The design team and I were fortunate enough to be given these fabulous images to play with this week and we absolutely love them!

I chose to use Beach Huts

The card base and the tri coloured strip in the centre are pieces from a card kit my Mum gave me and I added some paint peeling timber paper from my stash.

I brought the colours of the papers together in the beach huts with my Copics.

I'm not particularly happy with my sky background, think I'm going to have to hit my teamie Chrissy up for some lessons!

But over all I'm really pleased with how this card turned out, it appeals to my post holiday state of mind, lol.

I do hope you can all come on over to 

MAKE IT MONDAY 

this week and join in the fun.

I loved to come see what you have been creating!

Before you go though, I would like to share with you an entry from last week's link up that was a real stand out for me.

It was linked up by

Lola at Little Card Maker

Isn't sweet?! Love the simple design and brilliant colouring, really pops!!

Thanks for sharing with us Lola.

Bye for now!

A word from Stamping Shanni

Howdy Peeps been busy with school holidays and lots of other things like my annual Stampin' Retreat. . . will post some photos soon.  Had a brilliant time with heaps of creative people, not much sleep and lots of laughs.

Big NEWS of the moment. . .

Stampin' Up! has outdone itself with a promotion for October. . . a free spool of the new 2012 In Colour stitched satin ribbon with every purchase over $60!* 

So if you place an order this month for say $125 you are entitled to two spools, $180 means three spools etc.  You get my drift. . .

And the great part is that the ribbon is divine! I love this ribbon it is so luxurious and comes in five beautiful colours - Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit (which is a fresh green colour, not yellow as everyone presumes). Of course it matches the new In Colours perfectly and that means easy to combine and match projects - Yay!

There is over 9 metres on every spool.  The satin ribbon is fantastic for bows and knots and sits perfectly on all projects.  The other amazing attribute is that it is nice and light so it won't weigh your projects down - Stampin' Up! are really clever about their embellishments. . . they are always thinking of ways to help their customers.

Another neat thing is that the ribbon is 1cm wide (3/8") and has four rows of evenly spaced white stitching through the centre of the ribbon that makes for a great contrast and helps to marry it in with projects.

So contact me today to place your order.  I can have your products shipped directly to your door without any fuss or delay.

Spool-delicious!
