Fruity Birthday for JAI #730

Happy Friday and welcome!! It's the last weekend in November and hard to believe that Christmas is almost here for another year. It's been a busy year for us, especially the last few weeks as we've been moving house but we are grateful for a lovely home just in time for what seems like is going to be a hot Summer! 

At Just Add Ink this week, Tristan has asked us to "Just Add...Fruit" So we look forward to seeing all the yummy projects that you will create using fruit this week. Our design team have all used a variety of fruits although summer berries do seem to have featured! I hope that you can pop on over and join us.

I chose to use the Something for Everything Ephemera Packs from the Main Catalogue. There are a few fruits to choose from and I decided on adding the strawberry and blueberries to some cake. 

Sentiments are from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. And the background DSP is from the Full of Life DSP which has similar tones to it.

The Ephemera packs have a lot of different images and themes covered and I am glad that I have them - especially for this challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you can pop on over to Just Add Ink and I look forward to seeing what fruits you choose to add to your projects this week!

Card stock: Basic White, Basic Black

DSP: Full of Life

Ephemera Packs: Something For Everything, Saying Something.

'Til next time,

Party Cake for JAI #710

 

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to the last Friday of the School Holidays. Just in time for the weekend where it might not be a bad idea to spend it inside, crafting going by the cold Winter that we are having here in Melbourne.

This week's Challenge at Just Add Ink is to Just Add Party Fun! Parties have so many elements to them - from cool drinks to fun hats to themes and dresses and everything food orientated. So there are lots of things that you could think of for this one I am sure! I suggested this one so I hope that you like it. Our design team have created a fabulous array of cards to inspire you so we hope that you might join in this week!

For my card I turned to cake because you can't have a party without a cake! And the Something For Everyone Ephemera Pack delivered. 
It has several traditional party theme type images but I couldn't go past the cake wagon and the yummy looking piece of cake and the bunting.

The Icing Sentiment is from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. Being a circle, it helped with the layout of this card, leading me using the Spotlight On Nature Dies. Then the Friends For Life Bundle had just arrived with my latest order....so that was used as well!

Btw, I think that Watermelon Wonder is my new favourite colour Do you have one??

I also added a  touch of ribbon and a sprinkling of sequins and this card was ready. No stamping or colouring at all needed!

Yes, it's very girly and a bit sparkly but I think it also has a bit of a party feel too!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you will join us at Just Add Ink and share your idea of Party Fun with us this week!
