Being sentimental

 Morning blogland,

It's the first Saturday of the month - July already! Whose stolen 2024, I can't believe we are 6 months in already! So that means there's a new challenge over at the Crafty Calendar Challenge blog and this month our theme is 'Add a sentiment'.  

This month our lovely sponsor is SheepSki Designs, with a great prize for the lucky winner.  As always our Challenge blog accepts all sorts of crafts - you just have to follow the theme!

I was kindly allowed to choose a digital stamp and this is the card I made with that digi:

And that's it folks - other than to say please pop on over to the challenge blog and take a look at the fab cards my Teamies have made.  It's worth the visit!

It's a dies sort of day

Good morning bloggers,

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and it's my turn to pick the challenge! Eeek!

So for this week we are all to 'Use a die'.  I thought it was appropriate choice as it's Dies to Die For who are our sponsors this time round, with a great prize on offer for one lucky winner.  As always we would like you to follow the theme and use your markers!

This is my make for this week:


Supplies Used:

Digital Stamp:
Polkadoodles - Milkshake Drink Rebel
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Woodware Craft Collection - Word Fragments 2

Dies:
un-branded stitched rectangles set
Whimsy Stamps Die Collection - OMG! Word Die Set

Anything else:
Copic Fine Liner
white gel pen
gold Sakura pen
flat back gems

I also thought it was a good idea, as the theme I picked with 'use dies' to try and use a die in a different way.  So the hand-drawn frame you can see is made by placing a stitched rectangle die on the Copic friendly card, that I use to colour on, and drawing around the inside.  I know it's not an original idea, but something I've not done in awhile.

Please, if you get a chance, head over to the challenge - my Teamies have done good with my theme! :-)

See you later,
Sarah
