Good Morning,

Friday's here again which means a weekend is upon us. Weekends means time to craft yippee!!!

Here is my card following Christine's sketch turned up side down

I have used one of our sponsors images Doggie Tutu. I have used copics & chalks to colour in the image. I used copics to colour the ribbon (that my new pyjamas were wrapped in) so that it matched the image. The paper are quite a few years old from DCWV.

Still in the process of sorting some candy which I will post over the weekend!

I will also get round to paying a visit to your wonderful blogs

Friday Sketch Challenge #37

Good Morning,

Well I'm begining to feel better after being off work since Tuesday lunchtime. I had a toothache since the Wed before but with work commitments kept going, Monday night I was awake most of the night so went to the dreaded dentist, got antibiotics and just this morning feel they are working.

 Hope I've lost a few pounds as I've been unable to eat much, I've survived on porridge (sweet cinnamon, very nice) & creme caramel

It's time for a new challenge over @ Friday Sketch Challenge.

Some sad news.

It is with much sadness & disbelief that I write this post.

Yesterday I had some very sad news. 

I read a post on The Digi Diva's blog from one of my team mates  informing the team of a post they had seen on the home page of The Digi Garden store.

It had been posted by Lisa (Jacqui's sister) advising that Jacqui owner and Artist of The Digi Garden had passed away.

Jacqui had suffered poor health for a while but none of us expected to hear such sad news. All of us are shocked and extremely saddened and I know Jacqui and her cute images will be missed by all.

I have only known Jacqui for a short while since becoming a Digi Diva. However this has been long enough for me to realise that she was a very talented, kind & generous Lady who will be sadly missed.

 I have loved being a part of the Digi Garden Divas and I would like to thank Jacqui for allowing me to  be part of a wonderful team, working with such super cute images.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jacqui's family at this sad time & who was with her when she passed. And who should be very proud of her.

xXx

PS For anyone that has bought digi images recently there is a message on the Digi Garden website from Lisa (Jacqui's sister) advising of how to contact her.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #141

Good Morning,

All the white stuff has melted here in Northampton, can't say I'm sorry as I don't like to drive in it & I have to go back to work tomorrow:(

Any way it's time to introduce a new challenge over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp

This week it's my sketch that we are challenging to work with.

And here it is:

Sponsoring us this week is the super Bugaboo

For my card I chose Theodore - Birthday Sign to work with.

I used my new copics to colour in the image, I'm really enjoying using them!

Then I did a bit of doodling round the edge

The paper is a digi that I printed off in grey scale, I edged it with a spellbinder die along one edge before mounting it onto the black mat. The sentiment was stamped using Dimension Fourth alphabet stamps, this was cut out with and mounted onto a mat that was cut with spellbinder dies. A piece of ribbon was wrapped around the mat before it was mounted onto the card blank.

I hope will join in this week's challenge!
