Good Morning,

And do we have an interesting challenge for you over at

It really got me thinking.

Did you guess?

If you are not sure of the lyrics hop on over to the main challenge blog where you will find them as well as more ideas from the talented DT

I went with:

When the bee stings, I think the title may have been a big clue!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAS @ MAWTT

Good Morning everyone,

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Moving Along with The Times

The BOSS  Hazel is hosting this week 

Clean & Simple

is her chosen theme

I grabbed this fab digi for free from Meljens Designs FB page the other weekend. It's called  'Number One Dad Stitched' which can be found here and has 50% off at the moment. I printed it off on a white piece of 5.5" card which was mounted onto a black mat. I then printed it off on a piece of blue & brown nitwits paper, cut out the letters and used them to paper piece the image.

I was pleased with the outcome so made a second one using the remaining letters.

Not sure which one I prefer! & I'm not sure why the card looks blue, it is definitely white

Hope one over to the main challenge blog for some fabulous ideas from the girls of team A.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #210

 Good Afternoon, It should have been good morning but I am running late.

This is due to going away Thursday/Friday then being at a Church fair Saturday selling my bits. The weather was not kind to us so all the stalls were moved from the church yard to inside the church. Despite this the fair was very well attended and sales were OK!

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

has a new sketch for you to play with, compliments of me as Kathleen is having connection problems.

Here it is:

Hope you like it and will join in the challenge this week.

I was asked to make a card for my Son's partner for her Nephew who supports Everton. I used this brief along with this weeks sketch to make my DT card , what's the saying? Kill 2 birds with 1 stone!

I used a Meljens image which I coloured with markers. I printed off a Sassy Designs  paper in grey scale from the Harlow Digital Paper Pack. All layers were mounted onto black card and round the image I added a piece of bakers twine. The sentiment fish tails were designed and cut on the silhouette as were the stars.

Please do come and join in this weeks challenge, the more the merrier!

FSC #60

Good Morning my crafty friends,

Not sure where this last week has gone! Since my last treatment on Monday 27th I seem to have slept constantly, can't physically keep my eyes open. Got all my DT cards done prior to the treatment so as to be organised but forgot to post this yesterday, how bad is that!!!!

Anyway I'm here now with my creation for the new challenge over at Friday Sketch Challenge using this super sketch designed by the lovely Claudia
 

 

We are sponsored by the fabby Meljens Designs

 

 

I have used an image from Meljens - Big Sweater Kid which I have coloured with Copics.

I then used a craft knife to rough up the edges before distressing with TH ink

 

The papers are all printed from the Do Crafts CD - Wellington Past Times Collection which again was roughed up and distressed as per the image. The sentiment was from the same CD and was added to the paper before printing off. Brown card was used to mount all layers on before adding to the card blank. How simple was that!

This image can be coloured in your fav teams colours and is great for all ages.

 

To enter this fortnights challenge all you need to do is, create a card using this week's sketch. You can flip, rotate or use as is, adding embellies where you wish.

Hop on over to the challenge blog for more great ideas.
