Crafty Cardmakers 52 – Summer Holiday Memories

Woohoo we’re back. After a much needed break, we are back with our memories of the Summer, a theme chosen by Mandy. We would love to share your interpretation of your own holiday memories with us.

We are sponsored by image to the tune of £10, so get creating ladies.

Sadly we have lost a few of our team over the holidays due to work and other commitments, Gill, Cazro and Jacki and we wish them well for the future.

I am taking over the running of the blog for a while to give our lovely Vix a much needed break from that and I shall shortly be announcing a Design Team call on the blog, and would love to be able to welcome some lovely new folks to our team. So if this interests you keep your eyes peeled please.

Right enough of the business end of things, onto my card.

CCM #52 WM

For my image I have combined three Magnolia stamps to create a beach Scene, Edwin and Tilda surfing and the beach backgound. I have coloured it with promarkers and the beach was paper pieced on from a beach background paper. The shells are from my stash as are the fabulous and real little starfish. I made the hat pins from some pearl headed pins and beads, using an earring back to hold it all in place on the pin. The sentiment has been printed onto safmat.

I hope my card reminds you of your holidays too, and don’t forget to join in the fun with your own holiday memories.

2 Sisters Challenge - #55 Friends

    This is lovely Lin. thank you for the tip about the macro button on a camera. Unfortunately at present I can only use the camera on my phone but am expecting a new camera to be delivered shortly. I will keep your tip in mind. Thank you

    This is such a pretty card and I love the added shells and tiny starfish that you have used.

    It's been great to be on the DT with you at Crafty Cardmakers but it is now time for me to move on to pastures new and let some new blood in. Good luck with running it and the new DT call, I'm sure you'll have loads of people entering.

    lots of love Mandy xxx
