MAWTT - Sketch

Hello... I hope you are all well today... it's Thursday and the turn of Team B over at 


and our lovely boss Hazel is hosting this challenge and she has given us a wonderful...

'Sketch'

You can rotate the sketch.. but we must be able to see that you've followed the layout.
Closing Date is the 8pm BST 13th August on this Challenge... so you have plenty of time to enter!

I loved this sketch and so designed two cards using E-Vint images and Raspberry Road Papers and Elements... once I'd planned them out, then it was just a case of printing everything out and layering up onto Kraft Card Blanks.. so quick and easy but I love how they came out :-)

I want to say a Big Thank You to Cheryl... I was lucky enough to win one of her gorgeous creations.... this beautiful book....


Thanks hun! I really love it... the textures and details are awesome! :-))

I hope you are all enjoying the Summer!!
Personally I am glad it's gone a bit cooler as I've not felt good in the heat, but I know most of you love it hot!! I've been a grumpy so and so in it... and seriously thinking about moving to somewhere colder... maybe Lapland !!! wonder if Santa could put me up for a couple of months? I would pay my way.... could work as an Elf in his workshop! ;-))
Looking forward to next week as The Great British Bake Off and Who Do You Think You Are are both back! Yay!!  :-))
Thanks for all your lovely comments... I will catch up with you soon!
Take Care
Love and hugs

Happy Birthday!

Hello.... hope you are all having a nice weekend!  I  thought I'd pop by with this card that I made a couple of months ago for Hazel's Birthday and somehow never got around to showing you....

 I loved making this card...everything just seemed to fall into place...
I used a Saturated Canary image but decided to crop it as I wanted to fit quite a few dies onto the card.  


Image: Saturated Canary - 'Canary Love'
Papers: Wild Rose Studio - 'Always and Forever'
Die: Memory Box - 'Large Parker Number Set'
Die: Memory Box - 'Precious Hearts'
Die: Memory Box - 'Party Lanterns'
Gems from Stash

I coloured the image with Copics and Promarkers... added some liquid pearls and tiny gems for her earrings... 

I'm having a 'holiday at home' for few weeks, to see if I can recharge my batteries... still feeling very tired... but some days are better than others. Just bought some herbal teas..... Restoring Echinacea & Raspberry and Warming Camomile & Spiced Apple... mmmm... they not only taste delish but smell gorgeous!

Have you seen the new Downton Abbey Teaser Trailer for this Autumn? ...  it doesn't give much away... a leaf falling, some cutlery being strategically placed, a servants bell ringing…. and Carson saying that things are changing!! ah well, better than giving everything away I suppose!! can't wait for new series!

Thanks for all your lovely comments and a big welcome to my new followers!
I will catch up with you all in next few days.
Take Care
Love and hugs
