A spoon full of sugar

This week on ASFOS is a wonderful sketch by the gorgeously talented Nikki , just perfect for easing us all into the new year....thanks hun!

I love this sketch cos as Bev kindly pointed out on her blog, we all have single sheets of pp that don't really match with anything else, so it's a great way to use these up.

I have taken more than a little inspiration for my card from the one Camilla made, which you can view here .....isn't it gorgeous.

Here are the details

• Image: Willow with cookies from WOJ
• Paper: No name sorry...and Coredinations CS
• Medium: Promarkers
• Sentiment: AmyR Love sentiments from ATS
• Flowers, ribbon and brads from stash

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you might leave, have a super day

Cute Card Thursday

Hi everyone,

Here is my card for this weeks Cute Card Thursday where the theme is 'snow and snowflakes'. It seems like forever since I joined in with the CCT challenge and since I'm in a real Christmas card mood, it was nice and easy!!

I've used one of Jo's old sketches from Sketch Saturday so if you're ever stuck for inspiration, head over there and look through all the previous ones, I think there are 26 to choose from, so you should easily find one to get creative with!

There is something missing from my card, I really wanted to add some snowflakes but I dont have any.......so a trip to the shops tomorrow me thinks!!

Here are the detail

• Image: Charlie from WOJ
• Paper: Imaginisce and Coredinations CS
• Medium: Promarkers

• Ribbon from stash

That's all folks, hope you have a super day, thanks for stopping by

Miss You

Morning everyone,

Here is another card I made about a week ago, for the design team at 2sketches4you and as I wasn't successful I thought I would share it with you anyway.....you can't blame a girl for trying!!!

They have chosen their new team, which is fabulous, so if you're ever stuck for ideas, hop over to the blog for some inspiration

Not much to the card really, here are the details

• Image: Melinda helping angel
• Paper: Sorry, don't know
• Medium: Promarkers
• Ribbon, flowers and brads from stash

That's it for now, must dash to the post office before I go and get Caitlin from nursery, have a super day, thanks for stopping by

3 challenges in 1

Morning everyone,

Here is a card I've been working on for a few days now and just can't seem to get it so that I'm completely happy. I followed the sketch from a spoonfull of sugar which was kindly provided by the incredibly talented Lim. I decided to use a WOJ stamp so that I could combine it with the WOJ challenge and then because of the autumn colours I could also enter it for Cute Card Thursday .

I love the layout of the card and the papers and the ribbon and everything but just struggled with the image part....I originally had Melinda helping Angel on a white background but when I stuck that on it was like WHOOO!...too white, so I tried to distress it a bit....NO! that had to go straight in the bin. So back to the drawing board again, using a different stamp and a coloured cardstock.....like I say, not completely happy, but it's so much better than the first attempt lol!!

Here are the details anyway

• Image: Willow with cookies from WOJ
• Medium: Promarkers
• Paper: hmmm, don't know
• Ribbon and brads from stash

Thanks for looking, have a super Sunday

Morning everyone,

Last night I decided to make my card for Katharina's Whiff of Joy Guest DT call, browsed through all her fabulous sketches and chose Sketch #25 and this is what I came up with.

I'm not overly happy with it so have decided not to enter it (yet!), hopefully I will have time to make another before the deadline......but I thought I would share it with you anyway, primarily because the image is sooooo gorgeous!

Here are the details

• Image: Willow with cookies (from Whiff of Joy )
• Medium: Promarkers
• Paper: S.E.I
• Flowers and brads from stash

My friend Heather has just reminded me that the theme this week on CCT is food, so I will enter it for that.

Sorry about the jumbled post but I am suffering with TOOTHACHE! and I am going to the emergency dentist this afternoon........I'm really frightened......wish me luck!!!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend, thanks for stopping by, don't forget tomorrow to pop over to Sketch Saturday for another fantastic challenge

As most of you already know the lovely and extremely talented Katharina has begun an adventure to follow her dreams and open her own online shop with a fantastic new stamp range. She already has her team together of fabulous illustrators and a cracking design team, but she would like to add a guest designer.

I have made this card following the sketch which Katharina has kindly provided and really enjoyed it, here are the details
