It's a sketch at Crafty Catz

Good evening all,

 

Before I let you all know about this week's fab challenge at Crafty Catz, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has sent me thoughtful messages these last few weeks.  Although I am not getting around to blog, I am reading all your wishes and they make me realise (even more than I already knew), how fab you girls really are. 

 

Also, apologies to the Crafty Catz girls for not posting this morning.  I forgot it was Friday today! Honestly! If I had a brain, I would be dangerous!

 

Anyway, the theme at Crafty Catz is a fantastic SKETCH.  Take a look at this beauty.....

 

Here is my take on the sketch.  It was my Mum's Birthday recently and I made this card for my son to send to her. Unfortunately, we were in Dubai at the time and Mum was in hospital in UK but still, Mum loves homemade cards. She appreciates the time and effort that gets put into every one. 

 

 

I hope you will all pop over to Crafty Catz and view the gorgeous inspiration my teamies have prepared for you.  If you can join in too, that would be even better.

 

Take care and Big Hugs to all,

Jill xx

Good morning all,

I hope you are all well and having a good weekend. 

I am here to tell you about this week's fab challenge over at the 2 Sisters challenge blog.

The theme this week is: Use your favourite stamp (digi or rubber). How cool is that? 

I am sure you will all want to pop over to the 2 Sisters challenge blog and take a peek at the inspiration the DT has created for you.  It would also be fab if you could join us in this week's challenge.  Go on, what are you waiting for? lol  I am looking forward to seeing all your gorgeous stamps.

Whilst there are no sponsors this week, there will still be two winners! The prize? Each winner will be asked to be a Guest Designer for the months of November and December. Yay!

So, onto my project.  I decided to use my 'Dancing Party Tilda' image and as i am currently using an old piece of card to keep my page in my book, i thought now was the time to make myself a bookmark.  What do u think?  You place the ribbon inside the book to keep the page and the embellished part hangs outside.  Obviously, i here you all say!

The white Spellbinders heart die cut has been coloured with spun sugar distress ink so it is actually pink but it looks white in this photo. I made it a bit darker too once i uploaded this photo.  It blends in a bit better now! The butterfly was made using a Tonic punch and was given texture and sparkle using Ranger embossing tinsel (bridal). The paper is from Back to Basics III and the cardstock by Bazzill. The flowers are from Hobbycraft which i tinted using my distress inks. The image is coloured with copics. Ribbon and buttons from my stash!

 

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

Take care.

 

Big hugs,
