Glitter, glitter, glitter, everywhere...

some of it even made it onto the card!!

Hello blogworld,

Long time no see.  Been a busy week here at chez Sarah and so no time for blogging.  Have been to the beach, swimming, a kids theme park, essential food shopping and then a day at home tidying up.  Making the most of the last couple weeks of the school hols, only a week and a half left now.

Talking of only a week and a half left - I'm arranging a little candy, as thank you for bearing with the non-blogging I've been doing the last six weeks.  Parcels, various, are currently winging their way to chez Sarah and within a week I should have a little something arranged.

So the reason for this post, apart from all the waffle, is the new challenge over at Sweet Stampin which this week is 'out of the frame', which, in all honesty until someone explained it, I had no idea what that meant!!  Turns out, if you take the run-of-the-mill explanation, is something that I do a lot - where you cut your image out with your nestie (or whatever) but leave part of the image outside of the die when you cut.  Terrible explanation, better to see the card that explains better.

Our sponsor this week is:

I used:

Digi image:

Saturated Canary - Ava ( I think she might have been a freebie, either that or I need new glasses as I can't find her in the shop!).

Coloured with my Pro and Flexmarkers.

Dies (yes, finally!)

Circle nesties

Memory Box - Macarena corner

Papers:

Papermania - Blueberry Hill

Anything else?

Craftwork cards - cardblank and sentiment

Mei Flowers hearts from My Crafty Heart - such great service (next day delivery pretty much!!)

Glamour dust and Stickles glitter glue for the glittery bits.

So there we go, hope you get the idea from the pictures more than my explanation and pop over to the blog to see even better examples than mine.

Counting down the days now to school starts - partly with relief, partly with apprehension I do hope she likes Year 1. 

See you soon, 

Sarah
