Sketch Saturday Challenge # 214

Good morning, there is a great sketch (above) to follow this week over at Sketch Saturday . It certainly made me think and here is my interpretation of it.

I have used a brand new stamp and sentiment from LOTV, some gorgeous bright Spring papers from a great pad 'Family Ties'.  Some ric-rac ribbon and brown pearls together finish it off.  Have coloured in with my ever faithful Promarkers and outlined with grey.

This week, The Craft Barn are sponsoring the challenge and the prize is a £10 voucher.

Do pop on over to see the other Design Team makes, they are stunning!

Back tommorrow with a card using the July Club Stamp from Little Claire's.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Beach Huts

Good afternoon, hope you are enjoying all of this glorious sunshine? Have been out in the garden today catching some rays before the 'Murray' match starts on the telly.

Here is another 'Chrimbo' card using a brand new Little Claire stamp called 'Christmas Beach Huts'.  You can win this gorgeous stamp, just pop on over to the Blog  and enter.

I have used some Papermania papers on my card.  Some blue striped bakers twine, two nautical buttons, an Die-Namics tag die and a LC Christmas sentiment.  Have coloured in with Promarkers and added some card candy.

Have started the holiday ironing and packing, but it's far to hot to carry on.  Off to make a card for a lovely friend who has just lost her dad, so am sending her lots of love and hugs.

Enjoy Wimbledon and 'Come On Murray'!!!!

Christmas Owls

Good morning, am here to share with you a card I have made using the fabulous new Christmas stamp from Little Claire.  . Today and Thursday, you have the chance of winning one of these lovely new stamps, which are being launched this week. Just pop on over to the blog.

OMG I really am not feeling at all Christmassy, especially as I am off on my hols soon, but anyone that knows me, knows that I absolutely love owls, so it wasn't at all hard to play with this image.

I have kept this card very simple, just right for me as I have mountains of Christmas cards to make this year.

I have used a great Craftwork Card shape, some Papermania papers, Stamping Up cardstock, wooden snowflakes and brown card candy - simples!  Watch out for this little card in August, when it will be featured in a magazine.

Having a big crafty day and lunch with my lovely crafty friend today, whatever your doing, have fun!

Men's Class

Good evening, a very quick post from me this evening.  I wanted to share one of the class cards from last week that my ladies made.

It was using one of the fabulous Michael Powell stamps.  We coloured in with Promarkers and added some new Marianne dies (shells and anchor) that I treated myself too.  The bunting is a Tando one and the papers are from Craft Creations.

Having a really busy week, lots to get organised before my hols.  Have mountains of dt work to get finished and a couple of projects that must be completed before I go on holiday, I do love being busy!

Off to get some started and have a large glass of Pinot to help me along lol. Will be back tommorrow with the other class makes.

Have a great evening!

Little Claire Monthly Challenge # 22 - 'Jubilee'

Good morning, hope your Sunday will be a fun filled day with lots of sunshine? We have at last got rid of the floods that have been affecting local areas, but the winds have set in now, which to my advantage, has been great for getting lots of washing done today lol.  We are off abroad in a few weeks, our first family holiday in many years, so am trying hard to get everything washed, ironed and put away before we go to get some much needed sunshine.

Anyway, another month has flown by again and now is the launch of a brand new challenge over at Little Claire's  . The theme is 'Jubilee'. We thought it would be lovely to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee, on-going footie matches and forthcoming Olympics and Paralympics.  So we want to see red/white/blue papers and themed embellies on your cards.  You don't have to use a Little Claire image, but it would be great if you could.

Here is my 'Jubilee' themed card as above.  I have used the following products :

Little Claire 'Loverly Jubblie' 'Daisy Bunting' stamp
Sunshine Sentiment Stamp
Stitches & Buttons Stamp Set
Papermania Portabello Road Papers
Die-Namics 'Fish Tail' banner dies
Die-Namics 'Doily' Die
Linen Thread
Cream Pearls

You have until Friday 13th July @ 18:00pm to enter the challenge, there is a great prize of Little Claire goodies up for grabs, so hurry up and find those 'Jubilee' papers to make up your cards.

Off to get the family fed and as the footie will be on again, had better get making some lists for the holiday and hopefully make some more DT cards.

Have a lovely evening!
