’s make the most of it and make a bright and cheerful summer themed card.  Here is my card:

I have used a gorgeous image from sugar nellie stamps called “cherry pip” and coloured her with my promarkers.  The papers are DCWV from the ‘sorbet’ paper pad and the cardstock is from the papermill shop.  I think the colours are really fresh and definitely summery. 

The rest of the design team have created amazing samples as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Whoopsi daisy challenge – summer fun

Stamp with fun #121–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Why does the weekend have to go so fast, I can’t believe it’s Monday morning already!!  Although it does mean a brand new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge.  This week we have a lovely theme for you of “friends” so you can make whatever you like as long as it’s for your friend!  Here is my card:

I have used two super sweet images from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Molly Spencer’ and ‘Mum Spencer’ from the ‘Spencer Family’ collection, although I made mum the same size as Molly so that they looked like best friends.  The paper, which is by doodlebug is really old and has been in my stash for ages, but I think it’s really bright and summery.  The “friends” sentiment is actually a sticker, which has been in my stash for many years, and again it’s by doodlebug.
