Brighter Day!

HAPPY FRIDAY.... I am so glad it is friday. Wow Wee what a week. It has been so so hot and my air conditioning has been running non stop all week. Thank God for air conditioning. I have not gone anywhere all week and sure do hope that this weekend cools just a little.

Well today I have been playing with my Love My Tapes Fabric Tapes and Lil'Inker Designs Die's. Sometimes I just start cutting and have no idea what I am creating and I have to say I used it all. I really had fun layering all three of these die's together. I think it created a fun little embellishment. What do you think?
I used Lil'Inker Designs: Sunshine small and large die, Small Bow die and Rainbows and Clouds stamp and die set. You can get them HERE. I have to say they are my favorite Dies...I can't wait for them to come out with more. I also used some of the awesome Fabric Tape from Love My Tapes. I put the fabric tape on card-stock and then used the die's and it cut like butter. I had no problems cutting it all. My new favorite thing to do. You can get the Love My Tapes HERE.

I like to share my links because there are sometimes when I am hopping around the blogs and see someone use something and wonder where they got it. That is how I found Lil'inker Designs and Love My Tapes. And I must say it was a great find.

I am entering this card into the Love My Tapes...Make a Flower Challenge.  This is my flower on a bow and topped with a cloud...

Well that is my friday so far.
It is early and still plenty of time to make another creation.
See you around blogland.
Have a crafty day.

  1. This week's been miserable heat-wise - we got promised rain on Mon/Tues, but only got a sprinkle. And we were supposed to get rain today, but now the forecast says Monday...everything is just shriveling up, including me! Blech. I'm getting up at 4 just so it's cool enough to get some crafting done (no AC except in the bedroom, boohoo).
    I love this card - isn't it fun when playing around works out beautifully?? Love the sentiment & that fabric tape looks like a lot of fun to play with!

    Have a nice weekend! At last, the sun is shining. We haven't seen the sun for weeks )-: Low temperatures and much much rain the last couple of days. But now: summer begins, finally
