Lucy's Sketch No. 5

Last day of Lucy's sketch challenge.  Gosh I've had loads of fun.  It's been so nice just getting in the creative zone and I just love a sketch challenge.

For this card I have used October Afternoon paper again (as in Day 2) Stampin Up Butterfly stamp and punch, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, dymo label, red/white twine, green brads and red/white gathered gingham trim. I stamped the butterfly stamp a couple of times - one for the stamped/punched butterfly and then again so I could use the Martha Stewart punch to punch out the little butterflies.

I've tweaked the sketch a little here and there but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for looking.

Lucy's Cards Sketch No. 4

For today's card at Lucy's place I have used the gorgeous "Girls Paperie" patterned papers and Pink Paislee "Butterfly Garden Collection" stamps.  I love both of these.

I have added some hand stitching and cut out the scallops to attach to the back of the semi circle.  I also added some sepia ink here and there.

Thanks for looking.

Card Positioning Systems Sketch 249

Yet another challenge.  Boy am I having fun. This time Card Positioning Systems have a sketch.

Working away in the heat today has been a challenge in itself but it's keeping my mind off it - mostly!!!!  I think it was 35 degrees here today - seems hotter but that is for tomorrow - it's supposed to reach 40 - NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my card using old Wild Asparagus paper, Spellbinders Die, Kaisercraft Resin flowers, sticky alphas by Jillibean Soup and some blossom that I picked up in a craft shop in town.

Thanks for looking.

Inspirational Challenge - who's up for it?????????

Tammy was talking over lunch about an idea she has to store her earrings.

She wanted a sheet of steel mesh ideally to be able to attach the MANY earrings she has in her collection now.  One for every week of the year!!!!!!!

So we didn't have any mesh and so I suggested that she use a round embroidery frame that I picked up at the op shop a few months ago and also to pop a piece of aida cloth I had in my stash of "things to do one day".........LOL.

Here is the image

Now I challenge you to be inspired by this image in any way you like - it could be the colour, style, anything at all.

Challenge is open til the end of January.

Your time starts now.

Happy creating.

Craft Queen

I decided to use up some of Nicole's beautiful ribbons that have been sitting on my desk - you know me by now, I simply can't throw even the smallest pieces of ribbon out.  So - I got to and made this card.

I also used Distress Stain for the Doily - loved the deep colour green it turned out.  I was inspired by the small scrap of daisy patterned paper I had leftover from a card yesterday and it all came together nicely.

Happy creating.

Once again - I have been doing my fave thing - using up scraps.

Card Patterns Sketch 146

I have to say I've been having fun just creating away today.

I thought I'd enjoy the holiday break by joining in some on line challenges.

This card was created for Card Patterns Sketch challenge no. 146

I have used patterned papers by Creative Imaginations "Loolah" which I just love, the stamp is by "A Muse Art Stamps" cute little teddy he is and then I've added some hand doodling around the circles and wrote "welcome little one", the baby photo is actually from a sticker sheet I picked up in the $2 shop. 

I used the same torn concept as I did on my original layout a few years ago now of my gorgeous little Sudanese friend Stephen.

I just love this layout - he was such a gorgeous little bubba!!!!!

Thanks for looking.

Luv Sandie

Just adding:  I made the Super 6 for this sketch - have to say I was a little excited about that!!!! Yay!!!!

Celebrate Card

Finally - here is my card for My Blog Challenge "Celebrate".

I have used Octobe Afternoon paper, a little old stamp I've had for ages and coloured with Copics - still learning, I used some gorgeous red felt packaging for the frame - it was leftover from a christmas decoration box, Martha Stewart butterfly punch - is there any other? NO!!!, and other bits and bobs.

Thanks for looking.

Feel free to join in.
