Mojo Monday wk 69

Last card from me tonight, I just wanted to get the sketch for Mojo Monday in before it was too late. I have gone a bit more grown up with this card, and have chosen an image from one of the fabulous Kerry Jo sketches. Ran into a slight mishap though and punched the circle slightly to the right to much so have tried to balance the left side out with the 3 flowers (hope this has worked). I also got to use my fabby new Fiskars lace punch I really really want a MSDP but this will have to do, however my gorgeous daddy has just ordered one off ebay for me and is paying for it for my birthday (which isnt till April) so I cant have it till then. We call my dad 'The Ebay King' as he has a shop on there and buys and sells collectable Vintage Corgi Cars and Icons, he has a massive collection of them worth a fortune and Oli loves to go round there and look at them. So whenever I want anything off ebay dads the man in the know!!.

The backing paper is Doodlebug, with Bazzill Bling cardstock punched with Fiskars lace border punch. Kerry Jo image, Prima flowers with Papermania pearl brads and Craftwork Cards oval sentiment.

The inside

Again Doodlebug paper, Bazzill Bling cardstock, Prima flower with PM pearl brad and HOTP card quote.

Sister-in-Law birthday card meets Sketch Saturday

OMG it feels so good to finally be out of bed. I have had a few sneeky peeps on here with my lappie balancing on the bed, but my head has been so fuzzy I couldnt stay on for long. I am no where near better but I feel much better than I did on Sunday, my poor hubby had to come home from work and look after me. Bless him he has been really good looking after Oli and me, Abbie had to go over to my moms as she couldnt be around me just incase. You know your vows when you say for better or for worse, well he has definately seen me looking my worse these last couple of days, and he still says i'm beautiful not sure what he's after lol !!!!. Anyway I really needed to get 3 cards made by the weekend so have braved it tonight, and I must say I am quite happy with how they have turned out. This first card is for my Sister-in-law for her birthday and I have used one of my new Hanglar images that I purchased off ebay (not sure if they are allowed to sell them, but it means I got my fix anyway). I have also tried to follow the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card, although I did cut a couple of my papers slightly wrong but im hoping that its still ok.

The image is Hanglar, Bazzil swiss dots cardstock, papers are Papermania Scruptious range, flowers are from Poppicrafts with a Dovecraft flower brad in the centre, charm from ebay, computer generated sentiment & buttons from the shop.

Forever Friends Open Challenge

We have had the new Forever Friends decoupage in at the shop and I have been busy making some samples. So I thought I might as well put some on and enter into the FF Challenge blog, which is an open theme this week.



The image is obviously a FF decoupage, the dotty paper came in the pack with the decoupage and the stripy paper was from my stash. The ribbon is also new from Papermania and the black cardstock I think is Swiss Dots from Bazzill.
