Celebration of 'Summer'

Hello to everyone in blogland.

Sorry I'm only managing to post my DT cards at the minute, time is limited and I'm hoping that in the school holidays things settle down and become less manic! End of term is always busy for me as Chair of a preschool as there are so many loose ends to tie up so that September return isn't a nightmare!

I must apologise also for my lack of commenting on all your lovely work, I promise I shall be back asap!

My card this time for Fussy and Fancy is following the theme of 'Summer', such a popular one with so many lush stamps and papers out there. Our sponsors this week are MelJen's Designs - 4 digi's and Love to Stamp - $15 gift voucher! Please visit my teamies blogs if you get the chance as there work is truly amazing!

Here's a view of the wonderful dimension that a shutter card creates. Sorry if the photo's aren't that clear, I must have done them in a hurry!

It's a shutter card following the fab sketch over at Magnolialicious Highlights created by the lovely Mindy. I've created a seaside themed card, as long hot summer days are perfect at the beach! I have lots of childhood memories of beach holidays spent rock pooling, collecting shells and paddling in the sea and I try to take my children on coastal adventures as often as I can.

Supplies:

SU cardstock and Blueberry crisp papers

SU photo corner punch and leaf punch

SU linen thread

SU Seaside shell stamps

Magnolia Surfing Tilda and seaside background (sorry for not having the correct names for these stamps but haven't got time to look up)
