Summer Vacation

The challenge at CD Sunday Challenge this week is 'Summer Vacation'.

I turned to my Popcorn the Bear Men's disc from Crafters Companion and chose a wonderful image from the decoupage section to make my card:

They look like they're having a great summer vacation to me!

I used an 8 x 8 card blank for my base, and chose this edging as it reminded me of ripples on water.

I embossed some blue cardstock from PaperMill using a Darice Clouds embossing folder, and the backing paper is from the Popcorn cd-rom.   I used some fabulous glitter ribbon from Create and Craft across the centre and die cut the sentiment tag using Spellbinders dies.  I added some clear gems above the fishes to represent them blowing bubbles!

Once Upon A Time

This is my entry into the latest challenge over at CD Sunday which is Once Upon A Time.  I immediately thought of some Studio Light decoupage sheets I had in my stash which were perfect for the challenge:

Lots of first uses on this card!  Yellow card embossed with my newest embossing folder, Floral Vine, from Crafters Companion.  Backing paper printed from Flowers and Friendship cd-rom from Katy Sue - this is the first time I've used the cd.  The die Snow White is sat on is Magic Mirror die from Crafters Companion, again its' first use, and I thought perfect as she is holding a mirror in her hand.  The lace border die, from Joanna Sheen, had its' first use, cut into linen white card.  The flowers are a Memory Box die, Seraphine Laurel, used here for the first time!  I added tiny gems to the centres of the flowers.
