Sand Toys on the Beach

Posted on March 4, 2025March 3, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for this month’s Karen Burniston design team challenge. Karens challenge to us is “Lake or Ocean”. Well as some of you know I grew up in a town that is on the shores of Lake Huron, so I knew I wanted to lean towards lake. I also knew I wanted to do something a little different than what I’ve previously done, or else would it really be a challenge 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I thought for a bit, what else can you do at the beach and then it hit me… play with sand toys. And this is what I came up with.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

Happy New Year, and for my first post of the year I will be sharing my design team challenge card. This months challenge was to create a card using dies from the “First 100 dies” so dies from 1001 to 1100 on the Karen Burniston Website. I decide to use the Katherine Label Pop up and coincidentally it is the first time I’ve used it.

Wedding Wishes- June designer challenge

Posted on June 6, 2023June 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s the the first Tuesday in June so you know what that means, It’s Karen Burnistons Design Team challenge. This months challenge is to make either a “Wedding or Baby” card. I had decided to make a wedding card, but for some reason I was drawn to these colours, possibly because I just bought this paper pack at Michaels lol. So I guess with a swap of charms and greeting this could easily become a baby card, or a gender reveal card.

Love you more than ice cream -February designer Challenge

Posted on February 5, 2023February 7, 2023 by mymessycraftroom5

Its that time again, it’s time for the February Karen Burniston designers challenge. This months challenge is all about Love. We were given the option of a Valentine, wedding or anniversary card. I decided to go with a Valentine. When making a Valentine for my hubby I try to stay a way from pink, I found this purple and blue striped paper from my stash so I went with it. Ice cream is our guilty pleasure so I thought it would be fun to use the Ice-cream sundae pop-up dieset.
