Sarah Kay meets Papertake

I haven't inked up my Sarah Kay's in a while so I thought I would enter the Sarah Kay challenge this week, in which you have to include an animal. I have used Rose's Garden as it has a cat/dog (never sure!!) and followed this week's fab papertake Weekly Challenge sketch by Dawny.
Its pink (Marcea and Sue please take note!!!) and a bit busy but I do love Eva papers!

Papers - Basic Grey Eva

Images: Sarah Kay Rose's Garden, Penny Black transparent set (name gone from mind and too lazy to look!!)

Embellishments - ribbon, gems and prima flowers from stash

Blue Sarah Kay

The Sarah kay challenge is Blue. I really like working with blue so I thought I would have a go.
I have been a bit restricted on papers as we are dog sitting for my Mum and Dad. I embossed so cardstock and used one of Anita's Christmas papers that reminded me of Victoriana wallpaper. The image is watercoloured in blue pencil crayons. I added lace, prima flowers and some blue wire to complete it.

The Sarah Kay Challenge this week is ...

Trio of Papers

This week we would love to see what you can come up with the use of your Sarah Kay Stamps,and 3 Patterned/Designer Papers.

I have kept the layout of this card simple and not really embellished it as I have picked some quite 'busy' papers. I have used aqua promarkers to colour the image, and K and Co papers. The lace and wire is from my stash.

Sarah Kay and papertake weekly challenges

As the Papertake Weekly Challenge this week is a fab sketch by Katharina, I have combined it with The Sarah Kay challenge to use purple and green, a colour combo I love.
I have coloured and cut out the image and matted her onto DCWV cardstock. The papers are DCWV and Making Memories. I have added ribbons and flowers from my stash, and some wire.

Sarah Kay challenge sketch

I have managed to get the Sarah Kay challenge sketch done this evening.
I love these K and Co papers and think the Sarah Kays sit really well on them. The cream lace is from my stash and the flowers are Primas. The peeloff is from stash - not something I often use but it seemed to fit.


Thanks for looking.

Sarah Kay Charm

This week's Sarah Kay challenge is to use charms, pendants or dangles! I don't have any charms in my stash, however Vicky has sent me a lovely card with a charm and some beautiful flowers on it. Sadly Beth has started to de-construct it as only a nearly 2 year old can!! So I have taken the charm off it (before she eats it!!) and put it in this card. Thank you Vicky! It is supposed to hang down, but it insisted on flying in the scanner!
The papers are K and Co and Making Memories and the flowers are Prima. The ric-rac is from my stash.

Sarah Kay challenge

The Sarah kay challenge this week is to use three buttons and three jewels, and the Spoonfull of Sugar challenge is to use something recycled on your card. I don't usually use buttons, so have recycled some off some clothes that Beth has grown out of!!
I decided to use some delicate floral papers for a change so Ihave used these lovely lilac and green papers by Making Memories. The heart jewels are by papermania and the ric-rac from stash.

Altered CD

Emma has a few altered CDs on her blog, so for the Sarah Kay challenge this week I thought I would have a go at altering a CD. You are not allowed to use squares (my fave card shape) so circles and ovals called.

have used DCWV Old world Mat Stack papers for this one, and added a cream ribon and proma flowers. The faux stitching is getting a bit habitual at the mo - but I love it!!

Sarah Kay Sketch

The Sarah Kay challenge is a sketch this week.

Its a fab sketch and I really enjoyed using it. I have used some Making Memories papers that I have been saving for scrapbooking, but have never used. The white paper is lace patterned. I have inked the edge of the image in pink, rather than matting the image twice. I love this lace ribbon and thought it would work well with these papers. The colour scheme is a bit pale for me as I prefer bold, strong colours, but I really like the overall effect.

Lilac Sarah Kay

I have been away to stay with my Mum and Dad for a couple of days with girls, and as is the norm, Beth has decided to be ill. She has had a bad cold which she has inevitably shared with me, so I am feeling lousy and not at all creative.

I finally completed the 15 baby cards and am trying to get back to making less pastel cards ... so this challenge was to use lilac!!! I am sorry I have used some, but I have opted also for the darker version of lilac, purple!!

I have used Precious Moments and Papermania cardstock, which has been embossed. The image is matted onto lilac mulberry paper which I have torn. I have added some lace, some Prima flowers and a Making Memories Hydraenga. I got carried away with different types of faux stitching (putting that down to the temperature!!). The image is not exactly where I wanted it to be... I sneezed at the wrong moment and DST and mulberry paper, well I am sure you will understand. I will add a greeting at a later date in the space in the top corner.
