Helloooooo, and Happy Saturday...

Forgot to schedule my post again....oops!!

We've just got in from another LOVELY long walk... all exhausted now, so just grabbing something to eat, and then I reckon it will be a VERY early night!

This week at Sketch Saturday we are sponsored by Paper Makeup stamps...

FAB!! and how lucky are the DT?? we all got to play with a stamp!

I have had my eye on the super cute monsters for a while, so I was so excited to be able to choose one to play with... only trouble was it was so tricky to pick a fav....

I finally plumped for these two fellas... and I'm so pleased I did...

The Stamp is me and pops and is FAB to colour...

its been coloured with promarkers...

the papers are MME, and Prima

The diecut letters are from a crate paper kit, I've coloured over the original colour with a promarker, as they werent as bright as I wanted.

couple of buttons, and a load of doodling, and thats about it...

Theres an AWESOME prize up for grabs of a $20 voucher to spend at PMS

Good morning, just a quick post today to share a card I made for my MIL's Birthday...

Bit different for me this one... NO colouring (well just a teeny bit)

The photo is a bit blurry...sorry!! I didnt have time to retake it before we delivered it yesterday!

Papers are a mix of MME and pink paisley...

The text paper was a free download from melstampz

The sentiment was a free download from my lovely spy friend Marit (in joke)

The Butterflys are Hero Arts (Bought due to fab inspiration from the lovely Deirdre

The 'Mum' is handdrawn, as are the flower stems...

flowers are punched and shaped, and a gem added to the centre...

few more gems, and a bit of edge doodling, and thats it!

Sketch Saturday #150 Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp

Goooooood Morning!!!

WOW hasn't it been glorious weather in the UK???

We've been enjoying getting out and about... hopefully as you are reading this we will be off out for a nice long walk with the dog... she's going through a phantom pregnancy at the moment bless her, and She's NOT a happy bunny :(

So we are trying to keep her mind occupied with other things...

anyhooo... thats not why you are here...lol!!

This week at Sketch Saturday we are sponsored by the Fabulous Simon Says Stamp who, as always have provided a FAB prize for one lucky winner!!

Jo's sketch is FAB this week... a really good one to work with...

Heres my DT card...

The Digi is from Elisabeth Bell and is called Pati's Kisses

isn't she just THE most adorable little thing you've ever seen???

I've coloured her with promarkers.

The background has been created using various sentiment stamps and a bit of doodling... I've then coloured over the whole panel with a dusky pink promarker, and chalked and distressed the edges.. I quite like it!

I've used canvas and brown card for the main Background... and distressed them a bit using chalks.

The green paper is MME

Finished off with a couple of bits of American crafts ribbon, a few staples, and gems from my stash...

and of course, a teeny bit of doodling...

Hope you like!!
