Day 2: Craft something that has a summer theme
Continuing Kairen's Blogging challenge we're here with Day 2... So to
mix it up a little bit, I've created a Summer themed card below:

For this Summer themed card, I used a digital image 'Summery Mae' from
Some Odd Girl which I thought suited the theme for Day 2! I have used
papers from Dear Lizzy's Neopolitan collection from American Crafts
which has a lovely Summer theme to it and has great colourful papers
perfect for this! I have used a Kraft cardstock from Papermania as the
base, die cut a few sections of the same paper pad and also Amy
Tangerine's Yes Please collection from American Crafts - with the Sizzix
Tickets Sizzlits and the MFT Doily Dies. I fussy cut some banners at
the top of the card from the Dear Lizzy collection and the 'Hello'
sentiment is from the Greeting Farm's Hello Go Round sentiment stamps
collection. I think it turned out pretty cute and Summery and with the
weather in London brightening up, I think it's set to encourage me to
enjoy the warmth a bit more! :)
And for a bit of a bonus, the other non-crafty challenge for Day 2:
Tell us all about your favourite craft gadget and why it’s just the bees knees
It has to be for me, this baby below:
It does everything I need it to
do, it die cuts, it embosses... it's just everything I really need. I
don't own a Slice or a Cameo so for it does the job perfectly for me
without the need to plug anything anywhere and it's pretty handy for me
to carry around from room to room, so I love it. It's a great crafting
tool - I wouldn't say gadget as such because it's too big for a pocket,
but it is one of my favourite tools to have in my craft space!
Come back tomorrow for Day 3...
