It's Vacation Time

Well for one little lady its vacation time

Unfortunatly it's not me... Sobs loudly...

The other morning I was sitting having a cuppa and deciding on my next Vera lane image that I was going to colour up ,when this little lady hopped straight into my basket begging me to take her home would of been rude of me not too

Sooooo I made her her own little suitcase and guess what she has gone to live with my Granddaughter who fell in love with her.

I loved making this up when I could eventually get the suitcase straps to fit right - I had cut them in completly reverse colours but it took me a while to figure out

You can find little Miss Traveler in the Etsy Store right here

She comes complete with a camera, postcard, map and three different sentiments.

I added in the film roll where I shrunk her right down to fit

I also added a postage stamp which I used one of the Dilly's Girls.

I coloured up using Distress Inks and used some Distress Oxides on the postcard and sentiment

I had endess fun with this

Without rain there'd be no rainbows

Without rain there'd be no rainbows

What a fabulous sentiment stamp , it was a freebie with

Simply Cards & Papercraft issue 189

Not sure it is in the shops yet as I get mine on subscription which is normally a few days ahead of the shops ~ mine arrived this morning full of stunning stamps and a couple of dies

Deciding on a circle easel which is probably my favourite card shape

I cut out using lilac card stock

I then used Roaring Twenties double sided 12x12 card pack ~ I have had this quite a while but first time it has been used I love it so much.

Magnolia Tilda was coloured using distress inks

I then added extra raindrops and grass (two of the other freebie stamps from magazine)

I used the die from Polkadoodles Elegant Nest

Die Cut the clouds (freebie) I also die cut lamplight and some random stars

I cut an umbrella on my portrait and shrunk it right down to fit my card

The sentiment was finished using rainbow Distress Oxides.

I added some flowers, sparkly nettting and dew drops

and finished of with some lovely Morlaix Cotton Lace from Crafty Ribbons

Smiley Sunday

I have called my post Smiley Sunday each time I see these characters I smile

They are so nice to just sit and chill and colour up

and that is just how I spent my Sunday morning

I was up early and got all Granddaughters uniform ironed for school next week and then I gave myself the rest of the morning off to create in my happy place

And this is what I created (there are lots more photos in my little slideshow below)

I have used Distress Oxides on the background along with a brick mask.

I used random stamps for the stars, circles, brave and worthy

I did a few doodles around the edge

and then it was time .....

To colour up my Vera Lane Studio images

The Blue Flower, Fairy , House and sentiment are from The Fairy House Collection

The Bee is from Sprinkle and Sparkle

The other 2 flowers are from the Bloom collection

And the little Bird has flown over from Small things matter

All were coloured with Distress Inks

A splash of glitter was used on her wings and wand and on the little Bee
