Friday Sketchers #61

This weeks sketch had been provided by Jacqueline from the Netherlands and is sponsored by a lovely webshop called Ribbon Mad, it sells ribbons and all kinds of embellishments. The prize is a 10 metre ribbon kit in Summer colours plus a journaling tag. The kit comes in a pretty organza gift bag.

I just had to use Maribel again ... i think i'm in love with her lol!

Maribel ....

I just had to make another card using Maribel ... she's just gorgeous! I've not followed any sketch or challenge for this card, which is flippin' unusual for me, but there are times when you just have to go it alone pmsl!

I'm thinking of making everyone a card using Maribel lol!

I've decorated the inside with left over papers and more flowers from stash.

I bet you can't guess where i like to shop at the minute can ya lol? If you haven't been to TabbyCrafts then you're missing out on some fabulous deals. TabbyCrafts has excellent postage prices and posts all orders out the same day if made before 12 noon. There is an abundance of new products available each month at very competitive prices ... so what you waiting for? Grab your purse/hubby's wallet and get yourself a bargain!

Colour Create #23

Hi peeps, this is another one of my cards that i managed to make yesterday, but decided not to load up until today ... gonna try eeking them out over the week instead of mass posting at the weekend and silence through the week lol!

This weeks colours are Blue and White, with the optional extra of VINTAGE.

I was really pleased that we were back to using 2 colours for the Colour Create challenge ... 4 is a bit extreme in my opinion .... not that, that counts for anything these days pmsl! Anyhow, I did thoroughly enjoy making this card and am dead pleased with the results.

As you can see from the sentiment this is another card i made for my estranged ... emphasis on the strange .... sister. Another card that she wont get, cos its just too flippin' good for her. I've taken the sentiment off now and changed it to Sister-in-law for my parents to give to my Auntie and instead used the card that i made my Mum for Mother's Day for my sister lol! My parents don't keep the cards i make for them .... i know ... how rude?! I can't bear for them to be thrown away after all my hard work, so i have them back and recycle them lol .... yes i'm tight! I can live with her having one that was made for someone else, but just couldn't get my head round making one especially for her ... odd i know.
