Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday Challenge 86 ......

This week theere is another great sketch for you at Sketch Saturday, the challenge this week is sponsored by Sketch Saturday design team member Emma.   Emma is an independant Stampin' Up demonstrator and she has kindly offered a large tag punch for the winner of this weeks challenge.

The sketch was lovely to work with and I am sure this one will be used again when I am looking for some inspiration.

I have used my cute Squiggles and Giggles "girl with balloon" stamp, coloured with promarkers, stickles stardust glitter glue, glossy accents for the balloon, papers were free on a magazine, whitewash c/s sanded,  DCWV c/s, retro flower punches, gems.  Another card ready for one of  Philip's nursery friends!!

The snow has almost gone , the rain today has washed it away!!  We have had this snow for more than 4 weeks here, I finally got my car back on wednesday!!!   I did e-mail Citroen last week as I was fed up of the garage giving us different dates each time my car should have been ready, Citroen helped out by offering to pay for a courtesy car, and I am so grateful for that but as if by magic the part arrived into the garage the same day so I got my car back!!  We have had previous dealings with another garage in this group after we bought a car from them last year, we never got that car!!

It has been a busy week although I feel like I have really acheived nothing much at all???  I have been busy working on some new design team projects, which I will be sharing soon!!   I promise to be a better blogger and catch up with all of my friends over the weekend!!  Thanks for finding the time to stop by and leave your kind comments, I really enjoy reading them all.

Papertake Weekly Challenge 31 .....

There is a nice and simple sketch to use this week at Papertake Weekly.  I have used it to make another card ready for some of the parties Philip has been invited to.  This weeks challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and they are giving $25 voucher for their online store!!

I have used my "monster boy" stamp from squiggles and giggles, coloured with promarkers, glossy accents for the balloon, papers are BG archaic, DCWV c/s, sentiment is craftwork cards.

We have had more snow, just when I was hoping it would go!!  I'm not looking forward to the start of school as I still haven't got my car back???  :o(   It should be ready sometime this week, but it is so difficult to get around in this weather with Philip.

Its nice to see that we are all finding more time to craft again, I love to visit your blog's to see what you have made and I do apprecieate the lovely comments you leave afterr your visit.  Thanks for stopping by today,

Sketch and Stash Challenge 25 .....

I thought it was time I made a card for a challenge, I have been so busy getting everything ready for Christmas that I didnt really have much time left to make a card.  We had a lovely day, surrounded by a mountain of new toys and empty cardboard boxes!! I think most of the day is spent trying to get the toys out of the boxes, I'm suure anyone with small children would agree!!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day too!! 

I have used this great sketch from Sketch and Stash challenge 25, Lols will also be selecting her Guest Designer from the entrants of this challenge. I have used my new Squiggles & Giggles "Daisy with balloon" stamp, coloured with promarkers, stickles stardust, glossy accents,  MS punch, neglected PM sweet nothings papers, retro flower punches, gems.

Philip had party invites for yesterday and today, and another couple in January including his own birthday party, so I thoughht I would start to make some cards suitable for his friends!!!

I have been busy making some of my design team cards, so I will be sharing them with you soon!! Thanks for stopping by,
