Next came the necklaces

Made using Swarovski hearts and crystals.
Burgundy fascinator

Wedding invitation sample

And that's the lot. Thanks for looking, back soon. xx

Allsorts challenge

Another challenge with a recipe this week is the Allsorts Challenge blog Now I used to avoid this sort of challenge and just stick to sketches but now I quite enjoy them, I also don't mind making cards for males either but I know there are quite a few people out there who hate it. This is the brief

"This week we have a recipe challenge for you but with a twist - and the twist is it's

A RECIPE FOR THE BOYS

so we would like to see your projects for a male using the following

1 design paper

2 punches or dies

3 buttons"

 and here is what I came up with

The papers and die cuts are all from My Mind's Eye, image is by Karen's Doodles and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.


Allsorts also have a DT call which ends tomorrow at 6 pm so I thought I might have a try!

and my card

Thanks for looking and good luck if you apply :)

DT call

Kathy's Waffle has a DT call out at the moment and is looking for a couple of DT mates to join her for the challenges.

Would you be interested in joining a little team of designers who use these sketches each month?  I'm looking for two designers to help show off the sketches on their blogs and on here of course, initially for a three month period.

If you're interested, please make two cards - one using this sketch and one using one of the other sketches on this blog and leave comments to let me know where I can see them and whether you're interested in joining my little team.

  If you've already used any of the sketches on here, make one with the July sketch then just choose your favourite card from the ones you've used my sketches for previously as your DT submission.  If any of this doesn't make sense just email me!

So now onto the sketch

The image is from Karen's Doodles and he has been coloured with Promarkers.

For my second card I chose this one from the April challenge

Details of materials used can be seen here

Wish me luck and Tfl xx

Baby baby

I got an email this morning to say that my blog has been included in an aticle entitled "101 Lovely Craft Blogs" over on the DotComGiftShop. I hadn't heard of them before so went to have a look and there are a few other names I recognise. Anyway, thanks for this Thomas, it made my day!! :)

I love making baby cards as much as I love my weddings and having found this gorgeous image at Karen's Doodles I may have to make a few spare:)

 The image was coloured with Promarkers as usual, flowers are E line by Prima and everything else is from my stash. The ribbon is actually printed with a baby image and it says Its a Boy but it's difficult to see on the pictures!

Right, back to the album, I shall be at it very late this evening as I need to get the album finished and photographed before it goes tomorrow.

Take care :)

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

:)

Friday Sketchers!

Late again for the challenge from last week so I did the new challenge posted today and chose to upload both week's cards at the same time :)

Image from Creative Cottage, free papers from Making Cards mag, Card Candy from Craftwork cards, ribbon from stash.

Another fabby image from Karen's Doodles coloured with Promarkers, the dp is an old Doodlebug paper I think, other papers are oddments from the 'scrap mountain' and small buttons from stash.

Thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday

It's a while since I've done one of their challenges but I have saved some of the sketches for future use.

 

Image as before from Karen's Doodles (she has some fabulous images and I will definitely be going back for more!), the Father's Day 'badge is a freebie from The Creative Cottage I've used Promarkers again, papers are a magazine freebie by Nancy Watt and the ribbon is from my stash.
