Getting crafty with NEC Stash

I had a fab day at the NEC on Thursday and managed to get lots of new crafty goodies. Even better was the fact that I had my own personal bag carrier with me (hubby lol!!!!). I have been itching to get crafty with my new items and finally had the chance today when Abbie wanted to do some crafting with me. To help me along the way I followed a couple of sketches.

This card was made using the fabby sketch over at Papertake Weekly, I have mostly followed the sketch apart from slightly moving the sentiment over to the left.

Papers - MME Penny Lane (NEC)

This card follows a great sketch over on Sweet Sketch Wednesday, this is the first time I have entered one of their challenges and I really enjoyed working with this sketch.

Say Hello to Nikki

Hi All, well I have finally managed to get round to doing some crafting just for myself. I decided to have a play with my new Nikki stamps from Ladybug Crafts Ink. To make things a little easier for myself I followed a couple of sketch challenges.

MAWTT - Has a fabby sketch with an open theme this week. This is the first time I have got round to entering this challenge even though I jot all the sketches down. I did flip the sketch however for my card (only cause I stamped the image on the wrong side !!!)
