Mojo Monday #183

This week's sketch at Mojo Monday...and my take on it. I nearly always seem to go for the vintage look with these sketches I know but I really do love the vintage looking cards.



For the card I used green backing paper and image from Joanna Sheen's "Victorian Companion" Triple CD Set...strip of backing paper from Fred She Said. The sentiment was a digi download from Lily-Boo coloured with a Promarker. Card, ribbon, lace and stick on pearls from my stash.

Well that's it for today...thank you for looking...have a great weekend and take care!!

Two Challenges.................

I have a card for two challenges to post this evening...hope you'll like it...the challenges being One Stitch At A Time #54 "Something For The Boys" and I Love Promarkers #57 "Men's Cards".

For the card I used the image "A Cherry On Top" from Victoria Case which I of course coloured with my Promarkers...the mat for the sentiment was from Fred She Said but had to colour the edge to go with the card's colourway...the swirl I believe was a file from Penny Duncan that I cut out on my Craft Robo...everything else was in my stash.




Thank you for looking.....pop in again sometime......take care!!

Especially For You........

My card entry for this month's Sir Stampalot Challenge "Spring Is In The Air". I'm afraid it's not that good a photo but the light is so bad...the weather here today is so dull and rainy again...I took one photo with flash but preferred the one I'm going to post now...and that is all I'm going to say about it because with the terrible news from Japan we've had today it certainly puts my little problems into perspective!!

Well here it is...hope you like it..........




The backing paper was a download from The Clipart Fairy...the image is from Anne Bodil and coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment mat was from Fred She Said which was drastically resized by me...everything else used was from my stash.

Thank you for popping by...hope you enjoyed your visit...until next time...take care!!

I'm Back And Ready to Craft.................

Hi and a good afternoon to everyone on another very grey, cold and rainy day in my part of Spain...its such a difference from the weather we had on our "mini hol" last week...it was glorious weather...but all good things come to an end they say!

This week I've been catching up on jobs...especially in the garden...I was going to have another stint in the garden today whilst hubby is at golf but as the saying goes " the best laid plans etc......LOL.....never mind hopefully the weather will pick up again over the weekend !!

Well as I implied earlier with the title I'm back blogging and ready to catch up on my cardmaking etc....I've missed my challenges for the last couple of weeks but I mean to make a start on more cards this evening....watch this space...lol. Have been on a bit of a blog hop over the past few days and really have to admit am still in awe of some of the terrific talent that's out there...brilliant...how I wish...LOL !!

Anyways this snippet of news if I can call it that was intended as just a quick post for those who read my blog...if anyone actually does...to let you know I'm still around and not AWOL...will be back soon with something to show you.

Take care!!
