Sketch Saturday #125 sponsored by digital delights...

Gooooood Morning!!! and Happy Saturday!!

Wow this week has gone SOOOO quickly!!!

Well, we all know what Saturday means dont we??... yep another fabulous Sketch from Jo at Sketch Saturday!

Heres my take on it...

I do love this Dahlia Anya from the greeting farm I think she has to be my fav...

I've coloured her with promarkers

The papers really are allsorts, mostly scraps...

I've hand doodled the 'hello' onto more scraps, and coloured the letters with promarkers.

then just added some buttons, and pearls from my stash!

This week we are sponsored by Digital Delights by louby loo...

Who are offering one lucky winner a $10 voucher!!!

Pop over to see full details, and to see the amazing work from my fellow DT girls, and this months fab GD Kathy!!

Thanks for stopping by...

2 completely different cards....

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm back again with 2 cards this time!! I was going to save one for another post, but knowing me I'll end up forgetting to post it!!

as you know, I don't really have a 'style' I'm not sure if thats a good thing or bad...

all I know is these 2 cards are SO different in style!!... you wouldnt think I made one straight after the other!!

(well, except that one of the papers is the same, cos it was there looking at me!)

Sometimes I LOVE loads of layers, as this next card shows...

Tiets has made an AWESOME (if not a lil bit tricky) sketch over on the Sugar Bowl this week....

Are you like me, and see a challenge like this and LOVE it!! I do like a challenge to BE a challenge!!

The optional extra is Autumn...

So heres my card...

I've coloured my Gorjuss girl with promarkers...

The papers are all DCWV, from the green, and rockstar stacks...

The butterfly has been cut from one of the papers, and then I added a few details to it with a fineliner

Sentiment is handwritten

and I added a few pearls...

I'm entering this card into the following challenges...

The Sugar Bowl 'Tiets' Sketch'

Cute card Thursday 'Whats Buggin you?'

Flutterby 'Fall'

Paper Sundaes 'a change of season'

On to my next creation...SO different from the last!

sometimes, I hardly like to use any layers at all....

Fairly simple this one..

its been a while since I joined in at Sweet Stampin, but this weeks challenge is a special one, so although i'm running a bit late, I HAD to join in....

This ones for Emma...

The challenge is Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend...

I've coloured my yummy Sweet November mermaid with promarkers..

The paper is from the DCWV rockstar stack..

Sentiment is CC designs Amy R Summer sentiments set..

and I've added LOADS of mini pearls with my new best friend... the viva decor pearl pens!!!

some of them are a bit dodgy, but I'm getting better!! even my hubby likes these pens, and says I should get loads more colours... Well I'm not going to argue with that!!!

I've added some bling hearts to qualify for the challenge...

Sweet Stampin' 'For Emma/Diamonds are a Girls best friend'

I'm also entering this for the Allsorts 'Song inspiration challenge' although I did already enter with my 'Kisses' card earlier, so if I'm not allowed another entry, just delete me...

Allsorts Inspiration from a song 'Under the Sea'

i'll be back in the morning with my Sketch Saturday DT card...

Thanks for looking!

'Kisses' in Pink, Green and Cream for Whiff of Joy

Good Morning!!

Well, I make that 4 days in a row! I do believe that may be some sort of a personal record!!

Today I'm here to share a card I've made for a couple of challenges...

Firstly I've followed Janes fab sketch over at Whiif of Joy...

And I've used the colour Scheme of Pink/Green and Cream from Colour Create

and last but not least...Allsorts are asking for you to create something taking 'inspiration from a song title' I chose one of my Favs... 'This Kiss' by Faith Hill

Heres my card...

 

The gorgeous stamp is of course

Melinda blowing Kisses from whiff of joy...

can you believe I've only just bought her!!?!? I've loved her for ages, but then I saw this card over on Jeanettes blog.... and I knew it was time I gave in...

I've coloured her with promarkers, and chalked the background...

The papers are a mix of Basic Grey and MME

Ribbon and flowers are from stash...

and I hand wrote the little wish tabs...

and you can just about see some little pearls I've created with my fav new Viva decor pens from Quixotic...

Thanks for looking!!!

xxxxx

one of 'those' cards...

Do you ever get 'second hand' card orders??

LOL!!

By this I mean, do you ever have an order for a card, but don't get the information regarding whats needed on said card from the person ordering??

I've only recently been brave enough to send my hubby into work with some cards to sell...fortunately they are going down a storm (yey me!!) unfortunately my new found fame is now resulting in hubby coming home with orders for cards...

all well and good if I had an idea what the card was for, what they wanted on it, when they wanted it by etc...

but my hubby being my hubby, I get...

'I need a card making for someone at work.... she's 82!'

'who's 82?? the person its for, or the person ordering!! is it for a Birthday?? arrrggghhh.......'

LOL... you get the picture!! this was one of those cards...

after sending hubby back for further details I found out it was a card for someones mum, for her 82nd Birthday... and I got the brief: old fashioned, and horses...

okay, I don't 'do' old fashioned, and didnt have a horse stamp... problemo!!

Still, i'd been eyeing up the whimsy carousel horses for a while, and when I spotted the proud momma one... I had a 'bingo' moment...

 old fashioned was the hard part...

This was my third attempt...LOL!! and I still havent been told if its okay...

or recieved the cash for that matter..... hmmmmm, think I need a word with hubby!!

anyway, enough waffle... my card...

I've coloured the beautiful Whimsy horses with just 2 promarkers, and a brown crayon... I cut them off the 'pole' (does it have a technical name?...i don't know!)

hand cut 2 little clouds to use as masks for the chalked background...

The cardstock is all stampin up, and i've embossed the white card using a cuttlebug folder...

The sentiment stamp is from Do crafts

and the 'mum' is a sizzix die...

flowers,ribbon and charm are from stash...

It looks SO much better in real life, but the photo had to be taken quickly before hubby rushed it in to work...

anyways.... I'm entering this into the following challenges...

Creative Card Crew ~ Blooming Marvellous

Crafty Calendar ~ Birthdays

Paper sundaes ~ Something from your stash

Good Afternoon all!!

Yes, its Thursday, and i'm posting!! LOL!

For this one I followed the  fabulous Sketch over on Friday Sketchers...

I really think this is one of my Favourite images from Belles and Whistles...

Its so beautiful!!

I've coloured it with promarkers...

Papers are MM and Prima

I've handwritten the SISTER

The flowers are from stash, and the pearls are made using the Viva Decor pens from Quixotic Paperie...OMG I love them!! need some practice with them though...lol!

Think thats me for today, still in shock at posting, so off for a lie down... ;)
