Life’s a Beach on the Crafty Ribbons Challenge :-)

Hi all :-) I hope the sun is shining wherever you are ,,, it is here ,,, but I am soon heading off to get drenched in the UK !!! I hope the weather changes tomorrow and stays nice for at least 2 weeks :-)

This time on the Crafty Ribbons Challenge the owner of the store ‘Ali’ has chosen the theme ,,,

SUMMER/HOLIDAY/BEACH

The prize on offer this week is this fabulous pack of ribbons !! :-)

I just HAD to use this Oh soo cute House Mouse image,, this is called Beach Bums :-),, aren’t they adorable This stamp is also available in an unmounted set from Joanna Sheen called Parasol.



I stamped the image twice so that I could tear the card along the shoreline and then pop the parasol over them to protect them from the blazing Sunshine ,,, don’t want em getting burnt !! :-) The papers are from Lawn Fawn and I used an EK Success border punch and some Robins Nest Dew Drops. I cut out the bucket and spade on the Silhouette Cameo and finished with some fab Infusion Ribbon and a Rum Punch button for the sun from Crafty Ribbons :-)



I finished the inside using stamps from the unmounted set.



I must say that I do like the smaller stamps on these sets but often the larger ones are reduced in size and are more diffy to colour, so I often ended up buying the wooden versions too.

Thanks for looking, the DT have made some gorgeous creations so hop on over to the Crafty Ribbons Challenge to see them :-)

Fabulous card, and you can't beat house mouse to make you grin. A perfect antidote to this dreary weather in the UK, and a perfectly cheery summer image.

Aww super cute, Lols.
We have just moved our hot-tub and found some tiny empty mouse nests underneath it - so I imagine this is where our mice are now - away on their summer hols. :-)
