Sketch Saturday #74 and Crafty Catz #5

Challenge card number 2! This time just for 2 challenges:
1. Sketch Saturday - Sketch
2. Crafty Catz - Buttons or Brads

I've used a super cute 'birthday hamster' image from Mo's Digital Pencil coloured with PMs. The cardstock is Papermania and the loop edging was done with my new Martha Stewart punch (I can see this being used a lot!).

Won't be any more challenge cards for a few days as I'm on a mission to do a big batch of xmas cards.

Magical Monday, Friday Sketchers & Secret Crafter

This is the first of two challenge cards that I intend to post tonight.

2. Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #55 - Orange plus 1 other colour (I chose green)
3. TMITA Magical Monday - Use free image and 3D foam pads.

A close up to show the 3D effect.

I've use green card from Papermania and the papers are My Minds Eye, Bloom and Grow.

Laptop is back!

Got my laptop back whoohoo! Apparently I had 4 'trojans' whatever that means, some sort of virus I gather! Anyway I should now be able to get a few challenge cards done before the deadlines... watch this space!

Poorly Laptop

My laptop is very poorly (DH fault, he was messing with it last night - got to have someone to blame haven't I!) and I feel like I've lost a body part. Getting it looked at but until it returns I can't really post any challenge cards. I should be able to keep up to date on the blogs I'm following at work (I'm there now) but there is only so much slacking I can get away with, especially as I keep sneeking a look at the QVC Craft Day (managed to order a Martha Stewart punch set but don't tell DH)

Triple Challenge Card

Here's my second challenge card for today, its for three challenges:

1. Friday Sketchers #74 - Sketch
2. Tanda Teaser #119 - Just for men
3. Crafty Catz #4 - Black, White and one other.

The shirt and sentiment stamps are from Personal Impressions, the paper is from Pebbles Inc and Doodlebug. The card stock is Bazzill and Papermania.

Sketch Saturday #73

This is the first of two challenge cards today. Its my entry for Sketch Saturday #73.

I've used a very cute stamp from Rachelle Anne Miller and coloured her with PMs. The striped paper is from Foof a La and the card stock is Bazzill. The little flowers are from the edges of a ribbon which I split down the middle and stuck behine the paper.

I think its missing an embellishment of some sort, to the top right of the image to fill the white space, but it wouldn't have been following the sketch so I've left it off, for now anyway.

Hull Fair

No creations to show you today. Been at work all day then collected the girls from school, fed them and as soon as DH got home rushed out again to Hull Fair. Don't know if you've heard of it but it is quite a famous fair, I think it is the largest travelling fair in the country, and if you have children and live in the Hull area there is absolutely no way you can get away without going! So we get wrapped up warm and armed with plenty of cash (we think!) we head off to the fair. A couple of hours later we return home with two very tired children, 2 bags of brandy snap and very empty pockets!
