Hello everybody,

I played along Retrosketches #57  today. After 4 days of no crafting, I needed a sketch to get my mojo back. Retrosketches had the perfect sketch for me. First here is my take on the sketch.


I have tried to use the collage style by using Carta Bella So Noted Stickers and pattern paper to make my card. The twine is from Twinery and sentiment is from Pretty Poppies stamp set My favourite Things. I am loving the collage style and using readymade supplies as well:)
Here is the sketch for you.



Thanks for stopping by!

Hiya friends,

I love this new sketch from RetroSketches. So I played along.
This is the sketch



And here is my take on the sketch.
I have used Damask Dolies stamp set from Wplus9. The pattern paper is called Holiday Flourishes and Swirls from Papertrey Ink. The wood veneer arrows are from Studio Calico. Love the colour combination and an awesome sketch. Here is a closeup of the card.


Thanks for visiting by!
See you soon!

Hugs!

Second post for today! Here is the first post.

I am back to the routine as you can guess! More than one post in a day lol! Hubby went back to work today. So things are a bit quieter and I had plenty of time to craft. Weather is so much cooler today in Perth. That heat wave over Christmas and New Year was terrible:( Hopefully no more of that!

Anyway, I played along Retro Sketches Challenge today. It has been a very long time I played a challenge. I love challenges and especially sketches. So here is my card.


I have used Uniko Studio's Stamps set called Pure Florals: Gerbera, Label Love: Christmas and Wonderful Washi.  Love combining stamp sets and these coordinate so well together. Love the colours too.

Uniko Studio is also having an awesome 50% off sale. Check it out!

Here is the retro sketch #44 for you.

Hope you had a great weekend or still enjoying your weekend. My weekend was great. It is Sunday evening and I am heading to bed soon. Last week of school and then kids have two weeks of term holidays.

We are going away for holidays. Yay!  looking forward to the break.

In the mean time, I also getting organised with my DT projects and scheduling my posts during my break. This time around I am not taking any craft supplies. Atleast thats what I have planned but since we are driving, there maybe some last minute changes. lol! 

Anyway, here is a card I made for Retro Sketches #30

I have used the new Wonderful Washi  stamp set from Uniko Studio on Orange Neon ink and the Gerbera flower from Pure Florals Gerbera  also from Uniko Studio with Pink Neon ink on my card.  Added some texture on the background. Such a versatile sketch. Love it. Here is the sketch for you.

Well, today is my Mad Monday! As the name suggest, it was mad this morning with dropping Aditi at school, taking Sid for his orthodontist appointment, then dropping him back to school, come home, put clothes on clothesline, take Charlie to vet for his vaccination and now I am back home and it is noon!!! Anyway, it is nothing new. Mondays are always like that.Atleast I have plenty of work done.

But now that I am free, I can blog and share my card I made for Retro Sketches #29.

Here is the sketch for you.

Here is my take on the challenge.

When I saw Laurie's first card, I so wanted the Take Three die from PTI. I then bought it and never got to use it. So when I saw this sketch from Laurie's card, I jumped up and quickly made the card using the Take Three die:)  Gorgeous sketch from Laurie's gorgeous card. Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hiya!

Gorgeous Wednesday! Had a day off today. Lot of work got done. Very happy.

Sorted out Charlie's chewing issue. I need to thank Lorena Canto for giving me an awesome tip of giving frozen carrots. This is the first time in two days, Charlie has not gone chewing stuff around the house. Apart from that we also gave him couple of big balls to play with and he runs around with the ball like a kitten lol! Of course more toys and bones. Hopefully he will be occupied with his toys and stop stressing out.

Anyway, I am sharing this card I made for RetroSketches #24.

Cardstock: Stampers Select White from PTI

Stamp Sets: happy Hydrangeas, Fillable Frames and Gracious Vases from PTI

He looks all chubby like he used to be when he was a toddler lol!  So glad to have both my men back home. Great relief. Kids are back to school today and hubby at work. It is freezing cold here. Heater is on and love my hot tea. Great day to curl up on the couch and watch TV :) Maybe I will do just that in the afternoon :)

Thanks for listening to my chatter. Have a great day!

Afternoon everybody,

I am very cranky today. It started of my with soon to be a teenager son refusing get up from his bed in the morning. And when he finally did, moves so slowly around the house and taking his own sweet time to get ready to school. Very frustrating:( You know,  I feel like attaching a propeller rather an accelerator with a remote to his backside to help him move a bit faster. Arrr!  In a year's time, I will have not one but two teens at home - one boy and one girl. Life is heading to a very interesting phase I guess :)

Anyway, I was also sick of cooking, cleaning and washing that I dropped everything today and decided I make a card to help me relax. I browsed through and found Retro Sketches #10 and Runaway Inspired Challenge #11. I decided play both. 

Here is the sketch and inspirational picture.

 

And here is what I came up with.

Supplies: 

Cardstock: White cardstock from Wplus9, Chocolate Chip from Su and Baby Pink card base and matching envelope from local store.

Stamp set: Decorative Doilies and Fotiments Birthday from Uniko Studio

INks: Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink from SU and Bubblegum from Amuse Inks, Archival Jet Black Ink

Accessories: Pink Bakers twine, Pink Rhinestones from Kaisercraft

I love the modern looking doilie stamp set from Uniko Studio. The package arrived yesterday and beautiful stamp sets. Love love them.

I modified the sketch a little and also stamped on the envelope to coordinate the card. 

OK, time for lunch and hopefully I will have a bit more time to play before I pick the kids from school. Time flies like crazy. It is scary! Life is busy at the moment. So many things to do. I am hoping for everything to settle after two weeks. Fingers crossed.

 Thanks so much for visiting and also listening to my frustrations today.

 See you soon and until then..

Ta!
