and here is Colleen's Sketch.... 

Sketchy Time

Hey Everyone

This week at Sketchy our sketch has been designed by Sabine... For my project I decided to do another Scrapbooking page... I think I may be over making cards, after 4 years!!  So I am going back to what I originally started paper crafting with... Photo's!! besides I have heaps pic's of Ruby... so I better do something with them huh?

But I am sure you will still see cards... I still love my Magnolia Stamps!! 

So here is my page, I really hope you love it as much as me:-)

Sketchy Sketch

Hi There

Its time for another sketch at Sketchy Challenges... this fortnight our sketch has been designed by Kirsty-Anne and its chocka's of layers!! 

For my card I have used a Simply Gorjuss stamp which I brought at my local Scrap Super Store!! I have had her for a while so I thought it was time to ink her up.. so here she is, hope you love it as much as me:-)

My papers are from Basic Grey, and I have "Frantaged" the hell out of the image lol.... which is kinda a little to big for the sketch theme but I switched a couple of bits around... to make it work.  Because that is the beautiful thing about sketch's you can do that... just as long as the main idea is there!

Sketchy Time #52

Hi Everyone

It's time for another new sketch at Sketch Challenges... this fortnight our sketch has been designed by Jane... and I have decided to do a scrap book layout instead of a card...

My Papers are from Websters and so is my green lace.  I used the strips at the bottom of the pages to add some extra - they are under the lace.  I've used Magnolia Doo Hickey's and My Minds Eye Dies and also a My Favourite Things! My Flower is from Prima and so is the cute wooden Owl:-) My Chook wire stamp is from Bo Bunny

So I hope you will come along and play this week, just remember you dont always have to make a card if you dont want to:-)

Getting Sketchy!!!

Hi Everyone

I hope your Saturday afternoon has been awesome.... But if not maybe this will help?  It's time for another awesome Sketch at Sketchy Challenges.... this fortnight's sketch has been designed by Hilde...

For my card this week I have used Tvi Tvi Tvi Tilda, from the Little Easter Collection 2013.... I think she is just so cute, sweeping up!! Anyway I made my card into a get well card for a friend of mine who has unfortunately been sick... so hopefully this will help cheer her up!

Here is a closer look at my colouring and also the yummy Frantage I have used around her... I just love that stuff.... I think best invention EVA!! heheheh

And here is the beautiful sketch for you to play with.  I pretty much kept true to it, although I haven't put in as many layers and my sentiment didn't make it to the top..... I actually forgot about that bit HAHAHAH but as you know Sketch's are open to interpretation... just as long as you don't forgot the main feel of the sketch!

So there you go... thats it for me for now...

Getting Sketchy!!

Hi There

This fortnight at Sketchly Challenges, Kylie has made a brilliant sketch for us to follow.  It has lots and lots of layers so I decided to do a Scrapbook page. These photos where taken a while ago but I never got around to actually scrapping them until now... so here is my page, hope you love it:-)

My Papers are from My Minds Eye, flowers from Prima, a La la Land Craft Butterfly die, Kaiser Craft Bingo chippy a ticket and lace.  I distressed around the edged with some walnut stain ink and I used a heap of foam mounting tape to give my page some thing extra!!

Here is Kylie's awesome Sketch...

So we hope you will enjoy playing along with the sketch, we look forward to seeing your work!!

Getting Sketchy with Sandra's Sketch

Hey Everyone!!

There is a brand new sketch for you to play along with at Sketchy Challenges.  This one has been designed by Sandra... and its gorgeous!!

So I have followed the sketch, moved a couple of bits around and added in some other embellishments!!  I also finally got to have a play with some Frantage Embossing powders.... SO MUCH FUN... but gosh I wish my heat gun had 2 settings... it only has one which is full boar.... so just about everything is now Frantaged in my craft room.... ooops a daisy!

 
So um yeah... Frantage is fun, which is why I guess I used a tonne of it!! heheheh it was my first time, which is what my excuse is for having a truck load on one side of my image and hardly any on the other.... I also frantaged my TH butterfly boarder and then added the Pippi butterfly from Memory box on top... 

My Sentiment is from LOTV.... heres a closer look at my Frantage and I guess my colouring!

Sandra's Awesome Sketch.....

So that's it folks... hope you come along and play with us this fortnight:-)

Sketchy Time

Hi Everyone!!

Time for another awesome Sketchy Challenge for us all to play along with!!  This fortnight's sketch has been designed by Colleen...

I have pretty much stuck to the layout, but I have switched one part to the other side:-) Here is my card, I hope you all love it as much as me:-)

I've used one of the newest magnolia stamps - Tilda with Cork screws, and the small butterfly from the butterfly set.  Tilda is just so cute.... but then all Magnolia's are! All my papers are Prima - Divine 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Here is Colleen's Sketch... We look forward to seeing your designs:-)

Happy Stamping!!

