Sketch N Stash 105

 

Hi,

The card I have to share today was inspired by the challenge at Sketch N Stash 105.  I know it's not really vintage, but I like the sketch and I like to make my cards to fit the people I am sending to... which is what I have done.  I am pleased to say that I used old stash (The paper in the background and the flowers, these came with a kit I bought from QVC years ago and were actually forgotten in a box at the back of my cupboard).  I also used new stash... my mum got me some Kanban images for cards for christmas and that is where the card and sentiment came from too).  The sketch was fun to work with and I am sending it to a friend of mine who loves cupcakes...



 

 

I have also made another scrapbook LO.  This was inspired by a link I found but lost it... don't you just hate it when you do that????!!!!!  If I do find it again I will add it in... They had a wonderful sketch that inspired me to use some squares I had made using a Martha Stewart Punch set I have ages ago and didn't use...  The photo was taken on a day out at Cannock Chase... I love to take the children there because I spent so much time there as a child myself...  There is just so much to see and do there we all love it...

 





 

 

Here is my finished scarf ... very difficult to photograph a scarf... I am very pleased with it it is very warm.  I don't really have the patience for knitting... I tend to get bored half way through... luckily this didn't take too long... and I am glad to use up the wool.  I have had it for quite a while... now I need to find something to knit or crochet to use the rest of what is in the baskets!!!!!

Still have cards to make... hope you are finding time to craft and keep warm.
Hugs

Mojo Monday 277

Hi,

Today the sun is shining... isn't is it amazing how when the sun is shining you feel so much better about everything?  Well I do anyway... easily pleased, eh?  I hope you weren't too affected by the snow... we haven't had much here really... being by the coast and all that, much to my childrens dismay, we seem to not get alot of snow. 

I have been playing... I suddenly seem to need quite a few cards all at once... this one was inspired by Mojo Monday's Sketch 277.  Really was fun to play along.  I am very pleased with this card and I think it really suits the person I am sending it to.

 

 

I have a scrapbook LO to finish that I started yesterday, so this is short and sweet.  I also been knitting a scarf, just need to finish off the ends so I will be back tomorrow with pictures.  I'm not the best or the faster knitter in the world, but I have actually enjoyed myself.

Keep warm and smile at the sun... might encourage it to shine more (my Nan always used to say that when I was little!!!).

Hugs

Happy New Year...

Happy New Year...  Hope you had happy holidays...  I love that Christmas and New Year is all about family for us...  and we had a great time.  Now, of course, we are all back to normal... OH has gone fishing (yes, I know it's raining... it always rains when Steve goes fishing!)... Kids are back at school and I am back crafting... My offerings today are a card that was inspired by a sketch from Mojo Monday #275 and a pile of scraps... I wanted to put a happy anniversary greeting on it but could not find one!!!

My next offering today is a scrapbook page... I know I am the most shocked, believe me... I just had an urge to scrapbook... My inspiration for this one also came from a sketch on Scrapville; December/January sketch, which was really fun to play with...  I wanted to keep it quite simple keeping the focus on my adorable baby!

 

 

Well, thats it for today on here, if I manage any more I will be back on tomorrow to show you how well I played...  Take care

Hugs

Kim
