Challenge – Challenges 4 Everybody

I am linking this first card up to this Challenge at Here Come the Boys – Bingo – first row across

The second card I used some of the punched out pieces from the first card for the boat. I stamped some additional boats and the sun and coloured them with markers. I also had a printed border I added to the bottom.

I am linking these upto the following challenges

I won the punch and paper (haven’t used this paper here) at Fiskars here

and here http://fiskarscraft.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/01/celebrating-10-years-with-fiskars.html. A generous prize. I couldn’t wait to use the punch – it is so easy to use.

Busy day today. Dropped DH at work in Werribee and took the children out to the Werribee Open Range Zoo. We went in the new safari bus – 4 carriages! Beautiful weather for the zoo today. School holidays are nearly over – DH goes back Tuesday, Miss 8 Wednesday and the others stagger from there over the next week.

Tomorrow I’m popping into work then book club girls are out to dinner and a movie. We are off to see the Life of Pi – that was the last book we read. Not sure the movie will be like the book any way I’ll know tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by for a peek – I enjoy reading the lovely comments you leave.

Cheers

I made this for friend’s daughter who is turning 13 today – funnily her mum and I have been friends since we were about the same age – I’m not going to tell you how long that is though!

I used Penny Black Zoophatbet, Creativ ABC stamped with colorbox heliotrope and coloured with various markers. The “S” was finished off with glossy accents. I added some Kaisercraft purple ink to the edge of the name panel with a distressing tool. Not sure what brand the cardstock and patterned paper are – just had them here! I used MFT Dienamics dies for the flowers cut in felt and SU Sizzlits Little leaves cut from CS. The flowers were finished with a mauve coloured pearl.

These are Siobhan’s favourite colours – according to my Miss S they catch the bus to school most days together.
