Kathy's Waffle

Good morning everybody, are you enjoying the sunshine here in Britain? It seems to have disappeared this morning but I'm hoping it will make an appearance at some point today, I'm getting used to my little 'forays' into the garden on an afternoon :) I've just had a lovely little wheelbarrow planter made so I'd like to get that painted today if possible as I've got Busy Lizzies waiting to go into it.

As it's the beginning of the month it's the start of the new Sketch Challenge and as always Kathy has come up with a brilliant one. She has also rotated the sketch so you can see how to use it in a different way.

My blogging is so erratic at the moment that I am building up a nice little back log of projects to show on here. As it's a Kathy's Waffle new sketch post I thought it would be ok to post the last couple of cards I mad for last month's sketch.

 The beautiful stamps are from Clearly Besotted (which I am), Full of Surprise. I've also used some narrow pink gingham ribbon and an off cut of lace, both of which were in my scrap box.

The absolutely gorgeous papers used on this card are from the new Autumn papers which haven't been released yet.

I hope you will use it and pop back and show us what you've made :) 

Thanks for dropping by.

A new sketch

As it's the beginning of the month, it's new sketch time at  Kathy's Waffle Sketch File and as always it is a "goodun". 

 or you might prefer to use it in it's rotated form

You may even turn it upside down or back to front if you so wish. As long as we can see the sketch in your work you are free to use it how you like. You are not limited to cards either, try using it as a scrapbook page for instance. We are really looking forward to see what you come up with. Add yourself to Mr Linky at the bottom of the post and we will drop by to admire your work.

Don't forget to pop over to see what the design team have come up with to inspire you.

Manic Monday

Why is it that I have only been back from Cornwall for 4 days yet not only do I feel knackered, it doesn't feel as though we've been away? It doesn't help with the rotten weather although we did manage to get out into the garden for the afternoon yesterday. I tidied and repotted and moved things all over the place and it looks nice now :) I need another couple of days so I can get on top of the weeding again but it doesn't look as though it might happen this week!! Oh well at least the house stays tidy :)


I'm in wedding stationery and DT sample mode today so can only give you a sneak peek before I blog my cards on my Kanban Thursday.

As always, these elements are absolutely stunning and they are all printed onto 300 gsm card stock which means they can be used outright as a card base and not just used for matting and layering.


I'd like to remind you that I'm the host for this month's Get Funky! challenge where my remit is to use large numbers as the focal point on your card/project but no images allowed, although you can use text. I hope you can find the time to join in with us this month and please make sure you hope over to the blog every couple of days as my DT mates add their inspirational projects. Anice has made us a fabulous freebie backing paper in case you don't own any Funky Hand  goodies, it can be found here


Kathy's Waffle Sketch File challenge is still running too. These sketches really help me out of a hole sometimes when Mr Mojo has gone walkies. All of the sketches, from when Kathy first started this blog, are available on the sidebar. It's great to be able to have a browse at times when you may need a little help :)


Thanks for dropping by and I will see you tomorrow (hopefully)

New year, new challenges

Well Christmas is well and truly behind us at Scruff's Corner. The tree came down yesterday and all the decs are now put away for another few months (well that's what it will seem like anyway!)

It is challenge time again on the ICS blog after our short break. It's a colour challenge this week as well as a sketch challenge and we are sponsored by Pattie's Creations

We look forward to seeing what you come up with as you join us in our challenge :) Don't forget to leave us a link so we can come and take a look.
