Love So Big @ Feeling Sketchy

Happy New Year to all my friendly scrappers in this big wide world out there....

so to celebrate the birth of 2016 I decided to make a card from the Feeling Sketchy challenge blog this morning.

A great design by Michelle.

Here is my card...

I used a square KC card, & Paperlicious Wood Collection 6x6 paper pad.

And a little closeup...

Thank you for a lovely challenge.

Hugs xx

Merry Christmas @ Feeling Sketchy

Playing across at my old favourite challenge blog Feeling Sketchy with this great sketch.

 

I really love this one & I believe I will make more cards with this design. 

And here is my card.....

I have used a Crate Paper 6 x 6 paper pad from 2010, but these papers I like & its good to start on the Christmas cards.

Plus some BG paper embellies & a Christmas Pointsettia

Great challenge - thank you.

Hugs xx

Love @ Feeling Sketchy

I have had a quiet morning at home as my FIL died earlier & my hubby is at the hospital..sad times for sure.

So I had to work on a card & thought that my sketch at Feeling Sketchy was just the one to do...

I really love designing sketches & when I am well I will start to design more..

So here is my card...a sort of Valentine's card....

These are beautiful flowers I purchased from Wild Orchid Crafts in the UK...fantastic aren't they & the freight to Australia was very reasonable.

Hugs to you xx

A Card & a LO for Feeling Sketchy...

Well it is suddenly December & with that comes 

FREE SCRAP ie no sketches at  

Feeling Sketchy...

that means it is FREE CHOICE! 

So as Sketch Designer, it was so very easy for me!! Smile...

Card Sketch 109 - due on the blog by December 15

And my card...I use the fabulous Kaisercraft Basecoat Christmas for this one as well as little Kaisercraft flowers...I adore that range of paper...best Christmas paper EVER!!

My card it pictured with my ceramic Santa that I made in 1979 at a studio near Tomago near Newcastle...that dear Santa is bought out every year & in his Santa bag he keeps lollies!!

 And next our LO Sketch 110 - due on the blog by December 31

Here is one I prepared earlier...

I have used lots of an older Kaisercraft range that was just waiting to get used! I felt it was antiquey to match the photo.

Here is young me in 1967...so I was 12, at the inaugural Party for a Princess in the Jacaranda Festival...& I was chosen the winner...oh my I was so, so happy!!

My mummy organised a borrowed outfit from the local theatre company & added bits & bobs & I went along as a n old fashioned (with a bustle) lady....oh those mum's!

This photo was the one published in the local paper 'The Daily Examiner'.

Interesting facts...

1. I had my long hair cut 2 weeks before, so mum organised the borrowing of a 'switch' from her friend the hairdresser that lived up the road. The hair was real hair - it was the hairdressers daughters plait that she has just cut off. Mum used heaps of bobby pins to attach that hairpiece! The celebrity thought it was my hair & kept admiring it! Smile...

2. The announcer was from the local TV station NRN11, in Coffs Harbour..& that is where I now work..although it has changed names a number of times.

3. I just cant thank my mum enough...& I really don't think I did when she was alive for all her love & support she gave me...I have been very lucky.

I hope you can join in with our challenges, there will even be another 

Card Sketch on 15 December!

Hugs, xx
