Sketch & Stash #6 in Red & Green!



A 2 in 1 card today!! I have used today's sketch #6 from Sketch and Stash and combined it with the colour challenge of red and green from Colour Create :0)

The new stash is the cute Tilda from the Spring Club kit and the extra option over at Colour Create is 'wings' so I chose this Tilda specially for the little ladybird :)

Papers, sentiment and flower are all Cosmo Cricket from a QVC kit.

PBS #40 - A sketch..



I'm on a roll!! another challenge I've managed to do straight away :0) DH has taken DS for a bike ride and swimming!! so I get to spend some time in my craft room (mess!!)

I have used this week's sketch over at Penny Black Saturday by Tracie, another fabulous sketch which I will be keeping to use again!!

The stamp is called 'kickin', and I have coloured the image with prisma's and sansador. The papers are Making Memories - Olivia. The background panel looked a bit bare in just the plain green so I have embossed it top and bottom with one of the small Cuttlebug folders.

I have flipped the sketch so I could add the sentiment as this is for a crafty friends b-day next week :0)

Friday Sketchers #43 - Carole's Sketch


I'm on the ball today!! dont usually manage to get the challenges done straight away :) I'm always last minute, but saw this sketch on Friday Sketchers this morning and I had been busy colouring images last night so I was halfway there!!

Love this sketch Carole, another I shall be adding to my sketch file to use again :0)

I have used a Panduro? girl kindly sent to me by Tammi, thanks Tammi x Coloured her with my markers in the same colours as the gorjuss girl a few days ago and then I found some freebie papers from a magazine which were perfect, the swirly one is the free one, the stripy is DCWV.

Finished with some punched flowers and another pretty butterfly from a past Docrafts magazine.

Other exciting news is my Spring Magnolia Club kit has just landed on my doormat so I'll have to get cutting and inking!

Thanks for looking xx

Truly Scrumptious #2


I have just discovered this new challenge blog, Truly Scrumptious :0) Love this sketch so had to make a card!

Another Gorjuss girl! in a favourite colour combo of pink and brown. The papers are gorgeous, the swirly one is really glittery, not sure if that shows up on the photo.
I have embossed the circle with a paisley embossing folder and highlighted it with chalk ink.

Image coloured with promarkers, I am going to colour a couple in with my prisma's as I have limited colours in the markers and only 1 colour for the hair, so I think I'll have a go at black hair and try a more goth look :0) watch this space!!
Anyway thanks for looking and Hello to my new followers!!!

SugarBowl Christmas!


Two Gorjuss girls in one day!! I suddenly realised the current challenge over at the SugarBowl finishes tomorrow! I dont know where those 2 weeks have gone :0)

So I have coloured another Gorjuss girl in winter colours this time and made this Christmas card, the 1st this year!

The papers, buttons and alpha stickers are from a past Scrapagogo kit, Decembers? I think, I love the olive green and chocolate colours together!

Thanks for a great challenge Sugar girlies ;0)


PTW - Fab sketch by Dawny


My card using this week's fabulous sketch by Dawny over at PaperTakeWeekly. I was VERY lucky to be able to stamp a few Gorjuss girls out whilst at a friends last weekend :0) They really are gorjuss and great to colour, thanks Ger! Take a look at Ger's blog, she has made some gorgeous cards with the gorjuss girls!!

I will have to get a couple when they hit the shop as singles!! Cant wait to see the 2nd set too!

I have coloured the image with promarkers, adding highlights with a white pen. The papers are a mix of DCWV spring stack and Papermania Retro Floral. Sentiment is Elzybells and the pretty butterfly and flower were freebies with a Docrafts magazine.

Thanks for looking xx

Penny Black Saturday - Something to eat!


My card for this week's challenge over at Penny Black Saturday. The theme is 'something to eat' and I found this stamp I have'nt used in ages and the ducks are having some food!!

It's a lovely day here in Scotland, fingers crossed Spring is here :0) so this inspired me to use some nice bright colours for the card. I have'nt put a sentiment on the card as I think I will use this as a notecard to catch up with a friend :0)

Image coloured with prisma's, paper and cardstock is stampin up.

Thanks for looking x
