Hello and good morning from a wet and windy Merseyside!
It's just a respite we are told ... the hot weather is set to return for a while ...
But over at City Crafter it's still good weather
Our lovely hostess this week is Wendy
and her chosen theme is
"Summertime"
(Create a project that has something to do with Summer)
I made three postcards
I had some scene paper by Kanban in my stash which was just perfect for these ... I scanned the paper into my computer so I could print it to the scale I wanted and also add a little bit of effect on the first card
This was printed onto canvas paper after I added the vignette effect in iPhoto
I then stamped, coloured and paper pieced the little boat ... stamped some birds, a sentiment and added a few shells
The second one I printed onto ordinary card stock and stamped a little deckchair which I coloured and paper pieced ... a few embellishments just add a little extra to the postcards
This last one was again printed onto canvas paper ... love that stuff ... and simply stamped with a little embellishing too
The reverse of the postcards looks like this
A little bit of stamping onto kraft coloured card stock and some creativity in photoshop
I've realised that I have a 'thing' for all things beach themed ... Guess you realised that too from my last post ... So I am really looking forward to seeing your summer themed creations
And talking of postcards ... my blog friend Barbara took a trip to Paris recently and sent me this postcard
Completely unexpected ... Thank You Barbara ... it was so sweet of you to think of me!
Our Guest Designer this week is our winner from week 158 - Rina Meyer of the Scrapbook Fashionista - please hop over to her lovely blog and take a look at her beautifully embellished designs

Have a beautiful day
