Papertake Weekly Challenge & Cute Card Thursday

Oh its been a long week this week and i've not even had Rylee today, cos its Fae's birthday so she's had the day off. But, Monday to Thursday has lasted a fortnight! I've not crafted for a week either cos of my family lunch on Sunday, which went off really well and then i just didn't have the heart to mess the dining table up again!

There's a fab sketch at Papertake Weekly designed by the brilliant Dawny P.

CS ~ stash. DP's ~ left overs. Stitching ~ sewing machine. Images ~ Riley Moose coloured with Whisper Markers. Sentiment ~ PC Generated. Photo thingy's ~ stash.

Challenge 53 at Cute Card Thursday is "Family Affair" so this fits in quite nicely with that.

Friday Sketchers ~ Sketch #16

Its Carole's turn this week at Friday Sketches to come up with a sketch. There's another fab prize for one lucky winner. Here's the sketch....

and this is what i did with it...

It's my DH birthday on Tuesday and my Mum asked me to make a card for him from her and my Dad.... so once again I find myself making 3 cards for the same person (although I've only done 2 up to now.... not managed to make one from me yet!) This year I've refused to make a card for the girls, so thats 2 less!

CS ~ Papermill, DP ~ free download from here, image ~ PIF from Kathy, Jellychicks Adventures, coloured with watercolour pencils and H2O's, sentiment ~ PC generated, gems ~ stash, buttons ~ Poppicrafts.

Friday Sketchers ~ Sketch #13

Kimmie from Canada has made a wonderful sketch for inspiration this week....

This is what I did with it....

I've had this image coloured for a while and just not know what paper to use with it or what to do with it. CS ~ Crafts Central, DP ~ DS George, buttons ~ Poppicrafts, sentiment ~ Dovecraft, image ~ PIF and coloured with my old faithful watercolour pencils, Fluffy Stuff on smoke.

Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 21

The challenge this week is to make a card with the theme of 'In The House', anything which can be found in the home is fine.
Thought it was about time I used some of my scraps of paper up again, so thats what I used for this card. The DP is ~Shabby Princess, CS ~ Crafts Central and papermill, image ~ PIF, coloured with watercolour pencils, bling ~ stash, sketch ~ Mojo Monday, fluffy stuff on cake. I'm really pleased with how this has turned out. I just love these image of Riley Moose that I got from JellyChicks Adventures, there seems to be one to suit every occasion.

Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 19 & Friday Sketchers #11

The challenge this week is to make a card using animal images only - NO PEOPLE OR CHARACTERS AT ALL!! So here is mine using the sketch below from Friday Sketchers, sketch #11.
CS ~ stash, PP ~ freebie download from here, image ~ Jelly Chicks PIF coloured with watercolour pencils, ribbon ~ stash. I also used glossy accents on the sea, but it doesn't show up too well on the photo.

Stamp Something ~ In The Wild!

The challenge for this week is "In the Wild Somethings," show us your wild side! Make a project using natural materials, images of nature, or anything that you can think of that has to do with wildlife.

A few weeks ago I recieved a fab PIF from Kathy at JellyChicks Adventures. It was loads of Riley Moose images, which are just great...

As you can see there is every pose and occasion covered that I could possibly want or need! So what could be better to use for this challenge?....

CS ~ Papermill Shop, PP ~ Pink Petticoat, giveaway, ribbon, gems and safety pin ~ stash, image ~ Kathy's PIF, sentiment done on PC and cut out with my Nesties. One of Katharina's sketches was used to make this card!
