Sweet Shell FREEBIE and WINNERS for Word Art from Create with TLC

Oh happy day! 

I have two great things which start this BC Day Holiday Monday on a positive note - I get to give something I created away and I get to give something away Paulette from Create with TLC created too.  Thank you so much to all of you who visited and took the time to leave us some comment ♥.  Our two lucky winners are:

Linda Ramirez

and

Carol O

Can you both please contact  Paulette (Create with TLC)  at her website so she can arrange to get you your winnings!  I had such fun teaming up with Paulette and hope we can do this in the future as well.

One of Paulette’s blog followers, Carol, created this TOO FUN card using my Mosquito stamp and Paulette’s word art!

 

My friend Debbie (who I met through the Silhouette Plus forums and who ROCKS with designs and ideas) made this SO WONDERFUL crab card from my CRABBY files!  Y’all have NO idea how tickled I am to see what you make!  Thanks Debbie!  I’d love your feedback on the “usability” of my files and if there is anything I can do to improve them.  Thanks for sharing!  Debbie has some lovely files too if you comb through her blog - draw a hot coffee and pull up a chair!

In case you’re wondering exactly what BC Day is all about, this sums it up:

“The first Monday of August is known as British Columbia Day, BC Day or B.C. Day, in the province of British Columbia. It is a statutory holiday and gives Canadians in the province the chance to celebrate their achievements or relax with friends and family members.”

I’m spending it at home, with my handsome Mr. and it will involve at points some crafting (yay!) a workout (GROAN!) and some good food (to wear that good food off) If you’re a fellow British Columbian I “toast” to a happy and relaxed day to get your week started and make the rest of  your work week all the shorter and therefore pleasant!

The Lord bless thee,

and keep thee,

The Lord make his face shine upon thee,

and be gracious unto thee:

the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee,

and give thee peace.

I just had to whip up another summer type design and cutting file, it was stuck in my head in the middle of the night and I was propelled out of bed at like 2 a.m to “get it down on paper” which in today’s technology meant, for me, to open up Photoshop and Silhouette Designer edition and work it all out.  I’m tickled with how it looks!

 

I made this Sweet Shell file.  The challenge was to get it “pleated” looking and I achieved this through a combination of dashed fold lines and I also used the round part (not the hook) of a small crochet needle to round the paper between the folds.  I left the bottom of the shell flat so it sat on the card nicely (after I stamped it inside of course)

 

I placed a mother of pearl element inside with this sentiment.

Supplies:

I cannot identify the paper as I used scraps from a bin I had going.  The ribbon is a velveteen I bought at a dollar store, the pearl the same.  Bits and bobs, that’s what I’ve got going on here.  The stamp, however, I do know is from Fiskars.
