Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge - theme follow the Sketch

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? This is a heavy week of invigilating for me. Also tomorrow I will be helping at a Felting Workshop. It is rather difficult to craft and I have a big project on at the moment that is taking a lot of time.

Today the new challenge starts at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) challenge blog and the theme is follow the Sketch.

I used black card to follow the lines of the sketch. The Double Stitched Flag dies were used to create the shapes under the image. All the patterned papers I used were in my stash. 

Here is the sketch to follow. 

This is a Pollyanna Pickering image that came from a pad of images. I do love the colours in this image. 

I will be adding a sentiment later when I decide who to send the card to. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Happy Crafting

Always Fun Challenges - Challenge 63 Sketch

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend. We were busy as usual. Invigilating is all finished now. So I have some time to catch up on things.

Today sees the start of Challenge 63 at Always Fun Challenges this time the theme is to follow  the sketch.

I have had a pad of the beautiful Christmas paper for a while.

The challenges are always fun why not join  us?

This is the sketch to follow. 

This is the Penguin Elf Digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps and it is available HERE. I made him a background in Publisher. Then I printed onto Neenha card stock and coloured with my Promarkers. 

This seems to be my go to Christmas sentiment at the moment it fits into very small spaces. 

I cut snowflakes in glitter card to replace the hearts in the sketch. 

Shall I let you in to a little secret? I am well behind with my Christmas card makes. So I have decided that where I can for my Design Team makes I am going to make Christmas cards. 

Happy Crafting

Crafty Catz Challenge blog- Anything Goes with the optional twist of using the Sketch

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I have been rather busy which I must admit I rather like. I have been invigilating, I helped at a Felting workshop and I have been out to lunch. This evening our daughter and son-in-law are coming to supper it will be lovely to see them and share a meal. All of this has made it rather hard for me to keep up with my crafting and blogging. Our weekend will be full of gardening.  Our garden has been somewhat neglected for several years so it is taking a while to get it back into order.

Being Friday the new challenge starts today on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes but we have the optional twist of using the Sketch provided by Niki one of our very talented designers. The sponsor is Digi Doodle Studios. The design team had wonderful images to work with.

All the papers lace and ribbon I used came from my stash lots of it left over from the wedding last year. 

Our sponsor this month is Digi Doodle Studios if you click on the logo you will be taken to the store. 

Here is the sketch. I rather enjoyed using it. 

This image is called Jade and Skye Digi Doodles Sheep Dog Digi Stamp and is available HERE. I printed the image onto Neenah Card Stock and I coloured with Promarkers. Then I used the ScanNcut to cut out the image. 

I had been using the Cape Daisy dies from Creative Expressions and the Star Flower leaves from John Next Door to make flowers for other cards. They seemed to go well with this design. 

This is my go to Happy Birthday die from Crafter's Companion. 

Have a great weekend. Of course there is the Royal Wedding and the FA cup final all to enjoy.

My card in Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine Issue 163

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope that you have had a great weekend. We have been down to Bristol and we stayed in the hotel that we will be using for the wedding. Luckily nearby there is a nice restaurant to use for a meal on the night before the wedding. Our daughter, her fiance and his parents saw the hotel and the restaurant and liked both. We also had a meeting about chairs and sashes - you knew there were so many ways they could be tied. So a lot was achieved and we know where lots of things are now.

While we were away I bought a copy of Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine (issue 163) and I was thrilled to see my card in print.

I made this card for the sketch challenge in the current issue. 

I won a cute pack of LOTV images from the Pixie's Snippets Playground a couple of months back and I used one of the images to make this card. I used colours from the image in my design.  

Here is a picture of my card on the page with the lovely comment from the editor. 

While we were in Bristol we had a walk along the Clifton Suspension Bridge. This photo was taken from the Visitors' Centre.

I hope you have a great week. 

I would like to enter Pixie's Snippets Playground Week 267 and 268 and challenge 148 at the Crafting from the Heart Challenge blog. 

Happy Crafting
