Creative Inspirations-for a child+Quixotic Challenge-word/sentiment+Sketch Saturday 104+Stamp Something-2 of Something+The Townscrapper-Flowers/lace

Good morning everyone and Happy Monday...I found out last night I won the Simon says stamp candy over at Bevs blog, how fantastic is that, you don't win anything and then they come along like buses and you win 2 in as many days lol, wwwwooohhhhoooo, I don't think it could get any better could it...well onto my card for today which is for loads of challenges, I used the fab sketch from Sketch Saturday, Quixotic challenge to use a sentiment or word as your main focal point, Creative Inspirations to make a card for a child, Stamp Something to use two of something and The Townscrapper to use lace and flowers...wow I think that's the most I have entered in one go, I used these two fabulous little boys coloured with Distress inks and a Basicgrey Max and Whiskers paper called Gretchen, the letters are Pink Paislee Expressions - Cotton Chipboard Alphabet, don't they go great with the images and papers, I finished with some lace, gingham ribbon and a selection of buttons from my stash...I hope you like it and enjoy the rest of your day everyone

My First ever Meljen image + The Townscrapper Challenge Sketch + Allsorts Challenge Blog Birthday challenge week 52

Good morning everyone now after much putting it of and finding many other things to do far more important I decided to clear out my craft room (long needed) and you would not believe the stash I have found, I even found images I had printed and hid for safe keeping (a little to well hid lol), this fabulous little Meljen Designs lion was amongst them, now anyone who knows me will know I don't do animals they never look right when I colour them but I had to colour him didn't I he looked so dejected poor thing. now I will have to go to Meljens and buy some more images because I love him... so I used him with this fabulous sketch from the Townscrapper challenge (I hadnt heard of this challenge before Nikki and her fabulous Daughter Zoe were on it) and as its a celebration I decided to enter it for the Allsorts Birthday challenge too...the amazing papers (how well do they go with this little lion) are by Basicgrey and from the new Max & Whiskers collection, this one is doublesided and called Clarence I bought it at Crafters and Co...I added the its your day sentiment and a selection of buttons and ribbon to match the sketch...I hope you like it and enjoy the rest of your day I'm off to do prep because I'm teaching another class on Thursday...yyyiiipppeeeee
