A Shaker Card

Since Summer started, I just haven't been able to keep up with my normal routine of card-making!!! Don't know if this is just me. It's either going out, BBQs, beach and lots of other stuff... besides work and housework aaarrgghhh!!! Hate hate hate this!!

Well, today I've done a card and did something different too, and done a shaker card. I decided on these after I saw some challenges around for holes, acetate and stamping instead of designer paper. Hope you like it.



The stamp is Roshell With Brolley which I won from a Challenge at the Crafty Pad Challenge Blog about two weeks ago. Isn't she a cutie? I stamped her two times, coloured her with my promarkers and popped up Roshell and the umbrella as well. The grass, I cut that, the sentiment I wrote that after writing it with my pencil first and the acetate... that is recycled. I don't remember what I bought but I just kept that little piece of acetate from the packaging. I love recycling and am always looking at what I could keep from packaging and anything that comes to my hand :)



Here are my challenge for today:

1 - The Crafty Pad Challenge No 79 - COLOURS YELLOW AND ORANGE + HOLES
2 - Sentimental Sundays Challenge No 11 - I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
3 - Cupcake Craft Challenge No 99 - ACETATE
4 - Polka Doodles Challenge No 28 - STAMP AWAY... for the stamping on my background
5 - Totally Gorjuss Challenge No 39 - THINKING OF YOU
6 - Stamp Scrap and Doodle Challenge - ANIMALS

Thanks for looking today.
