This week the challenge is 

Fun In The Sun

You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!


Please pop by to see what the lovely Lee Ann and the DT have made and please leave comments XX ;-)

I made a shaker card using a used Up And Away Stamp and Coordinating Die Set and Pizazz Pieces Creative Cuts Die Set 



I coloured the little critters and balloons with Copic Markers and shaped them using an embossing tool to round them off a little bit, makes them look 'real' I then heat embossed the sentiment onto the front panel ;-) 

For the background I used a Visible Image 'Strobes' Stencil to create a sunshine effect with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks. I then added Simon's Exclusive Sunshine Sequin Mix , don't they look pretty! 

It is ages since I added eyelets to anything but thought these little blue stars were lovely! I think they should make a come back!


I used a Mama Elephant Incoming Mail Set to decorate the envelope 



So now it's YOUR turn to take out your sunny supplies and join in the fun!

This is adorable Lols, the shaker looks fab and I agree I love eyelets...although never use them anymore they really should make a come back xx

Marge said...

Oh I love how you made a shaker card using the pizza pieces dies set. It was once on my wish list and again now, hehe. The star eyelets add delightful mood to the card and I also love the panda and mailbox. xoxo

You rock shaker cards like no other, Lorraine! Evert week I learn different layouts and designs. This week, I love how you used the die in front and the star eyelets at the punched parts. The balloons so bright and colorful, and the sentiment, just what I need today! Have a lovely day. xx Ankita

Those two adorable little pals look as though they're having a fantastic trip on those fun balloons, Lols ... the background sunshine is so deliciously sparkly and shaker-y! Love how you've co-ordinated the envelope ... that tiny panda is so cute! Hugs, Anita :)
