Kathy's Waffle Sketch File

Have you had a look at the latest sketch on Kathy's Waffle Sketch File?

I have a commission for a mini album so I decided to use the sketch for the cover. The only specification was that it was to be uncluttered as the lady will be 100 years old in August. I think it's it's a little too plain so I will tart it up with a few flowers I think ;)

We would love you to help us spread the word about these fab sketches by playing along with us and who knows, there may even be a little gift every now and then :)

Thanks for looking.

And there's more ...

... challenges on CBC that is

Make a book of any kind

Papers are from Funky Hand and were left over from yesterday's card. The image on the pages is from a Debbi Moore cd - Glitter and Glitz. The notebook was based on one I did for Debbi to show on Create and Craft late last year. Letter stickers are Pretty Please from My Minds Eye and the flowers were from my box but not sure where I bought them.

The next challenge is to make a card using only one colour but you can use gold, silver or bronze as an accent colour

 

This paper is just to die for! It is simply called Bride by Stampin Up. Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and ribbon is from my stash.

My final challenge for now is to make a mini album and decorate three pages. This one has been sat on my desk for a couple of weeks now as I wanted to decorate it as a gift for my mil. She was 75 a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be nice for her to trawl through the photos and journal some of them :) Although I've taken the photographs, I'm not happy with the cover...it is lacking something and looks kinda plain! I will think of what to do with it and post new pics later.

 

 

  

The album is from Craftwork Cards and everything else so far is from my scrap box apart from the buttons and gems.

 

Papermania!

I bought a couple of little album kits last year because I liked the papers only to find out that the papers were an exclusive kit and wouldn't be reproduced to sell separately. I've also amassed quite a few other bits and bobs from Papermania which is a bit strange as I don't buy much of their stuff. However, I decided it was time to try to use up some of the papers etc and decided to make a mini album for my mum with the few photos we took at her bbq.

As I mentioned before, all the elements, rub ons etc are either Papermania or Doodlebug except for the last page. Her name is Eunice which is my mum's name so I couldn't leave her out! However the gems, brads and paper used are all Papermania.

Save the date

These are my last order before we go on holiday tomorrow.

and here they are all packed and ready to go!

Well that's about it from me for two weeks. We are travelling to Manchester airport tomorrow afternoon and then we fly to Zakynthos (Zante) at 6.30 on Tuesday morning (!) It's going to be really strange as it's the first time DS hasn't come with us. He will be 20 in October but it doesn't stop me worrying :(

Now all I need to do is the ironing and pack the cases and we are going to mum and dad's for lunch so we won't be back till about 4ish......never mind, I'm sure we will be sorted before 2pm tomorrow :)

Thanks for looking..................I promise that I will visit lots of blogs as soon as I come back.
