My First Shaker card!!!
Wooden picture frame
3D Card
Evening all!!!
Well I hope you all had a Happy Wednesday, I know for some of you the day is already over and for others not! I spent the morning at the doctors with Thijs....first the ENT to check on his ear tubes then to the pediatrician as he needed his shots for school.......this was not fun! Thijs gets very anxious about doctors visits....probably because he has been to way too many for a 5 year old!!! Anyway, we got through it and then stopped by the farmers market on the way home to have a delicious strawberry shake....that did the trick to cheer him up!! And me too!!!!!
OK now for the cards! It's Dustin's turn now and he has some fantastic releases to come out tomorrow.....sealife....how appropriate is that with our boating mishap!!!! Anywho, not only is Dustin producing some awesome cuties to color, now he's making backgrounds to go along with the theme.....you couldn't ask for anything better than that..... to get a complete package!!! WHOOO HOOO DUSTIN!!!
Did you get the freebies today??? I haven't had the chance to make any of them into a project yet....but I will. These are just too much fun to color. You can make so many creations with the designs and they are fab for children. I decided to make a shaker card.....MY VERY FIRST SHAKER CARD! from the fish bowl drawing, and although it was a little bit of work, I like how it came out....this one of course went to Thijs :) I then made the picture frame for him too, using the whale, shark, dolphin and crab drawings. The frame was $1 from Michael's....what a great project to make for that price, don't you think? The mermaid cat I made last week but wanted to show it with the other two projects to go along with the sealife theme.
Well if you haven't checked out Dustin's blog yet..............swim on over to check it out!!! Also, please take some time to check out the other design team members creations.....they are fabulous and well worth the visit.
I'm going to say goodnight for now as I am tired!! Will be back sometime tomorrow to check on some blogs!!!
Have a great evening if you are still awake!!
Hugs,
Charlotte

ReplyDeleteI love the Fishbowl shaker card; is the bowl a stamp? I'd also like to know where you get the digital images you have on other cards (ie the little boa feather gal) as I work mostly digital. You can see the cards I make here:

Warm wishes from Florida!
Vianna, my shaker card is a digital image from DUSTIN PIKE. You can check out his amazing work at dustinpike.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe other vintage images I use were purchased on ebay. A cd which is copyright to A. Paxton. Sorry I don't have the ebayers site name. Hope this helps.
I've just hopped over from Dustin's after buying the new release set: Just wanted to say that I love your cards, esp the shaker.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Shaker card Charlotte! Just brilliant, all your cards are just perfect.
ReplyDeletehaven't made anything for a few days as I've been away...(nothing to do with men in white coats...)
