Summer Fun

Hello again Sassy friends! I am stunned that it's almost the end of the month. The shortest day has come and gone so we can all start to look forward to summer days once again!

I've created this layout with Crate's The Pier. These instframes must be some of my fave embellishments ever. I've backed this one with one of the journalling cuts and popped some ice creams which I've fussy cut from a sheet of 'Frozen Treats' and popped them onto some foam tape for dimension.

One day I will get over my dislike for my handwriting... until then, I continue to hide my journalling. This time behind the main image. You'll notice I've stuck a wave shape sticker inside the frame too for some playfulness. Those groovy wood glasses are from Basic Grey 'Hipster'.

Living in beautiful Queensland - I'm thankful I don't have to wait for Summer to dip my toes in the sand.

Wishing you a crafty weekend. Hopefully you get the chance to dabble and enter our June challenge which closes on the 30th. There are loads of things I have to be thankful for - have a go at popping some of yours down and linking them up!

Till next time!

Cake and Jelly

Hello Sassy friends!
Hope this fine Friday finds you well.
My dear son has been an absolute trooper this week, undergoing an adenotonsillectomy and grommet insertion, so it's pretty much a free-for-all when it comes to his diet at the moment - anything goes, as long as it goes down!
So it is with jelly on the brain, that I've created some sweet treats that could inspire your next party, using Crate's The Pier...

I started off creating a birthday card, and built on from there. I've used some Kaisercraft card stock in Coconut and Spearmint for the base, and backed it with some 'Heatwave' patterned paper. I cut the text and ampersand with my Silhouette (that ampersand is a bit of a fave at the moment!) Behind it, I've adhered a few sequins for a bit of sparkle. I've reversed a couple of the doilie shapes from the Pier ephemera pack and stitched around the card, without thread.

I found this sweet box die in the Silhouette online store. I've used some 'Frozen Treats' paper for the lid and some Coconut cardstock for the bottom.

The tag has some bits from the Pier ephemera pack, small title stickers and some Maggie Holmes for Crate, gold glitter thickers.

Using my Cameo again, I've cut some cupcake wrappers from card stock and made a couple of little cake toppers from various bits. This one uses of the umbrella shapes from the 'Heatwave' paper. I've punched a hole in the centre, popper a starburst sticker from the 'border labels & titles' stickers and accented with a sweet glitter asterisk.

This one also used an umbrella shape, mounted onto some 'Sunshine' paper and accented with some mini alphas and a spot of Stardust Stickles.

We've had some great entries for our June challenge "Today I am thankful"... why not give it a go!

Till we meet again!

Radical fun in the sunshine

Hello Sassy friends! Hope you have all had a wonderful week so far and are looking forward to some 'me-time' over the weekend. With all the rain we have had, there might be a different sort of pool starting in my backyard soon! I'm sharing a fun summer layout today using Crate's The Pier collection. I've been dying to scrap this pic for a while now - one of my all-time faves for sure!

I've cut a recess into the paper and mounted the image underneath for depth. I couldn't resist that gorgeous pool + sun tag in the ephemera pack! Instead of tying twine to your tags, have a go at sewing them directly onto your layout!

Double mounting different stickers can add interest.

Those boardshorts started life as a tag, but I have trimmed them to fit inside the insta frame and popped some acetate over the top to create a faux slide. I've used Versamark and clear embossing powder to give the impression of water stains.
