My second creation for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers' Summer Blog Hop is another freebie from Limited Runs.  Nikki gave us this one for the earlier 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

My first entry in the Blog Hop is this month's Limited Runs Stamps' Facebook Progressive freebie available to all group members, join now if you aren't a member and you can also participate in the blog hop hosted by Coffee Loving Cardmakers Facebook Group

Nikki has given us a Happy and Sad Coffee Monster to work with.  She is also very generous with her images. I chose Happy.

Freebie Friday 22nd May 2020

This week's Bugaboo Stamps Freebie Friday image is "Kitty Your Purrrfect" and as soon as I saw the image, I knew I was going to use it on a scrapbook layout of my cat "Emmie".  I hope Jodie did not mind me shortening the tail a bit.  Emmie is part-manx, according to the R.S.P.C.A. rescue clinic we bought her from.  She is 4 years old.

Here is my layout.  I have not done a scrapbook layout for ages, these days usually only at weekend retreats and there certainly hasn't been any of them lately.  I really hope I can combine more of my images with layouts in the future - a nice change from cards.

Don't forget to grab your Friday Freebie HERE and if you aren't a member of our Facebook Group, head on over and join.

"Layer It Up"

SheepSki Designs Facebook Challenge this month is "Layer It Up".

For my inspiration I decided to show you a Sympathy card I made for a friend of my Mum's.  Geoff at 97 ( I think) has lost his wife Norma, who has been sick since Christmas.  They have been married over 70 years.  I chose to use "Poppies" for the card as Geoff was a veteran of World War II and the Korean War and still attends many war related groups and meetings, memorial services and anything related to his service in the war and even goes to Vietname War memorials.  My step-father actually served with Geoff in these wars as well but he has passed.   I thought the poppies would be a nice touch for him and his family. 

I have printed the image twice and layered it to a white card on the left bottom corner and then put the second image on the right with a foam tape double thickness so the right image is higher than the left.

Don't forget when you are at our Etsy shop use this discount for my blog followers.

Anything But a Card

I love making ATCs and for our Monday inspiration over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog - Anything But a Card (ABAC) I have this one to show you.

 

As I have told you before I love Stella and I have this ATC in mind for a special friend who happens to love her coffee.

I have used Stella Peeker - Magical Substance . The sentiment comes with the digi, but I added the arrow and a few more words.

Hope you like my inspiration for ABAC.

See you soon,

Anything Goes

Our Saturday challenge over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog is "Anything Goes".

Do you remember all the Rottweiler digital stamps that were introduced to the shop lately?  Well I decided to use one of these for my inspiration for "Anything Goes".

I hope to see your creation in our "Anything Goes" challenge.  Maybe I will commenting on yours!

SheepSki Designs May Blog Challenge

The theme this month over at the SheepSki Designs Blog Challenge is "For the Girlz".  The first thing that came to mind was WINE and Andrea's new image "Wine Time" was perfect for what I had in mind.  I wanted a SheepSki female in the scene too, so I looked through my SheepSki folder and chose "Hope".  Hope has two images, I decided to use the Chemistry one and started to search for quotes, and this is what I came up with.

Don't forget when you are over at the Etsy shop, enjoy this special discount
