Kathy's sketch

I've spent the last 24 hours making cards for hubby for weddings from Saturday until the end of August so the sketches, challenges etc always come in handy as do digi stamps. I've made 11 but have one more to make, then when we get back from our hols I can make a start on Septembers!! I've already made a card for Kathy's Waffle sketch but thought I would revisit and give it another go as I thought it lent itsself perfectly to C6 landscape cards.

All of the papers and card were from my left overs mountain (which, incidentally isn't going down!!), the flower stamp is a new one by Woodware, gems from stash and I've used a couple of punches and dies.
Thanks for inspiring me again Kathy :))

Album commission

This rounded off this week's work. I find these albums quite difficult to make as they don't have the photos yet, I find it much easier to do them as a 'proper' scrapbook as I never really know where to start. It's for a friend's sister's bosses 60th birthday.......and yes, his name is Ian LOL Anyway, this one was collected last night on behalf of the client by her sister........and she liked it :)

I have used a whole load of papers in this book including K & Co, Crate Paper and DCWV (and while I was punching the squares (a la Kathy ;)) I broke my Woodware punch :( The cutting plate has jammed and refuses point blank to move! This was a replacement for the one I broke doing exactly the same, in March. It's the 2" square punch and I find it really strange that two of them have broken in the same way within a couple of months of each other. I've been using the large Woodware punches for years and have never had any trouble with any of the others. Maybe it's just telling me I need more Nesties LOL The train on the front of the book opens to reveal a big blue 60 but my firend took the photos for me and I forgot to ask her to photograph it with the tags out etc. The train is actually a greeting card from Craftwork Cards and is just so cute (thanks Richard and Sue for a brilliant service)

An that, my loves, is it. I have a wedding fayre tomorrow and am supposed to be making place cards and table numbers but I'm finding it a struggle at the mo, keeping my eyes open. I've worked till two every morning this week and I'm tired..........but not complaining (and my work load is getting me out of doing the ironing!)

Take care and thanks for looking.