Getting Sketchy

Hi there Everyone

Its time for another awesome sketch at Sketchy Challenges, and this fortnight the sketch has been designed by Jane!!

For my card this week, I have used some Distress Inks.... I actually Water coloured... OMG it has been so long since I used my DI's.... and well past attempts have been shocking, and ended up in the bin! But today it actually worked out ok... well - its too good for the bin hahahaahah  I think the last time I tried to use my DI's was about 6 months ago... so I am most pleased with out it turned out!!

So there you go, I used the Peacock Feather DI for the main of the image, and tattered Rose and Antique Linen kinda mixed together for her Skin.  I used Walnut stain for her hair, and to add a little darker spots here and there, I added a touch of black soot!  The ears and Tail are in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose.  My background is weathered wood:-) I added some Frantage to my Doo Hickey leaf die cut the colour is Shaved Ice... 

Here is Jane's sketch, we hope you will come along and play:-)

Thanks for Looking!!

Scrapbooking with a Sketchy Sketch

Hi There!!

So I'm late again with my Sketchy Creation.... I'm getting slack aren't I.... no not really - I guess I have a really bad case of missing crafty mojo.... or lack of motivation to get crafty is probably more the right answer.... I have been reading so many books of late, and that has been taking up my free time instead of crafting!!

So anyway this fortnight at Sketchy, Kylie has made a gorgeous sketch.... you can scroll down below to check it out, or jump on over to Sketchy Challenges... Anyway I decided to do a scrap booking page, I haven't done a LO in so long... so here it is... 

So this is Ruby late last summer, she loves to help Daddy in the Garden and take his dustpan and broom.... on this occasion she was sweeping the rocks but then, as they are so appealing and smooth and interesting, she dropped the broom and then played with the rocks instead.... LOL she is so easy to distract its ridiculous! 

So here is Kylie's awesome Sketch.... Kylie is also the sponsor this fortnight, and is giving away a small prize of goodies... yum yum! I have tried to stick pretty close to the layout of the sketch, but I have done a square instead of a circle... its just a bit easier to pop into the album LOL

So thanks for looking - see you again soon!!

My Sketch at Sketchy Challenges!!

Hi Everyone

This fortnight at Sketchy Challenges I have designed the sketch for you all to play along with, I hope you will enjoy it, and will come along and play.  Our fabulous Sponsor is The Crafty Witch!!! Sandra is giving away 2 stamps... so cool... 

For my card, I have used one of the With Love Tilda's.... Tilda with Love Cake! I just love how cute she is, and of course so versatile for other occasions like Birthday's - not just valentines!!  So here she is I hope you love her as much as me:-)

Cute!!!  Do you like my tag? I made it with a wooden stamp, which i stamped onto Kraft card, cut it out, and then distressed the edges with some Walnut Stain.  The Sentiment is a LOVT stamp which I stamped with some Oil Based Black Ink so that it would stand out more!!

Here is my sketch, all you need to do is follow the sketch below, you can flip it, or put it upside down if you want to, but the elements of the sketch must be clearly seen in your creations!!  TOO EASY!!

So that's it from me, for the time being, see you all soon and in the mean time, Happy Crafting!!

Getting Sketchy and Magnolia Down Under Challenges

Hi there everyone

So it has been a busy busy start to the year for me. We finally have a contract on our old house, so hopefully that will sell.... and my big brother got engaged!! WHOOOHOOOO

But in amongst that, I have managed to make a little card for today's challenge, at Sketchy.... I've used Tilda and here she is:

I also wanted to remind everyone about the Anything Goes Theme at Magnolia Down Under... I was pretty slack and didn't actually make a card when the theme went up, and again still lazy that I decided to combine this card with the 2 challenges!! LOL

So I hope that you will come along and play at either challenge... maybe use the sketch above designed by super talented Sandra, and then join anything goes, at MDUC and Sketchy Challenges at the same time!!

Thanks for Looking!!!

Sketch Challenges #35 (I'm just very very late!!)

Hi There!!

Well I was meant to have done this like over a week ago..... but I guess a few things just got in my way and to be totally honest - I really didn't feel like making anything!  You know what I mean?

Anyway over at Sketchy Challenges Kathrin has created another super AWESOME sketch for you all to play along with, it only has a few more days to go, so get your entries in quick for a super prize from Live and Love Crafts!!

For my card I have made a get well card for our builder, who has recently had a bit of bad luck in the health department. Anyway, hopefully he thinks it's a bit funny and will help put a smile on his face:-)  So here is my card I hope you all love it as much as me:-)

My image is from Mo Manning, and my rub-ons are some that I have had for ages, and of course I totally love them, but they are just about all gone :-( I really hope Doodlebug Mixed Up rub-ons are still available... because I would love to have some more!!!  oh and I do think there is a Cricut Cartridge that is very similar too, so I might have to see if I can track that one down:-)

So there you go, I hope you will all come along and play - for those who can in only a few days left, but remember that there will be another super awesome sketch for you to play with on Saturday!!!

Till next time
