Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Christmas in July 2021!
Today I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players . For this very CAS take, I used the fabulous Poppystamps Whittle Reindeer die with a Memory Box sentiment and a Creative Expressions embossing folder.

Happy Friyay everyone!
So, as I was indulging in a little crafty retail therapy today, I remembered that I bought a beautiful Adriana Poppystamps foliage die last month and hadn’t yet used it! So I knew I wanted to change that this weekend! I thought that it would work well with the colour combo from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (red, green, kraft and pink).
I coloured the die cut with distress ink and then added the Memory Box seed stems and the Just Because Posh Script sentiment.

Hello again!
Next up is my entry into one of my favourite sketch challenges, Freshly Made Sketches.
I’ve always loved dry embossing but haven’t used my folders much since I switched to the Gemini Junior die cutting machine. I could never get the plate/sandwich quite right. Last week, I decided to get my old manual die cutting machine out again, so I cleared some space in my craft room and set it up. So far, so good! The Gemini will continue to be my favourite machine for die cutting but it was so good to get a decent first impression with an embossing folder again!
So the reason for this little back story is that I was able to quickly emboss this sweet flowery scene with my new set up using an older Couture Creations folder. I added some die cut butterflies (Stampin Up, Memory Box and Simon Says Stamp) and a sentiment by Clearly Besotted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again everyone!
After a lovely day yesterday celebrating a dear friend’s special birthday, I finally got to my craft table this weekend to make my entry into the current Color Throwdown which has a nautical palette of light grey, aqua and navy.
I paired a brand new Memory Box die set (Marina Sailboats) with an older die (Silent Snowfall) that I repurposed to represent water! The sentiment is from an older Simon Says Stamp set called Sailing.
I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘feeling blue’.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Next up today, I’m playing along with the colour challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
Many many years ago, I made MANY mini slim line cards, but I haven’t made one for years! Luckily I kept all the card bases I bought and dusted them down for today’s quick CAS card. I used dies by Memory Box, coloured with distress ink, together with a sentiment from The Ton Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday everyone!
First up today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a stunning colour combo this week (aqua, ice blue and pale green).
I had one idea for this card, but then couldn’t find the stamp I wanted to use – goodness knows where it is! So I quickly had to pivot to a quick CAS card using Memory Box dies (under the Sea Collage, Delicate Sea Fan and Swimming Seahorses). Although the blended background turned out a little darker than I wanted, I’m happy that I was able to play with my new Salvage Patina distress ink again, it’s such a pretty colour!
I’m also entering this into the current Memory Box challenge where the theme is water.
Thanks for stopping by!
