Delightful Sketches

The next card is made (obvious from the title really :)) using the Delightful Sketches challenge sketch this week.

I absolutely love these images, again from Karen's Doodles coloured with Promarkers, not sure what the paper is-it's a downloaded one which I rescued from my old hard drive) ribbon is Doodlebug, Card Candy is from Craftwork Cards and the sentiment again is from The Creative Cottage

:)

The Next Level

Issue 3 is the first sketch challenge for the site Our Challenge of the week is our first sketch at The Next Level. We wanted to give you something that was a little challenging but appealing hopefully to everyone at all levels. The sketch features an arched pocket and inserted into this is a removable tag.


I had a mad dash with some of the challenges yesterday as I realised that I'd made Father's Day cards for my shops but hadn't made any for myself and unfortunately didn't have time to go to either of the shops! This one is for my dad. He was in hospital last week and had an op on his hand so he can't drive. We are going over in the morning to pick them up. Mum and I are going to a craft fayre till 12 then DH is coming to pick us up and we are going to a local stately home for the afternoon. The house has fab gardens to wander round and they are having a classic car show for Father's Day. There will also be a brass band playing on the croquet lawn (!) - the things you do to keep the oldies amused! LOL

I will be back later with some more challenges but this afternoon I need to pot up my tomatoes and strawbs and bake for tomorrow........then I have an Order of Service proof, a couple of samples and some invitations to finish. I must ave been a real bad bu**er in a previous life because there really isn't any peace for the wicked :))

It's a man's world!!

It was my turn again to set the challenge for this week on the DewDrop Craftz blog and this is it! Now.. onto this fornights challenge..It's a mans world.. (we'll let them think that anyway..) So what does that mean for the challege?? Mens cards.. or other projects.. something for the men in your lives.. I want to see your 'male' creations over the next fortnight.. as we all find it more difficult to make for them it will be great to see what you guys come up with, especially with Father's Day looming not far round the corner..So root through your stash for those masculine papers, dig through your ribbon for those twills and ropes and see what you can astound your man with. Looking forward to seeing the entries.. and the winner will receive 3 new Pebeo Metal Touch tubes in Gold, Pale Gold and Copper and a full set of 4 Carl Torrosian sophisticated nudes stamps (both Sandrine and Angelique)
The image on the top card is Eric the dinosaur and is another by Sally-Ann which has been turned into a stamp, now for sale in the DewDrop Craftz shop The green paper on the top is one of Kirsty Wiseman's from the Patti cd and the striped paper is from my box of off cuts.

The image on the second card is also from DewDrop and I think he is just so cute. He has been coloured with my trusty PMs. The sentiment circle is from Stamps Away.

We can't wait to see your creations :)
