Elizabeth and I have some inspiration for you.

I lifted Erica’s layout Fly:

Elizabeth lifted Little Wise Guy:

Last month’s winner is heathergw who made this adorable page Girly Girl of the Year. Congrats Heather!

Now, you may have noticed that all of us on Dani’s team rather like using her designs in different ways (did you see Becky’s Pop pops?!) - so this time I decided to try to ‘covert’ another one of her images into a gift presentation idea.

I decided to make a tea & biscuits (cookies for those in the US – and shortbread to be even more precise!)  mini gift for a friend who’s been a little under the weather recently.  Here’s what I came up with: 

…and a peek at the teabag gift bag’s reverse:

This whole gift set was made (naturally!) using Dani’s delightful Tea For Two.

I modelled the gift bag for my selection of fruity tea bags, on Dani’s teabag image, and used her cute cookie image as a ready-to-go gift tag.

As the original design was just a little too plain for a gift bag, I used the gorgeous floral paper from Dani’s kit for the bottom of the bag – deliberately overlaying it with the plain yellow paper so the flowers were visible but not too dominant.  Got to love Photoshop – its a fabulous tool for playing about with until you get just the look you want!

I think this mini gift set will cheer my friend up nicely – especially so, if I present it with a cute shaped teacup card like I made in June!

Bye for now,

Sara

PS  I used DIY Printable Templates:HouseBags by Heather Roselli to make the gift bag, and the font you see is Pea Chelsea K script.

Introducing Pop Pops – for those many times when a mustache and a sucker are the perfect combination.

Mustache and tag made using He’s the Man by Dani Mogstad and Traci Reed:

Now a few photos – evidence to show the mischief and laughter that ensues once these Pop Pops are popped in one’s mouth.

If you would like to make some of your own, download the stache and tag here.  There is also three on a 4×6 in the same file, all ready to print and get the mischief started.  Cut out the hairy goodness and punch a hole the size of your sucker stick.  So many different options there.  The suckers I used were between the 1/8th inch and 3/16th inch holes in my puncher.  If the hole is too small the mustache rips, if the hole is too big the mustache slips and slides.  My brilliant hunny came up with the perfect solution.  Punch the hole once and then punch the edge of it slightly again to make the perfect size hole.  He thought it was obvious.  Me not so much; thankful for him.

One last view of this delightful confection all wrapped up and ready to gift- just to make sure the fun does not end.

So enjoy what’s left of your summer and we can’t wait to see what you create for us!! Happy Scrapping!!!

This gorgeous kit is overflowing with cute characters and lovely papers, in a colour pallet simply perfect for both boys and girls!

I couldn’t resist playing about with the monkey image in Photoshop to create this fun card: 

Remember, never be afraid to play with the papers and elements from a kit: magnify in or zoom out;  turn, crop or cut here and there.  Have fun adding your own twist and take on an image to ultimately make it uniquely yours!

Next, how about a silly play-on-words with this Happy Birthday – ooops, I mean Hippo Birdy card?  I think this card showcases the colour scheme of this kit very nicely:

I do love the fresh combination of the orange, turquise and lime!  …and here’s one final card to convince you that you do neeeed this kit!

A peek-a-boo card for a young child, made by simply combining Don’t Feed the Animals with the paper strip templates from Dani’s Scrappers Toolbox: Creative Crops 2.

So why not treat yourself to this kit and have some fun playing and creating with it!   Enjoy the rest of your Summer Holidays :)

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands.

This magical magnetic creation is made using Dani’s “Take Me Away” vacation kit:

The other supplies needed are magnetic tape, scissors, a magnetic tin (mine is recycled), and sand:

I made a fun label and printed my sandcastle sections and decorations.  Then I stuck them to the magnet strip and cut around.  I also glued some real sand onto the castle pieces.  I got a big bag at Walmart for $3 and used the rest in a tub for more sandcastle building.  When I had a nice size collection of pieces I put them in the tin.

Here are a few photos to get an idea of how big the tin is:

Wow, my girly was being a ham:

The kit was then ready to be assembled as desired.

Here’s just one of many possibilities:

Here’s to a summer filled with sandcastle building (real and magnetic)!
