Good Morning Everyone and Happy Saturday.
I hope you are all well and have some time to relax over the weekend.
We have a busy couple of days with cricket matches so fingers crossed for some dry weather.
Today is the start of a new A Gem of a Challenge
We are trying really hard to encourage some good weather with a fabulous theme
Bring on the Sunshine !!
The prize for the winner will be.....
2 Individual Digi images
(NO SETS, PERSONALISED WATERMARK'S OR SENTIMENT SETS)
of the winners choice from PINK GEM DESIGNS.....
It was nice to pull out some sunny paper and make a cheerful card. The cute Cartwheel Jodie was a joy to colour and I have used one of my favourite digi sentiments also from Pink Gem available here.
Items used :
Digi Stamp - Pink Gem Designs ~ Cartwheel Jodie coloured with Promarkers
Digi Sentiment - Pink Gem Designs ~ Sunshine and Smiles
Papers - Doodlebug Design ( sorry don't know the name it was loose in my box)

Distress Ink - tumbled glass (for sky)
Button from Stash
Over at A Gem of a Challenge you will be able to see the wonderful sunny creations by the rest of this week's design team and also see who were the winners of the last challenge
I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
Charisma Cardz - Here comes summer!
Crafty Sentiments - Buttons ( I have only used one - hope that is okay?)I ♥ Promarkers - Anything Goes
Whimsy Stamps - Anything Goes
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog today. I really appreciate it and love read any comments you may wish to make
Just to let you know that I will not be around so much next week as I hope to spend some time with my children. I will be catching up with my commenting in the evenings though as I don't want to miss what you have all been up to!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend
Bye for now

ReplyDeleteSunny and Cheery is right, Sue! I'm sorry you don't have much sunshine there. Last night I went swimming after 7PM and the sun had heated the pool to 93F! It felt great on my sore muscles. Wouldn't it be great doing the cartwheels again? I miss doing things like that. Love those darling little butterflies in the background and the pretty grass which is the same color as the green in your DP. Darling card! hugs, de
