Totally Gorjuss 42 Sketch.

Hello everyone and thanks for dropping in. Thanks also to everyone who entered the challenge at Totally Gorjuss last week. It was lovely to see your baby cards. This week we have a sketch from our own Net. I enjoyed using the sketch, thanks Net, and I think you will too.

This is what I made and I hope you'll excuse the dodgy photo. Working full time doesn't leave much time to get a photo in daylight, in fact it doesn't leave any time. Add to that the fact that I'm still having internet problems. When I phoned the helpline on Wednesday night they recommended switching off the broadband for 10-15 minutes. They said the problem was widespread so no wonder I waited 35 minutes to speak to someone.

Not sure I actually like this card but that's not unusual, sometimes they grow on me lol!

I used:-

Image :- LOTV die cut.

DP :- MME.

Colouring :- Distress inks on all edges.

Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Jewels and Prima flower from stash.

I think I can enter this card in some challenges :-

Charisma Cardz :- Teddy Bears.

ABC challenge :- A is for August.

Hope you can find time to join us this week. I like having a sketch to use, it gives you a good starting point for your card. If you have time try to visit my talented teamies to see their gorgeous cards this week. If you have a minute I'd love to hear what you think of my card.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend.

Just Cute Bears 23.

Hello everyone is it Sunday already? Why does the weekend seem to go so quickly? Time for another challenge at Just Cute Bears. This week we have an open theme so you can make any kind of card for any occasion just as long as the main image is a bear.

Do you ever find that the card you make is not the one you thought you would make? Or is it just me? I was sure I had some paper with strawberries on it as there are one or two strawberries and cream challenges around. Well I was right and as you can see I found it. Somehow I had visualised a redder card if you see what I mean but this is what I ended up with lol!

I used :-

Image :- Hobby Art bear from a clear set - birthday set.

DP :- MME.

Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Card candy and sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

Flowers, charm and shimmer dots from stash.

Base card cream pearlescent from local paper mill.

Distress Inks round all edges - scattered straw and worn lipstick.

I'm hoping to enter some challenges with this card :-

Truly Scrumptious :- Sketch and strawberries and cream.

Cupcake :- Strawberries and cream.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge Strawberries and cream.

I think that's all now. I hope you can find time to check out what my talented teamies have made this week and hope they inspire you to look out your teddy stamps and make any card you like. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make this week.

I might be back later with some exciting news!
