Happy Tuesday :-)  This week over on the Papertake Weekly our dawny has made us one of her fabulous sketches to follow,,, or you can choose a previous one ,, tis up to you :-)

I love the recent July Kit from Simon Says Stamp, the papers and puffy stickers are fabulous !

and here is a card made using mainly the products that came in the box :-)

I stamped a sentiment onto the typewriter paper and then used a powder tool to neutralise the sticky on the back so I could pop it up with pop dots.

Good Morning all :-) I hope you had a fabulous weekend and managed to relax and get crafty.

Summer is here and one of my guilty pleasures ( I have many,, lol ) is a Gin and Tonic before dinner ,,, in fact 6pm is gin oclock in the Aquilina household  and this House Mouse 'Splish Splash a Citrus Bath' is just up my street ,,, I think it is supposed to be lemonade :-)

I made this as a reminder for you to join us in the House Mouse and Friends 'Dies and/or Punches' Challenge

I have just got this Memory Box 'Cheers Script' die and think it will be well used !! :-)

Wicked Nauticool ,,,, :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you're all having a lovely weekend :-) I spent this morning making a couple of cards and the afternoon by the pool with my kindle,,, very relaxing and just what I needed after a hectic few days sightseeing in Rome ,,, my legs needed a rest :-)

When I saw that the theme for the Less Is More Challenge is Watercolour I just had to join in, I picked up a lovely little set of watercolors on my last trip to Simon Says Stamp and thought I should christen them :-)

I am hoping Amy will give me a couple of watercoloring lessons when she is back from Rome,, this is very amateurish, but I do love the soft effect of watercolours and I will practice :-)

I coloured the boat with watercolours and then used a yellow and red wink of stella brush over the top and added some glossy accents to the hull of the boat,,, 

Of course this Wicked Nauticool stamp set from Paper Smooches IS wicked and you really can't go wrong making a card using it can ya !! so cute ! :-)

Challenges 

ABC ,,,, 'N' for Nautical

LIM ,,, Watercolour

Cute Card Thursday ,,, By the Seaside
