THE STAMP FAIRY CHALLENGE #21

Hi Everyone

Hope you have had a good Bank Holiday Monday. 

Lovely weather again but still quite windy.  Daren't hang my hanging baskets out yet as I think they will be blown to pieces. 

Happy news in the House of Hearts today .. .. I won last week's Stamp Fairy Challenge .. .. and got to choose three images to play with.

I am playing along with the challenge again this week where the theme is to make a fun shaker card and using one of my lovely prizes.  





This used:

Image:  Stamp Fairy "Lenny Ladybug"
Sentiment:  Hobby Art Stamps "GR1833B" Happy Birthday
Backing Papers:  Funky Fairy "Loving it Simple Freebie" (sadly this company is no longer operating)
Martha Stewart Punch:  Daisy
ProMarkers
Beads for inside the shaker
Crystal Stickles
Glamour Dusk

Thank you for my lovely images ladies .. .. I shall enjoy using those .. .. and thank you also for my fabby blinkie .. .. ..


What a cute little chappie Lenny is .. .. .. I think he is my favourite.

The little sentiment shaker made me smile once it was finished.  It reminded me of one of those puzzles I used to have as a child where you had to move the little balls around and fit them into little holes to make a pattern.  LOL!! 

So how is everyone else doing day wise?  I have completely no idea what day of the week it is anymore!!

Seedling update!!  One of my little cucumber seeds has made an appearance today woo hoo!!

Catch you again tomorrow .. whatever day that might be LOL!!

Love

    He's a cutie and I love your shaker box - really clever to use this for the sentiment and not the main image. Haven't started making up my baskets yet (we're usually a month behind here) but I've potted on the plants this week. I've got tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes on the go in the greenhouse and sowed melons today! Back to work tomorrow! All go, isn't it?! Hugs, Tracey x

    Jules this is terrific! I think doing the shaker on the sentiment is so clever - I wouldn't have thought of that way to do the technique. Your card is just so darling. Thanks for sharing this wonderful card with us at StampFairy! Hope you join us again.

    Cute, never thought to make the sentiment the shaker but it works beautifully. The cards do remind me of a childhood toy, I think that is why I love them so.
    Thanks for joining us on the Stampfairy challenge. Carissa:)
