I have used some digi papers can't remember where from sorry.The sentiment is a Stamps away stamp.

Not a very clear picture sorry!

C4E- Sunday sketch challenge #16

This weeks sketch at the Crafts 4 Eternity blog is now posted. The girls have done a fab job this week and we have a new DT member, Cindy! Busy week for the Crafts 4 Eternity team!

Pop over to see this weeks sketch and the lovely cards from the DT HERE.

My card this week is a fun snail image which was hand drawn from a dingbat image I downloaded forever ago!! I seem to have gone lime green and orange mad a bit recently!

I have coloured the snail with pencils, seem to be favouring them at the mo. Other materials used are Bazzill cs and daisy bucket's lizzie paper (again!) You can get the paper HERE
Inside had a quick decoration, just some lime green cs and another snail!

Sorry about the poor colours in the images, don't know why his shell looks more red than orange!

Blog candy ends Thursday so there is still time to sign up if you haven't already you can do this HERE. And it's party time at Papercraft planet on Friday at 8pm.

I had best get on with the February challenges for the website the DT girls are already submitting their work....putting me to shame as I haven't done a 1!!!!! lol!

Have fun

2 posts in 1 day gotta be a record for me!!!!LOL!!! Ok so here is this afternoons card. I used today's Friday Sketcher sketch #36 which the talented Beatrix has done. And used 3 different shapes to fit with papertake weekly's challenge!!

You can see Friday sketchers challenge HERE and papertake weekly HERE

Gotta be a first for me to complete and post a card the same day the challenge is posted...lol!!!

Take a look at both challenges the DT cards on both blogs are stunning, there are some really talented people out there!!!

Here is the card......

The PP is daisy bucket (again!!) ella both sides! you can get this paper HERE

I got my cuttlebug and nesties out for this card and used a cute owl stamp from stamps away that has been lurking in my box! The ribbon is WRM urban window (available HERE) and the chip ribbon slide from a QVC kit. I haven't used these before! The rest of the bits and bobs I found lying around the craft room...lol!!!

Again I did the inside of the card, not too much!

When I edited this photo I realised it would make a nice ATC!!!!LOL!! I will have to add that to the list!!!

I have been given 2 awards, so sweet!! I will post them tomorrow so this isn't too long and I get to come back again tomorrow too!

2 challenges 1 card!!

Phew!! What a week! I just about managed to squeeze in a couple of challenge cards this week. I had to double them up, hope that's ok?! I will keep this short and sweet, I want to do another card this afternoon!

Sketch Saturday #34 Fab sketch to work with this week ! Probably a bit late to join this weeks sketch but you can see this sketch and a new one tomorrow HERE as always the DT have produced some stunning cards!

This card also fits the Spoonful of sugar challenge this week. They have asked for baby/new mum/pre-schooler cards this week. This is little Harvey's 2nd birthday card for sunday.

You can see the challenge and gorgeous DT cards HERE

I am hoping that it is ok to enter this card as it is not a stamped image, I drew the little alien! I surprised myself with this little guy drew him first time! I called him Eric!!! LOL

He is coloured with pencils, The orange and green are brighter IRL, I missed the sunshine this morning!!

I have gone back to decorating the insides of my cards again....

The pattern paper is Daisy Bucket ~ Lizzie (which you can get HERE) and lovely Marmalade Bazzill cardstock.

Back again later with another card!
