A Sketch

Hi everyone, good morning. Hope you are all well and fine. Today after work I've decided to go do some shopping as since I've stopped wearing a uniform to go to work my love of shopping has come back to me again and I just can't stop shopping woops :D .. .........

So a scheduled post today and I have my DT Card for the new challenge starting today at Crafty Sentiments. The theme for this week is a sketch and our lovely Katrina has prepared a really nice one for us to play with.

For my card I used the really sweet Patches Hitting the Books digi image which I coloured with my promarkers and then I used some gorgeous Back to School papers from Nitwits Collections. Even the apple and the crayons were in the Nitwits pack, but not the sentiment, which was a freebie from Stamp Fairy. Quite a quick card when you got such a nice sketch to follow.

This is the gorgeous sketch if you would like to play with us for your chance to win a lovely prize from the Crafty Sentiments store.

Autumn

Hello, good morning everyone and a Happy Sunday to all. Hope you are having a nice day. Still nice and sunny here and today hubby has already left for Paris. My boys are still asleep after a long night out yesterday so having some time for myself blog hopping and to prepare my post for today before I start preparing lunch and whatever else there is to do..

Anyway, it's a new challenge today at One Stitch at a Time and the theme for this week is

AUTUMN 

Just couldn't find very Autumnly coloured papers in my stash, but finally found these and thought they would be fine as well. The sweet image of this little boy is one of Stitchy's gorgeous digis and I have coloured it with my promarkers. Am using two different dies today, the scalloped circle, which is from Nestabilities and the Number 4 die, which I am using for the first time and is from Die-Namics.

We are this week sponsored by Crimson Cloud with a selection of die cuts for the winner.

I'm Back

Yes that's right.. I'm back home. We've moved back home from our Summer residence this week so I've been busy busy packing and cleaning up back home...  My boys will be starting school at the end of this month, hubby will this Sunday be going abroad on work to Paris and Hong Kong so we decided it was time for us to go back. Well all good things have to come to an end but back home I have my craft room and all you my friends in blogland to look forward too... so I'm very very happy still   :) 

And I still have managed to do a card this week as well ...  which is my DT card for this week's new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

The theme for this week is

USE SENTIMENT AS A FOCAL POINT

I have to admit that I didn't know what to do at first as I hardly make these style of cards, but then I remembered my large 'On Your Wedding Day' rubber stamp that I had and thought that it would be perfect for my card......... Very quick too when I decided on what other things to put on my card... The centre dies are Nestabilites, corner rolled roses, leaves and bride and groom, which I'm using for the first time, are all Marianne Creatables dies.

This week we are sponsored by Stamp and Create with a fab $20 gift voucher

and we also have our monthly sponsor who is Joanna Sheen store with another fantastic £10 voucher.

As I said I am back so I would love to start entering some challenges again ... so here goes :)

It was sunny on Saturday and Sunday ... but definitely not today (Monday) .. the day I'm writing this post!!! Yes it's raining and pouring and thunder and lightning!!!! mmm I wonder if it's the end of Summer here but no, weather forecasts doesn't predict any more rain for this week, so let's hope they are right! yay !!

Anyway onto my card, and today it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments and the theme for this week is MALE CARDS.

For my card this time I decided to use one of the last stamps released as still hadn't used this gorgeous Tobey Arr Captain stamp. A quick card today.. I coloured Tobey with my promarkers and then finished off my card with some card candy and corner die cuts.

Music or Movie

Hello Happy Weekend to all. Hope you are having a nice day. Still hot and sunny here and today we're off to the beach. Our Summer residence is so much smaller so not a lot of housework to do and I also haven't been able to go for a swim once this week having been so busy at the office and staying later, so definitely I'm going today.. I love swimming so much.... will really miss it when it gets cooler.

Anyway, it's a new challenge today at Sweet Stampin' and the challenge for this week is 

INSPIRED BY A SONG or MOVIE

I have been inspired by a song of course....  after seeing this fun digi waiting for me to use it for the first time!!! .. and the song that came up to my mind is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun from Cindy Lauper.. from which you can clearly know my age ha ha :)

We are this week sponsored by Papelitos Stamps with the winner getting 3 digis from the store and 1 digi as a second prize for the runner up. 

Hope you like my card and maybe have inspired you to come and join our challenge this week.

Thank you for looking.

Hugs
