Gorjuss Naming Day

Evening peeps.  Hope you had a good Easter and some of you lucky folks are enjoying a few days holiday.  I had good intentions of having a nice weekend of sunshine and crafting but instead ended up in bed for 3 days with suspected food poisoning - never want to see mushroom pakora ever again!!!

The new release of the latest Gorjuss Girls gave the mojo to rake out one of my favourite Gorjuss stamps bought from Funkykits.  Polka dot paper is from scrap drawer and gems and sentiment are from stash.  I added some glitter stickles to the wings for a bit of sparkle.  Tools used are Swiss dots embossing folder and oval Nesties.  The challenges covered are:-

• Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch
• Sugar Bowl - Anything Goes using a Sugar Nellie Stamp
• In the Pink - Celebrate
• Brown Sugar - Glitter
• Sister Act - Anything Goes
• Cards 4 Eternity - Baby Baby

Seashell Sanctuary

Afternoon peeps, sneaking on again today - shhhh! Don't tell you know you ...lol .... Now it was just yesterday that I spoke about me being a wee bit accident prone and so far it had been a non eventful year in that sense...well .... I spoke to soon ... This morning I noticed that the tiny tear in the kitchen limo had got a bit bigger and putting my DIY hat on thought I had nothing better to do than "fix it". My bright idea was to glue it down flat and that would be problem solved .... not quite, I forgot how quickly super glue works and so very nearly, and I mean very nearly stuck myself to the tube and the limo.  Now the floor has a ripple it! ....lol ..... my finger tips feel so weird with a rough layer of glue on them ...lol.

These clear shell stamps are in my stash but not sure who they are from.  The corrugated card is from scrap drawer and the string, seashells and charm out of my stash.  The challenges covered are:-

• Sweet Stampin' Challenge - "Oh I do like to be beside the Seaside"
