2/Mojo Monday-Sketch

Morning guys the weekend is here and my last day off back to work tomoz. I have been enjoying my week and have been busy crafting away in my shed lol. Still waiting for posty to deliver some goodies oh the wait is killing me lol.

My card today is for a couple of challenges including a new one for me the Housemouse challenge. Thought I would give it a go since purchasing some housemouse stamps. These are so cute can't believe I haven't purchased these before. I love the mice they are so cute and such fun to colour. My Promarkers are becoming a fast fave of mine and I am finally getting the hang of them.
Have fun whatever you are doing today and see u all soon.

2/Create4Fun-Sketch

Hi peeps I know 2 posts in one day, a 1st for me in a long time.
Well before I get onto my card I want to have a rant about my Son's school.
Would you bloody believe it, but after walking half a mile to school this afternoon with a swollen ankle(due to mosy bites the ******** ate me alive last night and now I in agony and badly swollen)
They had moved the sports day to this morning due to forcast of rain. Nice of them to let parents know hey, as my son walks to school I didn't see the notice.
So glad he got 2 days and he out of there.



Sorry for the rant, so when I got back I went to my craft heaven and created this card. These little beauties are adorable, I don't know why I never purchased these before. I think these House Mouse could be a new love for me lol.
I coloured with promarkers and some experience I think I could be getting better.
Off to rest this ankle the pain hurts :(
At work tomoz and then my Sons graduation cermony (if they don't cancel)
So may not be a post, but you never know with me
See you all soon

Hi Peeps due to a family crisis yesterday I was late in posting this card. This was supposed to be enter into last week Just Magnolia Challenge :(
Oh well I can still show it and enter into other challenges.

I so love this Tilda but up until recently I had no idea how to use her, oh the shame lol. I coloured her with Dinks and finished off with sparkle to really make her sparkle like water. I distressed the white core card with a nail file. This card is fab and its made by DCWV. I added some holes with a pricking tool to look like stitches I must of been drunk at the time it ain't straight lol.

Its a quick post as family crisis still on going. Hope to be back tomoz with something from Mo's digi

My Mojo was gone,now it's back

1/Just Inklined Challenge
2/Sketch Saturday

Hi there seems like forever since I was last posting, been busy with costume makes and bracelet makes for peeps at work. I am also enjoying a day off work before the long shifts are back.
I think that is why my mojo disappeared been so busy at work with long shifts and was so tired, when I went to my craft room yesterday I just sat and stared, it was so fustrating not knowing where to start. Not like me but I had to go lie down for some much needed kip lol.

After catching up with some browsing on a few blogs I came across a new challenge blog and Digi images called JUST INKLINED wow what a laugh these images are. Thanks Mina for pointing the way. I downloaded this free image called Albert and hey presto the Mojo came back lol.
I coloured this chappy with DInks and Whispers Markers, with some touches of gold and silver markers. The papers are from MME and I have deciced to try and get some more papers as I am getting a little bored. I also used an MS punch Doily and created a border following Sketch Saturday. The sentiment is from an old stamp set from creative expessions and says it all me thinks lol. I finished with ribbon and buttons from my stash and hey presto the card is complete.
Thanks for looking
See you all soon
