Summer Love!

 

I teach a young lady Scrapbooking on Saturdays and for a bit of a change we decided to try some "She Art".  We both made a self portrait, here's mine! :) If  your not familiar with "She Art" then its best to check out Christy Tomlinson's  creations as they are very inspiring.

Christmas in July

 

It was a bit of a challenge creating a Christmas tag on one of the hottest weeks this Summer!  We are having a serious heat wave in Southern Ontario and I can't wait for it to break!.

It's nice to have a few Christmas items made ahead of time. Especially when time is so precious around the holiday season. Thanks for stopping by, hope your keeping cool!! :)

Summer Strawberries & a card :)

Its strawberry season here in Toronto and  I just picked up a flat of these sweet berries from our local farmers market at the GO Train station.  They smell amazing and I will be making Strawberry Jam today and tomorrow with them. Also,  our raspberries in the back yard are just starting to ripen and I will start picking and flash freezing them every day, to make  Jam in about a months time.

 

and here's a little card to share...



 

Here's a summery card I made, hope you enjoy :) I have to say that I now love decorating the inside of cards and just might do this every time.... I'm hooked !!!

Gotta run and tend to the yummy berries :) hope you enjoy the day :)

Inside ...

Just a quick post today of this sweet Betty  stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie, she reminds me of a more modern Betty Boop!  I  think this will make a fun Valentines day card and will set it aside for my hubby for next  Feb 14th.  Added some heart gems along with a mix of pattern papers and sewing  stitches too!

This is a super fun image to colour and I have a few other cards in mind using this gal!

Summery Sunnie floral card

Thought it would be fun to create very Summery card using this  Kraftin Kimmies Sunnie stamp. Don't you just love her  little coconut drink,  (it really is my most favorite thing about this stamp)!! She was a lot of fun to colour and it was nice to use such vibrant colours too!

 

The inside of this card is decorated with some of the same trim details found on the outside of the card :) Also added some torn fabric in a pretty aqua that I thought may give a cool water feel to the design.

 

I bought the flowers at my local dollar store it was actually in the party  section.  I disassembled the floral necklace and restrung the flowers using a natural cord. I thought it would give a tropical feel to compliment this image :)

 

 

Other than that today  I stopped into One Crazy Stamper north of Toronto which is  very close to my fathers house (how awesome is that!)

 

 

They brought in all the new  Kraftin Kimmie stamps too! :)

 

From there we went to my fathers for Espresso! I took a picture of this gorgeous lily while I was up there and thought it would go good with this card lol ...

 

 

have a great evening:) thanks for peeking in!

Hi, I'm back with another card to share. This sweet image is another Kraftin Kimmie stamp designed by Rachelle Anne Miller  (she's just too adorable)!
 I tried to keep the image the focal point by having the background details white with a lot of texture.  The Swiss dots background paper reminds me of a soft baby's blanket and the sheer organza a ballerina's tutu.  The inside of the card has 3 balloons stamped in pink along with some white details too.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and Happy Canada Day!

Happy Camper!

Just playing around with Kraftin Kimmie's Happy Camper Stamps. Totally love the Summery images in this set! I added some plastic  kid's beads and twine as it kinda reminds me of the bracelets we use to make in camp.
