Saturday and some more pix

Morning readers,

You might want to grab a coffee and sit down for this as there are a few more vacation pix to trawl through, if you've time. We've only been home a few days and already I'm missing the warm sunshine!

My first project is gift wrap/tag art - thought it might make a change from the cards I normally post ..... I hope you agree.


The front of my gift tag
The reverse of my gift tag
And the completed gift wrap
Materials used:
  • Kraft gift tag
  • Snowman, sentiment, "To", "From" and parcels all by Recollections and stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink
  • Derwent coloursoft and Prismacolour scholar pencils used to colour
  • Sakura clear gel glitter pen and stardust stickles used to highlight
  • For the gift wrap I used a kraft bag, ribbon and bell from HobbyLobby
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. 12 Months of Christmas - challenge No. 47 - ALL TIED UP FOR CHRISTMAS ... I went rather literally with the gift, complete with bells on!!!!
  2. Crafts Galore - challenge No. 57 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Classic Design Team Challenge - challenge No. 11 - ANYTHING GOES (My D.T.? Love To Craft Challenge Blog)
  4. A Perfect Time To Craft - challenge No. 11 - ANYTHING GOES
  5. A Bit More Time To Craft - challenge No. 80 - ANYTHING GOES

And now for some more vacation pix from my recent vacation to Florida - this time it was pumpkin carving with friends





The finished pumpkin lineup, L-R: Derek's (in the chair), ours, Brianna's, Nick's and Bonnie's
Guess it went off cold!
And then, a day at the beach


New Smyrna beach
A bit of a show off Osprey!
Canova beach - red tide everywhere so took this to show what a gorgeous day it was
Does it help if I say I only ate ¼? It was DELICIOUS though
And some sunsets


Not often you stop at traffic lights and see ... a roller coaster!

Your tag is such fun, Kathy! Mr. Snowman looks fab against the kraft background! Thank you for sharing your holiday photos! I know you always have a great time there ... and obviously delicious food!! I got your note and will be checking the mail. This time I know to hold on to it before I open it, but just until after Thanksgiving! ❤Hugs, Darnell
