SNS New Challenge

Hi there  - hope you all had a lovely weekend, I had a lovely day with my sister on Saturday and then went out to lunch yesterday for Father's Day here in the UK. I used our new sketch over at Sketch and Stash to make my card for my Dad - he's a keen bird watcher and likes nothing better than going out taking pics and seeing what he can see.  Obviously better to do this in the summer - and that just happens to be our optional theme at SNS for this challenge - Summer Fun!

My image is called Adventure Guy by the brilliant Mo Manning - you can find a the image here in her on line store.

My papers are Webster's Pages, and the little birdies were a gift from matey, Lesley - I've inked the edges with a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  Acutally, the wheel and arrow, which I sort of thought looked like his compass, were also a gift from Lesley- lucky me!

And, as we're being sponsored by the Stamp Fairy for this challenge - £10 voucher up for grabs, folks - I made another card using one of their images, Molly on her Swing.

The checked papers are  from Craftwork cards, and the rest  of the bits are from Stash - isn't she a little cutie!

You  can see the rest of the SNS team's gorgeous cards here.  

Sketch N Stash- A sketch with a bit of girly and a bit of bling

Well, Monday is here again - just where did that weekend go?  I know part of mine was spent with our gorgeous great-nephew Sam, who was celebrating his first birthday - we had a lovely afternoon and he even played spin the bottle!!

This is my card for our new challenge at Sketch N Stash starting today.  We're using sketch no 4 from our back catalogue and if you like we have an optional theme of Girly and Blingy.

This fortnight's challenge is being sponsored by the wonderful Stamp Fairy and the team were also lucky enough to be given an image to play with, thank you Stamp Fairy!

The Stamp Fairy

I used one of the gorgeously cute Mimi with Teddy range which you can find here.  You will see that the sketch this week calls for two images and that 's the beauty of  using digi images, you can size them to suit, or even enlarge a part of the image to use, as I've done here.

The new items on my card are of course the image, and also the flower die which I bought at Sandown in January.  For the life of me I can't remember who the papers are by, so if you recognise them let me know!  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the little bow border is from a Magnolia die.

Don't forget to check out the makes from my fabulous SNS teamies - they are gorgeous!!
