Oh What a week

1/Truly Scrumptious-Sketch with option of strawberries and cream

Hi peeps here I am finally with a post and 3 cards for you. I got these complete before my week turned upside down. First thing was a hectic weekend of 12 hour shifts . Then I got a lift home on friday night and was involved in a car accident, so now I have whiplash and the pain is unbelievable, my neck has been so sore everything has been put on hold. No crafting and I am really missing out on stuff sorry I haven't been posting but this is the reason why.
Then today I check my email and got turned down for a DT post. So I am feeling pretty sorry for myself.

When I was fit my card was done using reds and wow I think this could be a new colour for me. I coloured Melinda with Twinks & Dinks I love this WOJ image.

Here is a piccie from the side sorry piccies are bad this evening light isn't so good for photos. I have coloured this adorable tilda with DInks. I have eaten so many strawberries lately I may turn into one. I recycled the buttons & ribbon from an old top I was throwing away. I kept this simple has red makes a big statement I think.

2/Sketch Saturday-Sketch

Hi peeps How hot is it today? Wow I am glad to be home from work and a chance to cool down. I work outdoors and this weather is a killer lol. Never happy either to hot or raining lol.

So onto my card and I chose Mint Choc Chip as my favourite Ice cream and I could just eat one now.

I have used another fab image by Kenny K and this one is called Rock Chick and she is cool. I really enjoyed colouring her in and I did that with whispers markers. I think I may be brave enough to give copics ago. Does anyone know where I can buy a beginners set to get me started?

Hi peeps what a gorgeous day it is here the sun is shinning and wow is it hot. Hope you are all having glorious weather there too. Here is my card for today using 1 of Mo's gorgeous images. He is called Harvard and is ideal for a special teacher card. My son is leaving to go to another school in september. So I used the challenges to make his teacher a leaving card.



I have chosen to colour Harvard with Twinks and DInks. Above is a close up of the image. Sorry my photography on this close up is shocking. The papers are a download from nitwits. As this is going to a male teacher I thought a few buttons would be appropiate.

3/Mojo Monday-Sketch

Hi Peeps where as the week disappeared too? I really went to town on this card and wanted to do something really special as it is my mums birthday next week. I have the challenge of doing a card from the girls at work for her. We work at the same place so here is what I decided on. Not that my Mum is a Diva but the image makes me smile everytime I look at it lol. Its called DIVA and is from the delightful and talented Mo.
I love her images and you can always find an image suitable for anybody there please if you haven't been there please check it out. You can get there by looking on my side bar :)
I decided to distress alot of the elements on this card to give it some interest. I have used dinks and scissors. I haven't got round to purchasing a distressing tool yet.
I also decided to use my sewing machine which has been neglected of late. I coloured my image with Twinks and Dinks she really needed to sparkle lol. I created the border with an MS punch but I don't have the corner piece for it yet.
Hope you enjoy looking

Hi Peeps here is my second card for today. I feel as though I have neglected my Mo's but out they come today. With my new rubbers to play with I thought it was about time I got my digis out again and thought of leaving cards for the kids, as school will be out for summer soon. These images are great for teachers I will be doing the boy one soon as my lad goes to another school in september.
This image is called Trinity and she is a star to colour. I have chosen to colour her with Twinks & DInks. The papers I have used are from Nitwits and are a download along with the elements.
The challenge was an easel card so below is a piccie of my card from the side.

Hi Peeps the weather has been glorious here,but today we get thunder & lightning what a shame I was getting quite a tan lol. But at least its got me to my craftroom to get some cards done. This is card 1 and I have used the supertalented Donaldas sketch which was great to use. I coloured one of my new purchases with DInks & Twinks. I used the template from LOTV to cut out image and added some details with a swirl stamp. I don't usually go for this colour combo but doing the challenge forced me to try and I really like it lol.
Not happy with the ribbon pleating but check back later when I finally got it together for another card.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

1/Sketch Saturday

Hi Peeps What a week it as been so far, to top it off the internet went down on me yesterday and just got it back. So now I can post yeepee. I completed 3 cards yesterday and will post them today, if I can get my piccies to behave themselves I will do it in one post, but my luck they will be separate lol. Seems the weather changes has fried my brain, I was going to enter this into another challenge using no DPs when I realised I had paper pieced the image (What a stupid mare I am)
This card was created by colouring a piece of card with purple ink and sponging it on. Then I stamped the swirls and heat embossed with clear and white powder.
I love this image and was a recent ebay purchase shes called Sugar Nellie Penpal. I coloured with DInks and paper pieced. I used the nesties circle scallop to create the matt for the stamp.
