my Sketch challenge

This weeks sketch challenge for the girls on crafters companion has a little twist NO SKETCH for this week.
Instead I have given them a link to Freds site where she has these lovely flowers as a free download.
I have asked the girls on the site to use as many of these flowers as they like on their card this week, Fred has also made a matching backing paper which can also be used. You can see what they come up with diring the week at crafters companion
You can find the download of these free papers HERE. while you are there take the time to look at Freds blog she has some lovely tips on how to colour flowers, also nip over to the shop she has some stunning flowers for download in her shop The papers for my sample card are from k & co, I coloured the image with Marvey le plume pens, of course the lovely flower are from Fred

as you can see in the close up of the flowers I have added a dot of glitter glue into each centre, for the inside of the card I have carried the papers through and added a punched scallop for writing on

Baby Card

I made this card to give to the other set of Grandparents, I loved this image because it has both pinks and blue tones in both the topper and backing papers, so it will do for a boy or girl when he or she decides to arrive The image and papers are from Joanna Sheen's baby love CD, I printed the wording on the PC to make the sentiment, them added a few flowers in pinks blues and lemon, for the inside i just added wording to a funky fairy's mat on the PC, still leaving room to add a few handwritten thought

21st bottle

Made this Celebration bottle for my Son Kyle`s 21st birthday today Both the image and papers came from Fee J designs Saucy ladies CD, printed the bottle images onto thin card, then stuck this onto the thick green card, before cutting out the bottle shape, then I just needed to decoupage the lady and add a few tags and peel offs

as the image was printed on the inside of the bottle , I just added a tag so that we could write our own message.

Kyle is also waiting for his first child to be born, the baby is due on Friday, watch this space there will be photos.

Happy Birthday Kyle

Wedding scrap page

Here is a digital scrap page that I have made using Serif Digital scrapbooking Artist, To frame for my nephew and his new wife. The red one was my first layout but on printing it looked a bit dark, so I changed the background to the cream and red paper

Sketch challenge #19

Here is this weeks Sketch, An extra bit of a challenge for me because when I came to make the sample card this morning I did not like my Sketch very much( I did it a few weeks ago) I was going to leave it and move onto my next sketch but then decided to go for it, as more of a challenge to myself Well here is my sample card and I must admit to liking the end result, the papers are from Anna Griffin, the image came from some free docraft sticker that were in last months magazine

as you can see I have taken the papers into the centre of the card, just added a few extra stickers
