Sketch challenge for KC

I decided to do a sketch challenge on a group I am on and this is the layout I came up with. So I hope some of the girls will have a go as it is something different for us.

Step card sort of

Well decided I would do a small step card and as usual I just plough in without measering anything. So as I was scoring realised I had not left enough card for the top fold, anyway looked at it for a couple of days, then thought well the shape does not look too bad, so this is what I come up with. The back was alittle unsteady so put a narrow piece of card on the back to act as a stand and it worked a treat
Hope the lady I am sending too likes it

March challenge

This months challenge on a group I am on is shades of blue, so this is what i come up with. The stamp was a prezzie of my SOTH Darlene, it is from Viva Las Vegas, fab Alice stamp. the message stamp is from sweet pea stamps and of coarse the fancy edging is done with a Martha Stewart punch. I just love this punch

My deco pages

These are the 2 pages I have done for my deco, as you will of gathered the theme is Alice in wonderland, I really like thses stamps and have enjoyed making them

Easter ATC's

These are out of my comfort zone as there are no stamping, just thought I would have a go, not too bad. Anyhow hope the girl they were for likes them

Bird ATC's

Made these for a bird swap, can you guess, used distress inks and a Tim Holtz word stamp. The bird stamp is Crafty individuals, love there stamps

family birthday cards

Not a brill picture sorry, here is 2 of the 3 family birthday cards I have done for today's birthdays. Yep I have 3 today Granddaughter Kaitlynn, GN Lucy and DIL Tracy. Afraid Kaitlynn's isn't stamped as she is Tinkerbell mad and have no stamps of her and Lucy's I forgot to scan , typical of me and the little girl one is for Tracy as I think she would love a Daughter but she has 2 fab Sons

Black and one colour swap

Well this is a swap on one of my groups, you had to use black with one other colour and that is it, of course did one then I was away as you can see by the above, the stamps are from Stone house stamps. I will get the hang of this blog thing eventually and get to put things were I want them but at least they are there

Butterfly ATC's

These are some ATC's I have done for a swap on one of my groups, I stamped the butterflies on glimmer mist backgrounds then cut them out. I like cutting images out and making the backgrounds separate

First go with grunge paper

Well have had a go with the grunge paper, must admit if I had known how it ponged might not of bought it. I wanted to make flowers with it, well not bad I suppose for a first try but the colours in the body part aren't as strong as I would of liked

Gate cards

This is the gate card open, the little girl is from Suger Nellie, I think she is lovely. the other one is with the gate closed, I got the template for the gate from crafts you love.

The foar one is made with a tamplate I made as I wanted a smaller gate, so had to adapt the larger one but did not turn out bad

Eldest Son's card

Well have made this today, as I said before with Jasons card had to adapt this as you can only buy set words like Mum Dad Happy Birthday and so on, so what I did was a search for a alphabet I could use as template. Resized to the height I wanted and printed them off, now I can do any name I like or word. I am not brill at explaining as you know but will try. Cut your letters out then take the first letter of the word you are doing and cut a piece of card to the height of the letter. Trace round the letter, then decide how much card you want left at the side of the letter, then cut your card. trim round the front half of your letter. Next trace round your next letter and trim round the front of the letter again, then put it up to your first letter, leaving so much showing in front of the first letter. Then cut off level with your first letter, carry on doing this till you have made your word, then you are ready to decorate.
Hope you can understand all that, if you want to ask me anything feel free to email me

Grandson Ross's birthday card

Why is it when you think something is going to be simple it turns out taking you ages, well decided I would make an action card for one of my Grandsons and this is what I ended up with, it is in three steps and actually should of had the figures the other way round but never mind learn by your mistakes as they say. The football is attached with acetate so it looks like it is in the air in real life, there is a goalie in the net but you can't see him on this picture any how just thought I would share

One of my new stamps

Give you one guess who this is, made this very fast last night, as had to try it out .Embossed it in disco black so it is nice and sparkly. Got the image from Stampingback, they have some great stamps and are very good on postage costs too

New stamp

Surprise surprise, I have got a new stamp, isn't she lovely. Have stamped her on a alcohol ink background, which doesn't look too bad. The stamp is from Stampattack, fell in love with her as soon as I saw her.

September challenge on KC

This is the card I have done for the challenge, the stamp is jozart from stampattack, lovely cheeky little face she has.

The challenge is called spotlight you can see why when you look at it, you spotlight just part of the stamp, some thing a bit different

Little Indian girl

I had a tag published in Rubber Stamp Madness and these plus some others were a gift from Della at I Brake for stamps. I was so chuffed to get published as never done anything like this before.

Anyhow made this today from 2 of the stamps hope you like it

a challenge card

This was a challenge layout done for OSA group, must admit it took me a while to do. Well it is my second atempt, first one was rubbish. Any how I just stuck to blue and white to make it a bit easier, hope some of you like it

Sort of recycling again

Wish I could spell, anyway made this card out of something my daughter was putting in the bin. The hand made paper and you know me hate to waste, The centre image is mounted on silver mirrow board but it never show up on a scan does it. The stamp was a gift from a dear friend. I think the company is artistic outpost, there are some nice bird stamps on the plate too
