Red White and Blue over at Morgans ArtWorld

So with July upon us, over at Morgans ArtWorld we are supporting the patriotic cause this fortnight with a theme of a Red / White and Blue scheme. So I decided to put my own spin on it using Winter 10.

You don't have to use die cuts in the original shape, I have used label 28 but trimmed the bottom circular section off, this allows the shape to suit my image better.

Papers: KlouiseDigiArt snowflakes and stars digi paper.
Stamps: Morgan Fitzsimons Winter 10, sentiment from Spellbinders heirloom ornaments stamp set.

Diecut Divas in July

This month over at Diecut Divas we want to know how you spend your time in Summer. Are you beach side or picnicing or just  enjoying every moment of sunshine, that is what my summer is about. One of my kids favourite thing to do is blow bubbles so when I saw this Art by Miran image Bubbles Brea, I instantly thought of afternoons in the backyard with bubbles and sunshine.
