Sketch File

Well we are into the second week of the challenge over on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File using the three fabulous sketches, all the same but using different shapes in the circle in the hope that it helps you see beyond the hearts which we have all been using frantically just lately!

This is the sketch I used on my card

and this is my card

This was a really quick card using left over pieces of card so I think I might pop over and play with Di and the others over in the Di's Snippet Challenge playground as I haven't seen them all for such a long time!

See you soon. x

We are back from our rather long Christmas break over on the Kathy's Waffle Sketch File blog and Kathy has welcomed 2014 in with a bang with not one sketch but 3!

Here's what Kathy has to say:

"Our new, February Sketch is simple in format but we think it offers lots of opportunities for many different projects and themes so we hope you'll give it a try. You can share any sort of crafting project that you've used our sketch for - it can be the whole project, or perhaps form just an element of a card, layout...whatever - it's up to you."

I hope you can pop over to the blog for a little bit of inspiration using these sketches and we look forward to seeing what you make!

Bfn xx

Sketch File has an ongoing sketch challenge which is carrying on from December. The sketch as always is a good one  and can be used any way round just as long as we can still make it out on your project.

 and the card I made

The card was made with letters from one of the Kanban baby sheets but I can't get to my box to find out which one!

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Bits and pieces

There is still time to enter the challenge over on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File using another one of Kathy's brilliant sketches. Just a pointer to something you may or may not know, if you get stuck for some inspiration, all of the sketches will still be on the Sketch file and you should be able to access them by clicking on the names in the right hand column of the blog.

First the sketch

 

and now, my cards

The sketches are free to use, and but please, when you use them remember to give the Sketch File the credit and add a link back to it.

Thanks again xx

There is still time to join in with the challenge over on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File if you so wish and here is the sketch which you will be required to follow :) It can be upside down, inside out or whatever other way you wish to use it just so long as we can still see the sketch! You're not limited to making a card either, make whatever you like, again as long as we can still see the sketch it's up to you.
Here is the sketch you are required to follow

This card was made in it's entirety from a Docrafts card kit (which I didn't realise at the time of buying, I thought it was just a couple of pretty papers in the pack!) with the exception of the ric-rac and brads which came from my stock. I've made two cards from the kit so far and still have loads left.

For this card I used an old Craftwork Cards topper that I found in a box a while ago. Isn't it amazing what you find when you're not looking for it :) The papers are by Funky Hand and I think the flowers are part Prima, part Sarah'a Flowers and part Docrafts. The big pearl brad in the centre is from my stock.

Don't forget to leave us a message if you join in with our challenge then we can come over and see what you've made.

Thanks for dropping by and sorry I haven't been around for a while but I haven't been very well, just about all better now though :) 

Waffle Tuesday....

but only just, I'm getting this one started by the skin of my teeth but won't get it published on Tuesday as it's later than I thought it was!! This is the final week for the Sketch Challenge over on Kathy's Waffle. 

You still have time to join us so please don't be shy, show us your work :) xx

Week 2. I tried a different shape as the centre piece of my DT card for Kathy's Waffle Sketch File this week but you can stick to the circle is you want. As long as we can see the sketch it's up to you how you use it :)

I made this for my Son in law's birthday on Sunday. The paper across the middle is by My Mind's Eye but I'm not sure about the rest as they were all pieces from my off cut box. The image was a freebie from somewhere but I can't remember where and I can't find it in my documents either so I don't know where it's from.

Don't forget to point us in the direction of your work so we can come and have a look.
Take care, back soon xx

What's on yours?

It's Wednesday again already and today is the day we get to travel the world without moving from our desks. Mine is ready for my next wedding stationery order so although it's still not as tidy as I would like it, I have got room to work!

Balloons? They were on the tables at a wedding open evening I did last Thursday evening and the couple who do the balloons usually leave them behind and the hotel disposes of them. I wanted to match some ribbon to the beautiful teal colour of the string (which are hidden behind my overflowing basket) so he said to just take them

Right, that's it for now. If you want to know all about the What's on Your Workday world tour (!) then hop over to Julia's blog, Stamping Ground and all the info you need is there. My aim this week is to try to get all the way round all of the desks.....watch this space! :)

Back soon with the new sketch from Kathy's Waffle.
Thanks for dropping by.

A card a day

Kathy's new group on Facebook :) Do you feel like making a card every day and better still, blogging it, then come over and join us. It's early days yet but it looks as though it could be good fun :)

I've ,made a few cards between yesterday and today so I will add those. It's my son's birthday today, he's 24, Happy birthday Dan. We had some lovely news this morning, DH's cousin's girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy this morning weighing 8lb something :) They have another son who is about 15 months old....what you might call a hand full. Julie has two older children so I'm sure they will help with the little ones.

I will now add the cards I made this morning and tomorrow I will blog the cards I made yesterday (are you still with me? :)) and it's my turn to blog the Get Funky challenge and add my projects. I might do a little tutorial to go with it.

I still need to put a sentiment onto the second card. Images are by Pink Petticoat and Lili of the Valley.

Ok, I will be back in the morning. Take care and tfl xx

Over The Hill!!

The sketch challenge over on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File went live on Tuesday of this week as it was the first Tuesday of the month.

For my card I used the freebie paper from Funky Hand (which was designed for the August challenge on the Get Funky! challenge blog). The 'Little Monsters' are from the Happy Happy Birthday cd which was designed by Anice and is for sale through the web site. I downloaded the coloured version of the monsters and gave their balloon a bit of a lift by applying Glossy Accents. The sentiment was computer generated and I finished the card with a few crystal gems.

I hope you like what your see, :)

There are just a few days left for you to join us on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File before the new sketch comes up for September. Kathy has published some brilliant sketches over the last couple of years and they are all still on the Sketch File blog for you to look at when Mr Mojo goes walkabout!
Take a look at the sketch and we would love it if you had a go with it.

Don't forget to let us know if you have a play then we can come and have a look at your work :)

Kathy's sketch 2008 #4

Have you checked out Kathy's Sketch File? She is coming up with some great sketches........I've used a few over the last few months. So decided to use this one for another Valentine card!

The papers are Sassafras before they dropped the 'lass'. The stamp is from Elzybells and is coloured with ProMarkers. The heart buckle was cut using a Bosscut die and the rub on is Papermania.
