Well the weekend is nearly here. It doesn't make much difference at the moment does it? My hubby and I do try to have a plan for most days. We have found that the days go better when we have a plan. Our neighbour over the road has ten chickens and we have been enjoying the eggs which is brilliant. Our next door neighbour's daughter is a doctor and she has tested positive for the virus. It must be such a worrying time for them. We must all do our bit and stay home as much as we can.
There is a competition on the Crafting with John Next Door and Crafts-Too Facebook group to make a birthday card for Sam. His birthday is at the beginning of May. Now I had made him a card. In fact it is the only thing I have made this week. I have entered the challenge so I thought I would share the card on my blog too.
I started by making the background with the Tartan Stripe Stencil from the John Next Door range. I extended the range of the stencil easily.
This Happy Birthday die is one from Creative Expressions.
I used the large Champagne Bottle dies set from the John Next Door range to make the bottle and the stars. It was a bit tricky getting the angle of the bottle right with the corner of the card.
I have said before that I am Doodling along with Barbara Gray at 10:00 am very weekday. This one took four days to complete. I am very pleased with it.
I keep wanting to sketch things. I never thought I would be able to do draw like this.
I hope Sam likes this card. I will be posting it soon as the post seems to be taking a long time in some cases.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Stay safe and well.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

Great card for Sam I don’t do FB very often because I’m not very good at navigating around it I think I’ve asked to be in John’s group but haven’t checked back to see if I can view stuff!
Your sketching is lovely I have promised myself to start (from scratch!) that I will Watch Barbara’s videos I can’t watch them “live” because I am still working
I hope your neighbour’s daughter is OK Such a worrying time for them
Take care x
Ooh Loved the hippos too
What a lovely card for Sam and awesome doodling!
Hi Jackie, me again. Have found the Barbara Gray videos and now playing catch up . Have followed the first 7 and completed the doodling for each session. About to watch session 8 with the bird feeder. Thanks for mentioning this on your blog would never have found out about it otherwise. Have just joined her Facebook page too. Hugs Mrs A. .
