Mid Summer's Night Blog Blitz - Day 5

Welcome to day 5 of my summer projects blog blitz.

Today's pics are featured at Urban Scrapbook in my hometown - Edmonton.

Our monthly page kit always includes an abundance of supplies to get creative with. This time it features "Lemonade Stand" by Bo Bunny. This line is a favorite of mine ( gee I wonder why) Look at these great colors! My Faves!!!

The map of Thailand is a cut file from Silhouette. Memory Box, Dees Distinctively and IO dies were also used in the layout.

Yes those are my feet in the pic chillin' at the sweet man's house on Ko Siboya, Thailand - our second home.

                                                 The kits are so full of goodies, I had enough to do another layout.

More dies and the 3D orchid die from IO. Once you figure out how the flower goes together, it looks really cool. My first thought was " how does this thing even work?" Luckily they have a youtube video on assembly. 

Thanks for looking, you can check out the other July pages from the Urban team here:

Mid Summer's Night Blog Blitz - Day 3

Hi, welcome to day 3

Here is a fun cut file I downloaded off the Silhouette store. It comes with the box card, sun, flip flops, coconut, front leaves and words.  I added in some more tropical leaves,hibiscus and palm tree using dies and rubber stamps. I think it turned out pretty great. I love the bright vibrant colors

The side panels were embossed and inked with distress inks (picked raspberry and mustard seed)

Paper is from Bo Bunny

Below is a picture of the collapsed card ready to send off to someone, but I think I'll keep this one hehehe

Stop by next time for another summer time project. See you soon...

Mid Summer's night blog blitz - Day 2

I came up with this name while sitting in the back room at work at 3:30 in the morning. I work in an inner city emergency department (no I am not a nurse). It's summer and I have been working a lot of night shifts this month covering off holidays and vacant positions. I'm not complaining, I like night shifts for the most part, however the complete lack of sleep and mixed up schedule has left me with a lot of play time in my art room. 

It's my passion to create tropical and nautical projects, so I wanted to do a blog blitz, showing off my creations. I will see how many I can come up with in the next little while

Yesterday I posted my dream vintage Shasta trailer, today I have a tropical card to show you.

The main part of the card is a Silhouette cut file. I love the outline of the hibiscus. I had a vision of a tropical sunset in the backgroud (which is another cut file) everything was cut from white cardstock and 

Colored with Distress Inks (festive berries,picked raspberry and spun sugar)

The pic below shows the frosted film I covered the background with. That allowed me to go in and color the flower with Shinhan markers.

Thanks for looking, I will be back with another project tomorrow.
