Monday's offerings

The girls are at my parents for a few days, and whilst I have lots planned ... cinema, Blackpool, Take That, and a couple of days away, I still want to get some crafting for me done.  Crafting has been less fun recently, so I have decided to reduce my DT commitments and am now only on a couple of Design teams.  I am intending to just get inky for the fun of it more.

Here's a thank you card for one of Beth's preschool leaders:
I used Winking Student from Sugar Nellie's Simply Sassy range, and coloured her using my prisma pencils.  The dp is from my  stash, no idea what it is!!!  I added some ribbon, flowers and a button, stickles and finally stamped the PB thank you sentiment.
Challenges:
 The Sugar Bowl - sketch
Paper Play challenge - sumer citrus splash
Trully Scrumptious - summer sparkle
For Fun - out of School


I am still trying to get a couple of Christmas cards made each week ...

 I coloured the iamge using my prismas again and then used my nesties to cut her out.  The dp is Basic Grey and I punched the snowflakes using my MS punch, and added card candy to the middles.  I stickled the iamge and added a serntiment.  Very quick and simple.
Challenges -
Lili of the Valley - punch it out
Crafts and Me - punches
Totally Gorguss - sketch

And finally ... one I am not sure about but hubby loves!!
I love Hamish from Sugar Nellie, and he is in his rugby outfit.  I coloured him using my promarkers, and he is in Warrington Wolves rugby kit (a request!).  I used yellow and blue cardstock, and embossed a panel of cardstock.  I used a WOJ pendant die to make the flags and drew the lines on using a promarker.  The sentiment is part of an Inkadinkado stamp.
Challenges -
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Everybody-Art-Challenge - banners and flags
Passion for Promarkers - sporting marvels
Simon Says Stamp - for a man

We are off out to IKEA and then the cinema .. .and tomorrow I have a date in Blackpool with my fabby friend Ali.
