Saturated Canary Challenge - Going Dotty!

This week over on the Saturated Canary Challenge blog our theme is Going Dotty. For my card I used the gorgeous Ava, who is my most favourite ever SC image (and that is a hard choice to make). You can still find her HERE on Krista's blog....

Eyes - B21/B66

The papers are a mixture of My Minds Eye Lush Navy and Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe. I have used my Nestabilities oval, and where the string on the balloon was drawn I have added some Divine Twine in Airmail, a Melissa Frances rub-on and a Craftwork Cards tag sentiment.

Smash*ing....

Been a while since I showed you a page in my Orange Smash Book...have been working on a few but not finished them until now. As the Orange Smash Book is about random stuff I love...I have done a coffee page. I am also working on a chocolate page, camera page, twilight page....to name just a few...

I have used random stuff here....some paint chip cards with colours named after coffee (Espresso, Vanilla etc), some AC Thickers, flair buttons, paperclips, Tim Holtz chitchat stickers, washi tape, stamps (IOU is a Unity Stamp, and the Coffee Cup is by Craftwork Cards) and finally I have added a Lil' Inker Designs die-cut take out coffee cup. Also the coffee postcard pics are all from Etsy.

I am going away for a few days, but will be schedule a couple of posts for while I am away. I am currently working on an Amy Tangerine Daybook, it's almost finished...I just need to add a few stickers etc and some journalling...It will be my first totally completed Amy Tangerine Daybook...and I already LOVE IT!
