Easter Holiday Fun:)




Take a look at just how magic the weather has been for the school holidays!!! We have had a wonderful time playing and relaxing in our beautiful part of the world:) Boating, camping, fishing, snorkelling, relaxing with friends...aaaahhhh!! With a bit of a cooler change and a little bit of drizzle today I had a chance to relax a little bit more with some creative fun at the craft desk here @ Sandybeaches;)






I had a request for an engagement card for this weekend using purple and white - I popped over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday (Sketch#150) for inspiration and dusted off the craft desk:) Stampin' Up! stamps, paper and bling worked perfectly with a dash of Copics colouring and the creative sketch...and wahlah...a lovely little card to celebrate an engagement:)







The second card (for the happy couple from us) is inspired using this weeks colour challenge (#133) over at Colour Q and the sketch challenge (#120) over at Stampin' Royalty. With Copics colouring, Stampin' Up! papers, scallop punch, stamps and bling the colours and sketch came together so well:)



With family birthday celebrations I had to delve into the stash earlier this week:) These next two beauties were made at Stampin' Up! craft sessions that I had attended last year...it was nice to have these cards ready to post for Birthday wishes to special family members - "Happy Birthday to you!" I hope all is cruising along nicely in your neck of the woods! Thanks for popping in to see the latest here @ Sandybeaches:)
