Sketch Saturday and Forever Friends Challenges .................

This week over at Sketch Saturday the challenge is to choose any previous sketch, so I have chosen Sketch 28. This is a new stamp that I got for Christmas from my sister and the papers are also Forever Friends from my sis, she always buys me great presents!

I also decided to decorate to my envelope to match my card. As I coloured the image in promarkers I put a piece of card inside the envelope to stop the markers bleeding through to the other side of the envelope. I am quite pleased with how this card and envelope turned out.

I am also entering this card into the Forever Friends Challenge who have an open theme this week.

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. We had a lovely time with it being Grace's first Christmas, I think I must have took a million pictures! I just have to start working on the scrapbook pages now!

Thanks for stopping by, please leave me a comment if you have time.

Hugs Lynsey:)

I was naughty ................

Well I had a fantastic time at the NEC on Saturday but the traffic was a nightmare and all because Top Gear Live was on! I wondered why there were so men walking towards the halls, I didn't think they had all converted to card making!

Anyway once I was in there I was like a child in a sweet shop and I didn't know where to look first! It wasn't hard to spend your money there and it was card making heaven! The first picture is goodies I have brought for myself and the second picture is what I brought with Christmas money from my mum and dad. I'm not allowed them till Christmas though! So as you can see I was a bit naughty lol!

I hope you have all had had a great weekend.

A busy week & some goodies!

Hi everyone, I have had such a busy week. I got a new laptop at the weekend so I have been busy sorting that out and turning my computer cupboard in my living room into a crafting cupboard. I am so pleased as now I can surf the net on the sofa and make my cards in the living room. I have also been busy taking Grace out and about and been to a fireworks display so there has just been no time to craft! I'm off to York for the weekend Christmas shopping tomorrow morning so I won't be able to make any cards till next week. I think I might have withdrawal symptoms by then lol! I didn't realise till tonight how much I am going to miss my little girl Grace. She will be 7 months next week and I have not left her overnight before, but she will be with her Dad so she will be in good hands.

These are the goodies that I choose with my voucher which I won from the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge . I am so pleased with my new stash thanks Secret Crafter! Sorry about the bad photo it was taken in a bit of a rush.

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge ..........

This week's challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge is a sketch by the very talented Sue. This is a lovely sketch, quite simple but with a big image it works well and I will be using this one again.

This is my newest Forever Friends bear I just love them! I have coloured him with Promarkers and I am quite pleased with the results. The shiny bit on the cake is a little bit of glitter paint to just finish it off.

Please leave me a comment if you have time I really appreciate them all.
