Sketch time!

Evening All, another quick post from me today because its already quite late and I'm exhausted! I hope you are well where ever you are in the world!

It's a Wednesday so that means only one thing....a new fab sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana and the team don't disappoint this week!

I've decided to go with what I do best - girlie! I've used soft blues, pinks and purples for this Birthday card...plus lots of glitter glue! I like this stamp set....its got lots of individual images that you can combine together to make a pretty scene. The champagne bottle and the sentiment are attached using 3D sticky pads to give the card a little dimension.

Take a peek at the SSW blog to see how the fab DT used the sketch.

Do you remember the fab 100th sketch blog hop that the SSW ladies a couple of weeks ago? I was lucky enough to win some fab candy from Genevieve...it arrived with me today and I can't wait to use it! Aren't I a lucky crafter! Thank you Genevieve!

Thanks for popping by today, see you again soon.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday's 100th Sketch!!

Hello there - hope you're keeping well!

Well, you give a girl all this time off and does she do any crafting?? No!! I'm really not sure what I did with the last two weeks, but I know I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

So, It's Wednesday...but its not any old Wednesday...today Sweet Sketch Wednesday share with us their 100th sketch! Arlana has created yet another stonker and the fab SSW DT have made the most gorgeous cards as inspiration for us. I'm so glad I stumbled over the SSW blog - they are the most supportive group of ladies and I love seeing their wonderful creations each week. To celebrate their 100th sketch they are having a fab blog hop....pop over to their blog to join in with the fun!

Here is my version of Arlana's sketch.....

I enjoyed using this sketch and opted for pink, purple and a hint of aqua blue for a fresh looking card. The SSW ladies will know I'm not a fan of bows...I never seem to have the right one for my card, so once again I made my own one out of paper!

Cupcake Craft Challenges are also celebrating this week - they have some lovely new DT members and a gorgeous new look to their blog - take a peek! Their challenge this week is "Something beginning with C".....so I opted for......chocolate! I love this stamp, it always makes me giggle! Pop over to their blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards. Ohhh, I nearly forgot to tell you...the Cupcakes ladies are having a blog hop as well this week!

Right, I'm off to join in the blog hopping fun!

Thanks for stopping by today.
