How has your week been? It has just been so hot. I do find it hard to get on with jobs. My laptop gets very hot which makes it hard to use in the hot weather. On the plus side I have been able to test clothes that I am taking to Malta to see how comfortable they are in the heat.
I am hosting the new challenge that starts at the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Summer Fun. The fabulous sponsor is Paper Shelter.
The backing paper at the backing was an old one from back when I made a card for the long gone Quick Cards Made Easy magazine. I added bunting at the top made with Tattered Lace dies.
Our fantastic sponsor has wonderful images in the store. If you click on the logo you will be taken there.
This image is called Summer Attitude and she is available HERE. There seem to be quite a few images on sale at the moment including this one. I found an image to use as a background and I used the pre-coloured image from the set.
I have been asked to make a tropical themed wedding card and I bought the Tim Holtz Tropical Sizzix die set for that card. It was so good to be able to try our the dies on this card as they fitted with the image so well.
The trees, flowers and leaves all came with the same die set.
Watch out for a tropical themed wedding card in the future. It would be so lovely if you could join in with the challenge at Crafty Catz.
I would like to join in with the following challenges;
Have a great weekend.
Happy Crafting
