Call Me!!

Hi, What another beautiful day it was here in Scotland again! This weather is just amazing..hope it lasts! Well as you might notice if you have been here before i have had a little blog makeover! Not sure about this background yet so it might change again but loving the 3 columns to work with. Saves scrolling down forever to find things!

I have a card to share that i made the other night. Over at the Sugar Bowl the challenge this time is a sketch along with the theme of Buttons so had to enter.

I have used a Simply Sassy stamp called "Call Me" and coloured her with my promarkers.

The papers are from a Papermania Capsule pad that i bought not long ago. Its got lovely basic papers in it such as spots, stripes and checked. The fancy frame is from my Cricut Pot pourri cartridge.

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are again from the pot pourri and inked with yellow ink the tie in with the yellow in the image.

The sentiment reads "miss taking to you" and is from the wild card cartridge. The ribbon, glittery gems, buttons and hat pin are all from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch and buttons.

Stamp Something - With Flowers,Buttons and sparkle.

Stamptacular challenge - Pile It On - More than 5 layers.

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Buttons.

Thanks for looking and you kind comments! Enjoy your night!

Something other than pink!

Hi, Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I am looking forward to getting back to normal this week. My daughter had her operation on Thursday. She had a Liver biopsy, grommet insertion and adenoids taken out. She was the bravest girl ever. The only thing she complained about was her sore shoulder because she had to lie on her side for nearly 6 hours and because she was leaning on her shoulder it was hurting her. It was meant to be 4 hours but the nurses werent sure so kept her on her side until they checked! Yes.. took them 2 hours to check it out!! Dont get me wrong the staff were extremely good, went beyond the job description to make all the kids on that ward feel at ease and comfortable. 

Here is my card that i rattled up tonight while watching Dancing On Ice! The sketch is from the Sugar Bowl Challenge. Great sketch to work with. My cutie is coloured in with Pro markers. I am usually a pastel colour girl but really liked these bold colours together. Over at the CES challenge the challenge is no Designer Papers, it was hard not to reach into the paper stack but i managed! I distressed the edges of all the white and teal paper with walnut ink.

The swirls and leaves are die cuts from my Cricut and the flowers as usual were home made and touched up with stickles. The gems and ribbon are out my stash.

I am entering the card into the following challenges;

Feeling Blue?

Hiya, I am definitely feeling blue tonight...we have got more snow falling!! I am so fed up with it, hope it doesnt come to much and has gone by the morning. We still have a bit of snow still lying thats not melted from the last time.

Tonight i am entering this card into a lot of challenges so i will just list and link them all at the end.

The sketch i followed is from the Unscripted Sketches Challenge Blog. The challenge was "2010 Review" in which you are to choose a past sketch from the list. I picked this one......

My Tilda is coloured in used Promarkers, i love the sitting Tildas, they just look so cute sitting there with legs dangling! I have added glossy Accents and glitter to parts of her dress and bow. My roses were out my stash and i added the twine and leaves to them and added glitter. The paper I used in the background is a glittery one from the "Slice" paper pack. I really like the papers i got in that pack. I usually find i only like a some of the papers out a pack and then the rest get left to gather dust but i will use all the papers in this one!

My metal brad is one i have had for a long long time..i bought it on my very first craft supplies shopping spree but forgot all about it until i cleaned my drawer out! I did put a new brad in the centre of it as it had a white one in it and it didnt go with my cream card! My butterfly is punched from Vellum and rubbed to shape it slightly. My sentiment is cut from my Wild Card Cricut Cartridge and again coated with Glossy Accents and Glitter.

Here is the challenges i am entering into tonight...
