Kathy's Waffle

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 :) 

Snippets

I'm hoping that Di might let me have a go on the slide as well as the swings now I have managed another Snippet card

I turned these bits (without the images)

into this card

with the addition of a Prima flower and a diamante.

Another quick one

to add to the Snippet Challenge!

I absolutely love the simplicity of this card!
Papers - Hideaway 6 x 6 paper pad from First Edition
Flowers - Prima
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
Brad from my box

Thanks for looking.
See you tomorrow.

Kathy's Sketch File

After our extended C*******s break at Kathy's Waffle we are back with a brilliant sketch.

I decided to keep my card even more simple than usual and went for the black and white theme.
Paper - Doodlebug
Flowers - Prima
Flower centre - Card Candy from Craftwork Cards
Sentiment ribbon - Pink Petticoat

My super talented team mates have come up with some gorgeous work again this month so why not pop along and take a look? We would love it if you could play along with us and don't forget to leave us a message so we can come along and admire your work.

Friday Sketchers

times two!!! I have finally got round to posting last week's sketch card too. lol

The image is another we had been sent us to work with by DZ Doodles, coloured with Promarkers. Papers are from Craftwork Cards, My Mind's Eye and Animal Antics by First Edition Papers. All the gems etc are from my stash. I've left the sentiment off this card as I think it can be used for numerous occasions and I can add a greeting at the POS.

 

Another card with no sentiment using assorted papers from my oddments box, Prima flowers and gems, pretty simple really :)

Hello baby

....well it will be soon as the little chap who the pram was ordered for is overdue. Isn't that typical of a male to make everyone wait for him!! lol I love making the pram, I have one on display in the shop and everyone loves it.

I used Prima flowers, Card Candy from Craftwork Cards and everything else is from my stock.

Wedding cards

Good morning all, after a gloriously warm and sunny Sunday we have returned to a cold and murky Monday! I did a wedding fayre yesterday so was glad that the weather was nice as it always brings out more couples than when it rains (or snows as it did the last time I was at that particular venue :))

The following cards were made for hubs to take to work, the first one was from last weekend but the other two were for Saturday just gone. Please excuse the awful photos but I took them quickly with my phone as my camera was up at the hotel.

images - Pink Petticoat and Stampendous
Papers - Pink Petticoat
sentiments - Pink Petticoat and lap top

Prima and ribbon flowers
Nesties
Martha Stewart punches
ribbons and gems are from stock

Gone green

well, not literally but the challenge for this week on the Passion For Promarkers challenge blog is to use green as the predominant colour.

I think I can safely say that my card is predominantly green :) The image is from Pink Petticoat coloured with Promarkers, pink card blank is from Craftwork Cards, papers are a free My Mind's Eye set from Cardmaking and Papercraft, flowers are Prima, brads from Woodware, sentiment is from Papermania and the ribbon is from my stash.


Take care and tfl

Give us a laugh!

Onto this week’s challenge on the Passion for Promarkers blog, which has been set by Emma and she has chosen “give us a laugh” so we would like to see your funny images, sentiments or both this week. As well as the PFP challenge, I used the sketch from last week on the Sketch and Stash blog and my new 'things' were the ribbon and the chocolate download I bought from Stamping Dragon Designs

Image as above, sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the Prima flowers and brads are from my stash.

Back later :)

Fairy Knoll

We have a lovely new sponsor this week at the Inspirational Card Sketch blog.  

Fairy Knoll is a place where fairies fly and dreams come

alive. Fairy Knoll offers digital stamps

filled with fantasy and magic ~ we hope you can visit us soon.

Dawn's sketch is another good one this week

I think the papers are from old Papermania pads (really not sure as they came from my left overs drawer). The image was coloured with Promarkers, flowers are Prima and the lace and diamantes are from my stash. The sentiment is from the flower fairy stamp set from earlier.

We look forward to seeing you :)

Mini albums

Last week's work included two mini albums and boxes measuring 6 x 6" (one 60th birthday and a golden wedding anniversary) and a guest book so this post will be picture heavy :). 

 

 

and now, the guest book

Materials used: image-Hibiscus decoupage by Jak Heath, assorted paper offcuts including Pink Petticoat and K & Co, all ribbons from Ribbon Oasis, Prima flowers and everything else from stash.
