Sketch Saturday ~ Wk 26

Thanks to everyone who joined in last week ~ I am amazed at the response every week, it no wonder Jo's sketchs are always so great to work with. I want to apologise for not being able to visit you all ~ life is just so busy lately ~ but I will try harder.

Well Jo has created another fabulous sketch this week ~ thanks hun.




I had lots of fun with this sketch again this week and thought I'd get Charlie out of his packaging as i haven't had a chance to use him yet. Oh and what a pleasure it was to colour him ~ and I can't beleive how quick I put this card together this week.

I brought some new gorgeous Filigrees from Eggstravaganza (thanks for the link Bev) and really wanted to use some of them on my card, but realised I didn't have a snowflake punch big enough to place behind them, so went with some white flowers ~ well they sort of look a little like snowflakes, lol......




And here's a close up of the very cute Charlie..... don't you just love him !!

Magnolia v Stampative, WOJ + CCT

Hi everyone, hope our all well and having a good week.

I did a little crafting at the weekend for 3 challenges - wow I can't beleive it myself.

I have lots of new stamps and couldn't stop myself from having a little play, lol


Magnolia Vs Stampavie


There a great sketch this week and I just couldn't resist using one of my new stamps from the Magnolia ~ Christmas/Winter Club Kit ~





I think I should have coloured Tildas coat in a more darker red ~ doesn't really match the gorgeous ribbon ~ and as always thought about this after I put the card together, lol ...... and didn't want to mess it up - so will have to do this time.


Here's a Close Up

Sketch Saturday # 25




Hi everyone hope you've all had a good day.

Sorry I'm late again with my card for Sketch Saturday - I just couldn't get a good picture last night, so had to give up... I'm still not sure this one is ok ~ but I had to go with it.
Jo has another fabulous sketch this week and also it Mariska's birthday today, so hope you'll all join me in wishing her a very Happy Birthday ~ hope you have a great day hun.





There's some yummy candy to be won again this week - so why not pop over and take a peek. The DT have all made such fabulous cards again - wow girls you amaze me every week with your gorgeous creations.


Well I used one of my new WOJ image for the Winter & Christmas collection ~ I just love these fabulous stamps and can't get enough of them

Say hello to ~ LIZZIE




I'm sorry Jo I messed up the sketch with the sentiment, after I threaded the snowflake onto the ribbon and tied the bow and fixed it to the card, I realised I had no room for where the sentiment should go - so had to improvise, lol
