Summer Fun ...


is the challenge at 
this week so I decided to make my very first
mini suitcase on my Silhouette.
I must say I am really pleased with how this one turned out, think I might need to keep it!

Summer holidays was my thinking, taking photographs, the weather, eating ice cream
and sending postcards home.

The Eifel Tower & heart tag are from the Doohickey Club Vol 3
The suitcase, sun, post mark, matting & layering were all cut on the Silhouette.
& postcard stamp.
Completely hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.

The papers are of course from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

Tool Delight ...


I have an exploding box to share today, no stamps or designer papers for this one, plenty of pictures!
All elements have been cut on the Silhouette, using a variety of shapes and the plug
I created myself.  All wording as been computer generated and printed onto Safmat
to replicate a well know brand of tools!


I have used some tape measure ribbon, silver mirri embossed & hand stitched.


Raided my Husbands tool box for the raw plugs, washer, screws & fuse!
I quilled the pencil and replicated a post it note for the message.

Hopping Happy ...

Coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched as always.
The acetate spiral & matting & layering were completed on my Silhouette.

The sentiment was stamped onto Safmat for the invisible look.
