Reminder Challenge #19 Some Like it Hot! Summer Memories,

 Hi Quirky people! Thank you for joining in with our .....

  Some Like it Hot! Summer Memories Challenge so far! This is a reminder that there's still a whole week to join in! Go HERE  or scroll down to join in.  At the moment, I'm hopefully sunning myself on a Cornish beach, but knowing my luck (This is Lyn by the way!) it's probably raining cats and dogs!  So, it's over to you! Go make something crafty, it can be virtually anything that reminds you of bygone summers.  They could be beach scenes, summer picnics, (I always think of sticky buns and wasps!) fishing for tadpoles, or crabs, hot rainy days, (even cold rainy days!) flowers, buzing insects, lots of bright colours or something completely different, it's up to you!! Can't wait to see some of those summer memories in your projects!

 Our fabulous sponsors for this fortnight are Bugaboo and Digital Delights.

 

  Our first place winner will receive 7 images of their choice from

Bugaboo

our second place winner will receive a $5 voucher from
Digital Delights! 

 

Our third prize is 2 images from Bugaboo.

     
 Here are a few creations by our Guest Designers

Myriam (Isha)

​I made a sunglasses card using the Beach Babe Britt stamp from our sponsor Digital Delights. My dad always loved to take us to the beach. We used to have a lot of fun!

And here's a few more fabulous projects  by our Design Team:

CINDY

Bittersweet time for me... this is my last post as a design team member. :(  Thanks to all of you who have played along and keep doing so!  This Art Journal page was fun to create!  I used a background I had created in a class a few months ago and finished it off just for you!  Check out my blog for the how tos...

MONICA

My Summer Memories are always related to hours spent by the shore, looking for shells, star fishes and sand dollars. This lovely "Isabella Beach"" reminds me myself as a little girl, just having fun with the most simple things of life.

I made a 3d card trying to give the sense of the little girl by the shore. My digi is colored with Spectrum Noir pens.

 KEMLY

For this Summer Memories,  I used "Crab Boat",  that reminds me when my little sister played with a boat during one of our  family's trip in 1978.

I made a wave card which reminds this adventure. The digis is colored with coloured pencils.

Cazzy - I will be along later. I want to say a big thank you to Cindy for being a great Quirky teamie, and I hope we will see you around in future.

Phew - made it! This is not a finished project, I have decided it will make a lovely notebook but just don't have the time to finish it today, so I thought I would show you the panel as it is. The digis are all from Digital Delights, the little girl is Beach Babe Britt, and I added a coconut tree (which is part of the Jungle Buddies accessories set) and oysters (clams) with their trail of pearls, just like you would find on the average British beach (not), seriously it does remind me of the Torquay palm trees which grow in our hotel garden in Torquay, and there are lots of shells on the beach but no pearls! It is coloured with Promarkers, with Liquid pearl pearls, and Cosmic Shimmer sunglass lenses (second attempt - note to self: do not use Rock Candy Stickles for glasses ever again!). Papers are freebies.

I am also working on a Bugaboo project, hope to show you soon!

For this card I combined Summertime Peekers  - swim, Beach Baby 2 and Beach Monkey Swim to create a scene that reminds me of watching children swimming in the sea this summer. I used some pale blue beach hut printed vellum behind the die cut scene, fixed with fish brads.

Lyn - will be along later too!

 

Here I am! Late for my own challenge...it's about 2 in the morning but I have been away! I used Bugaboo's cute little fishing monkey...and gave him a friend, memories of Hubby John and brother in law, Alistair, fishing off Old Harry Rocks in a sinking boat! I've 3D-ed the little monkeys and coloured them with Promarkers. I have another card I'll add later...

 And as if by magic...Here's my next card added just before midnight Wednesday. Same Backing papers and that cute little swimming Bugaboo monkey, which I've 3D-ed.

 

 .I've coloured with Promarkers, added by own 'scene' plus, Stickles Glitter glue, a ribbon, a rub-on sentiment and a seahorse charm. Still time to jpin in!

 
We have wonderful news - Doris is back on the team! Welcome back Doris!

