Sketch time

Hi all hope you're well, it's a bit of

a Boo hoo day for me, my baby (she's nearly 12)

has gone off to London on a 3 day trip with 

her school. We were up at 6 this morning as 

they where leaving at 7.30 to catch the train.

Though when i got up this morning

she was so excited she was already up

watching the TV.(Why can't this happen on

 a normal school day??????????) 

Anyway I'm sure she will have a fabulous time

they have a none stop schedule seeing all the

sights and the weather isn't to bad thank goodness.

At Papertake this week it's time for another

brilliant sketch from our lovely

Dawny.

We are sponsored this week by

Simon Says Stamp.

This time i felt it worked better for me if i 

flipped the sketch on it's side.

 

I thought it was time to have a play with 

these fabulous Patchwork Pixies again

they are so adorable.

I have used Bristol Board and coloured with

Polychromos Pencils and blended with

Sansodor.

The papers are from Basic Grey.

Flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts.

Scallop oval nesties and i have used 

Antique Linen and Vintage photo distress inks.

Ribbon and faux brads from stash.

Look what I'm going to tackle next

With having loads of time to kill this morning

i ended up in a yarn shop (i don't know how that

happens, it pulls like a giant magnet). 

Next thing i saw this fabulous

yarn, i just love the colours they just jumped out at me

from the shelf and look if you bought the wool

you get a free pattern. I have never tried

making sox so this should be fun.

Watch this space.

Thanks for looking today and 

please stop by Papertake weekly and 

have a go.

take care 

Truly Dimensional at Papertake Weekly

Good morning it's Papertake time again

and this weeks challenge is
 

Truly Dimensional

Sponsored this week by WOJ.

I have really gone to town with this challenge,

i had just got my scor-pal for mother's day

and couldn't wait to use it.

so i decided to make a tri easel card.

The images are Patchwork Pixes that came free with  

Simply cards and Papercraft mag issue 82.

They are coloured with Polychromos pencils and blended with sansodor, I have also decoupaged them.

I have used the heart and mushroom

from the set as stoppers,

and mirror imaged one of the mushrooms

on my computer for the other side.

The papers are from Doodlebug.

Have used Nestie circles

and the lace is from my stash.

I really enjoyed making this although it took 

three days in all, it was the

colouring that took the time.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you 

all have a go at this weeks

papertake weekly challenge

Patchwork Pixie

Hi all, yes it's Papertake time again and it's middle of

March already, I'm sure somebody has hid the Fast Forward

button, it only seems a few weeks since Christmas.

Our theme this week is

 Trio-Tastic. 

Please use 3 different things on your card ie

shapes, papers, flowers

or whatever you want

This week we are 

Sponsored by The Ribbon Girl

Don't you think this little pixie is just the cutest

holding her bluebells. Well it's even better when

you find out she's a digi image and she is also a

freebie.

Yes she, along with two pages of cute images were

free in the middle of Simply cards and papercraft

that i bought a couple of weeks ago.

The Patchwork hearts were also part of the range,

which have been designed by David Parkins.

The papers are a mixture from Wild Rose studio lilac mist,

and Craftwork cards Vintage rose paper pads.

I used promarkers to colour her.

I made the crochet flowers, and used my blossom nestie 

for the shapes.

The three things i have used are

Papers

Flowers 

Shapes

so pop over to Papertake weekly and have a go.

It's a bit cloudy here today but i think spring is

definitely on it's way. When i took the kids to

school this morning i noticed all the daffodils

seem to be out they looked beautiful.

Thanks for looking
