Underwater with the Fishes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We had a busy day on Saturday and on Sunday we had a quiet day at home. I have been making lots of things that I can't share yet and there are exciting things in the pipeline. So I might not be blogging as much. I don't expect anyone will mind. I also have one week of invigilating left. 

A little while ago I had a play with my underwater dies. Here is the result. 

I think the backing paper was leftover from another project. I do like making thinner cards from time to time. 

The fish were cut with off cuts of designer paper. I had to raid my scraps of green paper bag for the seaweed. 

I added the happy birthday later. I often leave my cards on display. Sometimes when I look at them I can see what might need to be added it is also a way to check that nothing drops off the card. 

This is another card for my stash. 

Have a good week 

Happy Crafting

Under the Sea themed Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have a few things going on. One of which for me is having a haircut. My hair is straight and has just got longer. I have been cutting my own fringe. I think I have managed quite well during this time. It will be nice to have my hair all tidied up by the hairdresser. I might just keep it a bit longer though as I quite like it. 

Back in May I made this under the sea themed card. 

I used a background that I made a while ago with Brushos and Pixie Powders. No one talks about them much now. I will still be using them as I have lots. The die set I used is the Under the Sea Die set  by Memory Box and it came free with a magazine. 

I used up so many scraps of card making this card. Everything that was die cut came from the scrap pile. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Under the Sea with the Fishes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you doing?  I wonder what will be announced on Sunday. We are still plodding along. I am growing lots of things in the garden. Some of them we will be able to eat. The people over the road have started selling eggs which is nice. They have got ten chickens which was a real surprise for us.

A little while ago I treated myself to Issue 64 of Die-Cutting Essentials magazine. I really like the look of the Under the Sea die set that came with that issue.

Yesterday I had a chance to play and this is what I made.

This quite a small card and I really did raid my scraps pile to make it. I used leftovers of two of my inky backgrounds. 

I only used the die set to make this little under water scene. The little fish are so cute. 

This will be another card for my stash. I am sure someone will like to receive this card. 

I hope you have a good day. I think there are lots of online celebrations to join in with. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