 Doris 

Super excited to return to the home of The Quirky Crafts Challenge. I want to share this little card that I made using the BeachM Fish image, wish is provided by our amazing sponsor Bugaboo. In this case I use the Spectrum Noir to paint it and some SVG files for the background. Hugs!!

 Hi Quirky people, it's me here (Lyn) Ready for our next challenge? And what have I chosen this time round? Well, I'm on my way to Cornwall hoping that this coming week will be hot hot hot! So how about... 

 Some Like it Hot! Summer Memories, 

which can be virtually anything that reminds you of bygone summers. Did they always feel hotter when you were younger? Were the skies bluer? I think they were! So let's see some of those summer memories in your projects! They could be beach scenes, summer picnics, fishing for tadpoles, or crabs, hot rainy days, (even cold rainy days!) flowers, buzing insects, lots of bright colours or something completely different, it's up to you!!

Our fabulous sponsors this fortnight are Bugaboo and Digital Delights.

 

 Our first place winner will receive 7 images of their choice from
Bugaboo

our second place winner will receive a $5 voucher from
Digital Delights! 

 

Our third prize is 2 images from Bugaboo.

Here's some fabulous creations from our Guest Designers!

Myriam

I made a 3D stand up card using the Beach Monkey - Fish stamp from our sponsor. It made me remember how much I always wanted to go fishing in summer but I could never enjoy such an experience.

Sherryn

 Sherryn also used Beach Monkey - Fish and made an easel card, love the bottle top with the anchor.

KEMLY

For my project I used "Isabella Beach" from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. This sand castle pop up card reminds me a family trip to the beach, when I was a child, by 1978.

And our design team!

CINDY

I started with this cute Brats Birthday Girl Word Search - Happy Birthday as I am a summer baby!  So two lucky people are going to receive these postcards near their birthday:) 

Lyn

I couldn't make up my mind what to use, so I dug into my Bugaboo folder and made this 'Wish You Were here' beach scene card starring five Bugaboo images, three of them have been 3D. I've added eyelash wool and little orange crabs cut from a Woodware Punch. The Surf 's Up paper was from a Crafty Magazine. More on my Blog!

MONICA

For me, there are no Summer memories without a good red and juicy piece of watermelon. It was my childhood snack all the Summers. I remember my mother cutting a large watermelon and giving us those large pieces, and we running outside to eat it.
For my watermelon box, I used "Summer Butterfly Bear Watermelon" from our sponsor Bugaboo. I colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.

 Cazzy

Poor Cazzy has hurt her arm so may not be here today. Get well soon Cazzy!
Thanks Lyn, I am much better now and this is the first crafting I have done for a week because I was not supposed to be using my right arm - good job I am left handed!

I've done a beach scene card too! I think Lyn's is better than mine though. I used lots of happy crab images, scuba crab, boating crab and one building sand piles (and there are lots more cute crab images available), as well as Fried Chicken and a seahorse (which we featured in a previous challenge) from Bugaboo. I coloured them with Promarkers, added some glossy accents then painted the sea with mica paints. I added a little brass lighthouse charm on twine, and inside is blue and white striped paper to match the twine.

I hope to use the image from Digital Delights soon, in any case you will find a great project made with it in the reminder post next week!

OUR GUEST DESIGNERS

KEMLY

Wine is always a good choice when you gather with your friends. 

For this remainder I made a wine bottle package using the grapes and the sentiment "wine" provided by our sponsor.

OUR DESIGN TEAM

CINDY

I thought this would make a nice birthday card... Yep, I'm in monochomatic mode these days :)

MONICA

For this weeks reminder I used the wine glass digi provided by our sponsor to make a shaped card. Then I used the same digi to make the card decor in paper piecing technique, using different wine related pattern papers. Finally I used the sentiment also provided by our sponsor.

Lyn

 Sorry I'm later again (added Tuesday!) I've used the wine glass too and put two together along with a sentiment I made on the computer at the same time, and a large wired ribbon. I cut them out using my largest Scalloped Nestabilitie.
