Creative Fun:)

Welcome back to Sandybeaches:) Today I got a little creative and made a  'Just for You' card that is inspired by this weeks colours over at  Festive Friday Sketches  and the theme at Just Add Ink of "Just Add Jodene Tripp" and the idea of 'casing' a card to create a card...pop over to Jodene's blog here for a lookie:)
So with Stampin' Up! papers, ribbon, stamps, punches and a dash of Copics colouring and Cuttlebug embossing...and a whole lot of fun and relaxation...here it is:)
The second card that I played along with today is inspired by the piggyback challenge over at Unscripted Sketches this week of using their sketch #155 and theme of 'something recycled':)
I've used natural recycled cardstock and ribbon that I had in the crafty stash to base my card around, Cuttlebug embossing, Copics colouring and Stampin' Up! stamps, ink, paper and punches...and wahlah a cutsie little 'hoot-hoot hooray!' to celebrate a happy May birthday:)
Here is a gorgeous little photo that Kiddlywink1 took with her underwater camera during the holidays...I just had to share this magic moment:) With much relief the underwater camera still works after being wet for the first time!
The last photo is a one to show just how relaxing our school holidays have been:) Just a little fishing and a whole lot of relaxing!! It's hi ho, hi ho and back to work tomorrow:)
