Friday Sketchers

Made this card following the sketch over on Friday Sketchers. Didnt really turn out how I hoped so am not 100% happy with this. Think its the colour scheme really looks a bit washed out now, added some distressing to the edges of the papers and again hasnt turned out right.



Image is Tidla with Tulips from Magnolia, Papermania Blueberry Hill papers, Craftwork Cards sentiment, Poppicraft flowers & Papermania shimmer dots.

Sugar Bowl Sketch

This is the first of a couple of posts on here tonight, kids were at nan & grandads last night, hubby wasnt in till late so I had a couple of hours to myself. I managed to get a few cards for some challenges done but have popped them on separate post to make them easier to find.

This card is following the fab sketch over on the Sugar Bowl, with the added extra of ribbon & bows. I used this gorgeous little stamp, after having a look through my stamp box I realised I had only used her once before and she was feeling a little neglected lol!!!!.



The papers are My Minds Eye and they are just delish with all glitter on them, Craftwork Cards oval sentiment, Papermania shimmer dots & ribbon from stash.

Teacher Cards

Hi everyone,

Wow!!! it seems ages since I last posted, with so much going on I just havent found the time. Thanks for all your lovely messages about Abbie, she is so much better now and is running about the place like mad. We are off on our hols on sat for 2 weeks and I am really looking forward to it, I think it will do us all the world of good.

I havent been making cards as other things just took over really, but I realised on Thurs night that I hadnt done the teacher ones and so made these up quite quickly.

Sorry about the poor quailty on the last 2 pics, took them quite quickly on the Fri morning and and now its too late to get a better picture.

A few Challenges

Thanks to everyone who gave me the info on the stamp I was looking for. I did manage to track it down at ladybug&friends.

I have made a few cards for some challenges. You will have to excuse the pics on the first 2 as I made them at work yesterday and a woman came in a wanted them so I had to take the pics pretty quickly.

This one is for the Sugar Bowl challenge and is a fab sketch.

Magazine card & help needed & More bad news

Hi all, well we have had some rubbish news again today (think tuesday's are not my fave days at the moment). Abbie has been quite ill all weekend with high temp, headaches, lethargic and generally feeling really poorly. We put it down to the psuedomonas, her nurse came to see her today and straight away said it was nothing to do with that and we should contact the NHS Direct straight away. She is now being treated for Swine Flu poor little mite, so again we are having a very bad day. I just dont think we can take much more really, we are just so stressed at the moment.


Anyway thought I would show you the card I made for Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine, Issue 68 comes out on the 10th and I had to make a card and tag using some papers they sent me. I chose to use a fabby little gorjuss girl and this is the outcome. Hope you like.




Next I need your help!!!!!! I recieved this image in a swap and would now like to buy the stamp. The problem is I cant find it anywhere, I thought it was a RAM design but have searched the Stampavie website to no avail. So if you know who is is by, what its called and where I can get it from please let me know.




Thanks

A few cards

Finally I have a few cards to show you. I have managed to find a couple of hours to myself amongst all the chaos and came up with these. They are not for any challenges I just made them cause I wanted to & needed to, was getting major withdrawal symptoms.







Whilst sorting of my stuff, I came across this fab paper and embellishment pack which came free with a mag. So I decided to put it to good use at long last.
The images are Greetings Farm, Sugar Nellie & Messy Rabbit, flowers are Floral Doodles by petaloo and Papermania adhesive gems.

Finally here is a piccy of my little angel with her Nebuliser, she is such a star!!!!!.


As you can tell by her face, she is looking a little unwell at the moment, its so sad to see her so different from her normal self.
