Friday Sketchers card

There is fab sketch this week at Friday Sketchers and here is my card made following the sketch. I am so in love with these little Wiff of Joy gnomes at the moment - and I think that this is my favourite out of the 4 that I bought. All the papers are by Bo Bunny as are the flowers which I have lightly sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The little sentiment is by Making Memories.


I am having a lazy day at home today and may even get started on wrapping up the Christmas presents for the kids that I have already bought - we are heaading off to Spain on holiday on 16th December, so I really need to get a bit of a move on and get organised as all the presents will need to be delivered to Aberdeen in the next couple of weeks before we head off to my little Wendy House in paradise!!

Copics Colour Challenge #38

I can hardly believe that it is Wednesday already - where does the time go? We have another set of fab colours for you to work with at Copics Colour Challenge this week and remember that if you do not have these exact colours, we are more than happy for you to just use your nearest. As long as you have used similar Copic markers, you will be eligible for the prize which this week is being offered by Paper Pretties and is a whole set of stamps - how fabulous!!


This week I have chosen to make a little gift card holder - I will be needing quite a few of these at Christmas time so at least I have got one out of the way now. I can't remember where I got the tutorial for this one, but the base is made from 1 piece of card which is 11" by 4.5" and then scored at 5.5" 3" and 8", it is then folded in half to create the centre piece to hold the gift-card and the other two sided folded back to create the front and back of the little booklet. I have then used one of the labels nesties to created the opening in the centre piece for holding the card. The whole thing has been decorated with Bo Bunny papers and the image in the front is one of the Manga Christmas stamps from Sugar Nellie.






I will be back later this evening with my card for the new challenge over at Nutty Nutshells Wednesday.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 76 - Sketch

At A Spoon Full of Sugar this week we have a fabulous sketch from our own DT member Sonja for you to follow and I have just loved this one, as did the rest of the DT - thanks Sonja.

We also have a fabulous prize of one of Kraftin Kimmie's new stamps which is being offered by our sponsor Bryony from Silly Monkey crafts - you can read all about it Here


This week I have used one of the snowmen from the Darcies set that I got a few weeks back, the papers are by Bo Bunny - just love these, and still have quite a few of these skeets thanks to a lovely little stash that I got from my Squiggle Stamps pal Tracy. The snowflake is a combination of a sticker and a couple of Martha Stewart punched snowflakes, sentiment is from a Woodware clear set.

Enjoy the sketch this week and I look forward to seeing your beautiful cards with it.
