Friday Sketchers # 60

I'm on a role today :) here's a card I made using the lovely Friday Sketchers sketch:

The image is a clear Forever Friends, the patterned glitter card is by DCWV with two velvet brads to finish.

It's great being able to relax for a while :)

2Sketches4You - Kazan's sketch # 30

I took a fancy to this sketch from 2sketches2you and made this card:

Again it's using the Madeline K&Co paper and also an embellishment from the Madeline range. I hope my RAK for the month will love this card as much as I do.

Take care :)

Mojo Monday # 94

Another week and here's a card made using the Mojo Monday sketch which I love:

I used mostly K&Co stash, my new Brenda Walton Madeline paper and a pretty glitter flower from the Wild Raspberry range. I love the colours of the card.

Sorry I haven't been around, I'm taking antibiotics and painkillers for a sore/tender tooth which was causing me immense pain earlier in the week and it's been a really hectic and stressful week at school. Phew, only one more week to go :) I've been buying some new Christmas stash as I hope to get in the mood to start making some Christmas cards during the summer holidays. I have a thing for snowmen at the moment so have been buying snowmen stamps.

Thanks for looking :)

Mojo Monday # 93

My mojo has gone on holiday I think. I desperately need to make some cards and also some invites for my Mum's 80th birthday, but I just don't have the inclination or energy. Having looked at the Mojo Monday blog I liked the design so decided to have a go for a colleague's birthday card for the 14th. Here it is:

The image is from the Stampin Up set Crazy For Cupcakes and the image I am going to use for the invites. The pretty glittered and embossed patterned paper is by DCWV. We love cakes and cookies in the office at school so guess this card should go down quite well :)

Thanks for looking :)

Willow Sketchie design

Ooops I forgot to use a Willow Sketchie download but here's the second 90th birthday card I made using their sketch:

Again I used the Papermania Blueberry Hill paper and flowers.

Thanks for looking :)

Ooops sorry - long time no see!!!

Sorry I've been lapse in blogging this month. I'm not sure where this month has disappeared to, except that I've worked the last couple of Saturdays and been out over the weekends too, time seems to have run away with me. Still I'm thinking of the extra money for craft buys in August when we're on holiday :) I've also had a cough/cold this past week :( which has kept my energy levels low, on a plus my sister/BIL visited us just over a week ago and my sister and I went for a girly night out to see "Menopause the Musical" which was an absolute hoot.

I haven't done any crafting the last couple of weeks either :( felt fed up this morning but on seeing the Mojo Monday blog I decided to have a go at their sketch as I need to make two 90 birthday cards for residents on the court. Here's the first one:

I used Papermania Blueberry Hill patterned paper and teamed it with some dotted paper I was given free with a magazine. The card is by Stampin Up. Flowers, ribbon, the button and Doodlebug brad and numbers I already had in my stash.

Thanks for looking :) Now off to find some other blog sketches to inspire me.

Friday Sketchers # 55

I saw the Friday Sketchers blog sketch yesterday but didn't have a chance to make a card until today:

I'm pleased with the way it came out although it is a slight variation of the sketch (at the bottom) - you can't get the real effect of the card from the scanned image - sorry. The cardstock is Stampin Up and the pretty patterned paper is a new one by Brenda Walton K&Co "Madeline". It was hard having to cut into it I must say :) I used lace, pearls, flowers and Doodlebug glittered letters to finish off the card. I hope my "aunt" likes it at the end of the month. She's my best friend's Mum so not a blood relative but is very much an aunt to me.
