Crafting Wednesday

It's a lovely sunny day here today,I should,I suppose be making the most of the sunshine but instead I'm doing what I love to do which is make cards, naughty really as I've a some jobs that need doing but I'd seen a few challenges that I fancied doing and as I had an anniversary card to make I thought I'd craft first,do jobs later.

I love this cute image another in set Suzy 6 by Marij Rahder,I stamped it with Momento Tuxedo Black and coloured it using Copics.If anyone knows of a Marij Rahder Challenge blog,let me know as I do seem to use a lot of her images at the mo,lol.
I have added liquid glaze to the heart and the eyes of the Daisies,added heart brads and a heart button that I've had in my stash for ages.I used a Martha Stewart punch on the strip across,punched hearts using a quickutz die.
I've used this card for the following challenges:-
The Shabby Tea Room Week 12, Dear to my Heart.
Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 71.
Sketch Saturday week 105,

Sir Stampalot June Challenge,
I also made it for a challenge that stipulated using 1 button and 1 bow but forgot to make a note of who set the challenge. If anyone knows,please could you tell me!
Thanks for stopping by,I'm off to do some ironing now:(
Scrapbooking tonight though,will let you know what this weeks class held tomorrow!
Happy Crafting,

Double Challenge

Second and final visit of the day,this time with the other male card I made yesterday. Same stamp I know but I can get away with that,can't I?

I followed The Shabby Tea Room Week 4 challenge,Embrace the white, making a card with a mainly white theme,you were able to use one other colour along with the white,obviously I chose to add green using My Minds Eye Quite Contrary paper. The Sketch Challenge that I followed is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge M.T.S.C.68. I will definitely use this sketch again on a girlie card as it was so nice to do.
That's all for today folks!
Thanks for stopping by,
catch you later in the week,

Double Challenge.

Hope you've had a good weekend so far and that you remembered to alter your clocks last night.
It is going to be nice not to have to close the curtains so early tonight!

Thought I'd combine a couple of challenges with this card today,firstly the Copic colour challenge where this weeks colours were;Olive,Blue Violet and Walnut. I used my Gorguss girl again for this sketch,I love the fact that her tights look best with colours you wouldn't normally think of putting together,in fact they are my favourite thing to colour! I'm sure that they still had some of this lovely stamp for sale when I popped into Scrapbook Sisters yesterday if you want to get your hands on it.
I carried on the line of the stamp with a black fine liner pen and stamped my greeting on it.
The other challenge that I'm entering this card for is the CPS 160 sketch. the sketch had a circular greeting and I chose to sit my Gorjuss girl in this position instead. The paper I've used was an off cut from my last weeks Scrapbooking class,have no idea who the papers were by but they were so lovely that I even managed to do 2 layouts in class. Most unheard of!
See you tomorrow when I can show you the card I made for the lovely Karen at Scrapbook Sisters who's birthday it is then. Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow Karen!

Mojo Monday

And she's back in the room lol ! Not wanting to let the grass grow I thought I'd get straight back in the saddle and do the Mojo Monday card sketch. What a lovely simple sketch it is too.

The tulip stamps were bought for me so many years ago that I really have no idea who it's by, it was part of a set that included lots of other flower stamps,really must dig them out and use them. Easter Wishes was my freebie stamp received when I bought another Easter Image from Pink Gem Designs.
Hope you like it,

What a day!

I've had what I can only describe as a challenging day today,one of those days where everything seems to be against you. Still,I thought,I'll do a little challenge and found this sketch to follow but guess what, today is in fact Friday,not Thursday like I thought it was lol!

So here is the entry for the challenge that closed on Thursday evening,obviously not entered with it being Friday! As I said WHAT A DAY! I so love this cute image, it's called
Milly with chickens,and is by Pink Gems designs,as is the Easter greeting. She was so lovely to colour with my lovely Copic pens!
Tomorrow's a new day and hopefully a much better one than today so will stop my ramblings and hope that you'll call back and catch me then.
Till then,take care,
thanks for stopping by,

Sketch Saturday

Twice in one evening,making up for the lack of posts in the week! Not really,it was just that I happened to take a quick look at this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge and noticed it was nearly identical to the card I'd made for Mum.

So before I tidied away my stash for the day I thought I'd make another quick card using some other off cuts from Wednesday's class. Luckily I'd already coloured in another pot of pansies that also happened to tone with the papers.
Hope you like it,

The Sugar Bowl

Doing a bit of blog hopping this evening I came across another sketch challenge and being a bit of a Sugar Nellie fan I just had to enter this one! The theme is "Shabby Chic though I must admit that I hadn't realised this until I read it back through after making the card. I'm really hoping that this can class as Shabby Chic but if it doesn't that's another lesson I've learnt,"Always read instructions thoroughly!"


I'm not sure who all the papers are by but some Crate Paper and the rest are off cuts from my overflowing drawer.
Thanks for dropping by to take a look,
hope you call by again soon,
