Beach Bum Bob

Welcome to my blog today. We have been having some extreme heat the last few weeks and then the temp has dropped quite a bit today with some sprinkling of rain. Just crazy and then it's heading back up to the 30C by the end of the week at least that is better than what we've had!
Anyway, I'd better get on and share my post for the new challenge at Crafting from the Heart. We have Dr. Digi sponsoring us this time and I chose to use an image I already had.
Here is what I created.....

Recipe:
Mid Grey textured cardstock from local stationer
White cardstock from stash
Background made using copics and SU Pacific Point inkpad
Main imade is from Dr. Digis House of Stamps....Beach Bum Bob
Other stamped images are from Clear Impressions stamp sets - Sun, Sand and Sea  and Sea Breeze
SU stamp set Boatloads of Love
Sentiment is from Uniquely Creative stamp set - All Occasions
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad and SU Pacific Point inkpad
D/S tape runner

I hope to see you joining in with the new challenge. We've had a few problems lately with the link up but hopefully all is fixed now.
Thanks for stopping by.
Take Care,
Hugs, Sandy

Oh Happy Day

Hi all, well I'm really late with this post for Crafting With Friends as the owner of the blog shifted and had no internet so I am dating it with the original challenge date as that is how it is on the challenge blog.

Our sponsor is Fabrika Fantasy and here is what I made using one of the images......

Recipe: SU Real Red and various scraps of SU card to make the ground and rainbow
