Summer Distractions!

Hello to you all! 

Thanks for stopping by.  It's been a while since my last post, time is going so quickly I just can't believe it is the middle of July already! I have noticed a few other blogs have started on the Christmas card posts already, but as July is the month of my birthday (today!) then I refuse to start thinking about Christmas just yet...maybe next month!  

So, back to SUMMER! I hope you have all been enjoying the British "Heatwave" Sun, I certainly have been, it's making the fact that I haven't got another holiday booked yet not feel quite so bad! It has, however, been a little bit of a distraction from everything I should have been doing, you know like studying and crafting! The gorgeous weather, Murray winning Wimbledon, making the most of my last month's gym membership by doing as many new fitness classes as I can and an 11 hour day a week at college have meant I haven't made many but I do have a few new cards to show you today :-) 

Kicking off with a simple congratulations card using the new Time Flies collection from Craftwork Cards. I think the papers in this kit are just gorgeous, I have a soft spot for butterflies so I can't wait to play some more with this collection!




Next up are a some more cards made using the Black Magic Goodybox from Craftwork Cards

The first one uses a Happy Circular Sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley which I just had to add as I had to try out using my new circular framelits for my cuttlebug....little things! 







Finally, a card that I started a while back when I bought this gorgeous Cinderella stamp.  I'd coloured the image in using my Rose Pink Promarker and just added some spots of sparkle using diamond Stickles glitter glue, then finished off with another Lili of the Valley circle sentiment.


That's all there is for today, and as it is my birthday, I will now go celebrate! I have a few more cards to share with you but will hold them until next time, which I won't leave quite as long to post!  

Enjoy the rest of the lovely weather, it's nice to have a proper summer again at last!
