Our Creative Corner challenge

Hi,
Where has the sun gone??? Suddenly it feels chilly again... just as we get used to the warm air!
Today I have been a good girl, I've been to gym... so I have rewarded myself with a little crafting time... I made this card using stuff from my scrapbox... and I'm really pleased with it! My inspiration came from Our Creative Challenge's sketch, what a fun sketch this was!

Hopefully my OH will be fishing tomorrow, the children at school and I can run around like a looney in the morning to get my jobs done quickly to give myself a decent amount of crafting time! OH is driving me up the wall going around singing Blackpool songs....

Hope you have a nice evening!

2 Sketches 4 You #53

Hi,
Well, I managed to get the children's room decorated at the weekend and it looks so much better. They are pleased with the colours... I just have a bit of glossing to finish and then I am going to make some new curtains...
I haven't done much crafting... until this morning... I decided to do some sneaky card making and made this small card for a neighbour... it is based on the 2 Sketches 4 You #53 sketch... what a fun sketch it is too...
Have to go and catch up on the housework now...
Hope you have a lovely day

Friday Sketchers # 102

Hey... back again...
Decided to have a play with some of that Christmas stuff... and play along with Friday Sketchers # 102... lovely card sketch this one! I actually enjoyed myself...

OH is off friday night this week so I doubt I'll get time to play tomorrow... He's off to see Blackpool at Wembley on saturday so the kids and I are hoping to spend saturday painting their bedroom walls... should be interesting! My mum is coming round to help too... it's the first time they have helped with something like this, I don't think my mum has realised what she has let herself in for!!!! The house looks like a tip now, as we are having to pile their stuff in our room... omg! If I live through it, I might be back here Sunday...

Sketch Thursday's challenge

Hi,
I love this sketch... it came from Sketch Thursdays Challenge... I used a photo from quite along time ago... of myself and two friends just before Christmas and it gave me an excuse to scrap with some of the stuff I had left over from my Christmas card stash last year...

Today I have been sorting some of craft stuff out... which basically means I pass it from one tub to another thinking I must get around to using these!!!! Have sorted a pile of stuff for my children to use on their school christmas cards for this year... we usually have a few odd sessions in the summer holidays on rainy days, then finish the rest off nearer the time... they have so many because they still send to everyone in their class as well as other friends so it means loads of cards.

Hope you are having a great day.

Good afternoon...
Here is my take on the Mojo Monday sketch: # 139 ... this was a fun sketch... I am going to use this as a thank you card... can't find anything with Thank You on at the mo!


I love making cards in purples/lilacs! I seem to be finding all the shortfall's in my stash today... do you have days like that? I think I know what I need... look for it... none left/got nothing like it/wrong colour!!!! etc... so frustrating! I am supposed to be on a stash diet too... mmmm, wonder how long that is going to last!
Anyway... going to make a drink now... I seem to forget to drink when I'm crafting!
