Eat Sleep Stamp Challenge

This fab blog has the following sketch challenge as part of their Sketchy Thursday celebrations

Spring has sprung!

The clocks have changed - thank goodness - now when I go and collect the munchkins from Cubs and Brownies I wont be doing it in the dark - the village hall isnt very well lit which I hate - so yay for Spring.  Beautiful daffodils bobbing around all over the village - think they always look so sweet with their yellow hoods on bit like the old fashioned caps a baby would wear for a Christening with lace all round the front! Here are the ones my bamibos picked for me today - normally we say dont pick the flowers let everyone enjoy them but when they came in this evening with these for me and we do seem to have an abundance of them in our village - I took them and placed them in water - they are like drops of golden joy to me - because they were given with love and with pride!

After tea this evening I decided seeing as the weather was so beautiful I would take advantage - no no no not in feet up, book out and a glass of something chilled - huh I wish!!!  No I got the window cleaning spray and my fandabby cloths out - and have done all the front of our home until it gleams - yay.  Now lets hope we get another day this week so I can do the back - but the conservatory well that may take a bit longer - lots and lots of windows in there!

On the crafting side of things I have joined a lovely little group of crafters on facebook and we have each month to do two x atc 2 x postcard and 2 x tags - each with different themes

ok should anyone from the group be reading this - dont think so but just in case dont look at the piccies below or you will spoil the surprise - lol!!!

Anyway for the atc's - the theme was Spring

The theme for postcards was friendship

and for Tags - the theme was Paint!!!!

I really enjoyed getting my hands all covered in paint and generally playing with textures - applied the layers of paint and then sponged some bits off and took some off with a textured paper towel - I of course did all the paint on top of pages torn from an old book, once the paint was dry - I inked the sides and tore paper flowers inked them up - generally I had a good play and got totally filthy but hey hoe...oh and plenty of sari ribbon!

Challenges

I entered one challenge this weekend and its here - it is a sketch one

here is what I did - I really quite enjoyed it - thanks Card Sketchers - top challenge

I am quickly this evening making a Good Luck in your new Home card - will pop back with a piccie of that tomorrow when its finished - TTFN xxx

edited to add = finished....

Ready for a challenge...what's out there?????

I got a bit way laid latter part of last week - too much work to do - but I have a day off today and am ready to craft craft craft - so springboard into operation to look for some fabby challenges...where will the board take me today....................

Here is my first port of call Sketchy Colourswith this fab sketch

The fab prizes for the lucky winner of this one = 4 fab downloads from Kenny K - totally awesome digi designer - am totally in love with the style - would be over the M O O N !!! If I was lucky enough to win - he is fantastic!

Then next is an Easel Card - I have received a beautiful one for my birthday from my longtime friend Carol - it was beautiful - have not attempted one yet so why not today as there is a Easel Card challenge craftyourpassionchallenges

Edited to add - rightyo that is the easel card done and drying - took me a lot longer than I anticipated - think I may do another one to try it out again as Yes I am kinda pleased with it but not 100%
Ok that's two for a starter - am going into my new kitchen now to throw poen the doors and let the air flow through, pop the cd player on and spend a couple of hours playing/creating - back soon - ttfn xx

Sunday Night Challenge

Card Patterns Sketch Blog

Here is what I came up with from the above sketch

a free digi image coloured in with my promarkers - I chose the papers - think they were from Dream Street a couple of years ago and are in my bag of scraps to use, then coloured the image, 2 large pieces of paper, then a thin strip with some yummy ricrac on top and the Congratulations greeting!
I enjoyed doing this one!

Random Acts of Creativity have this fabulous challenge sketch

and here is my take on it

Making a note of three challenges so I can hopefully do them tomorrow evening

Edited to add - Yay I did them - as you can see below

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog

Hmm have spent a bit too long on facebook on the Raf Telecoms Forum - memories come flooding back - 12 years and had a blast! Rightyo off to play - cards still wet so will have to upload tomorrow - will I have time to do this one - eyes are getting heavy now - if not I will complete it tomorrow evening - NNight all xxx

*****Eyes are seroiusly heavy now - tis 20 to 1 in the morning and am definitely going to bed once I have uploaded this - - nnight all

It's Monday and I am a ready for a challenge or three!

I am on the lookout for challenges today - and I have popped along to Craft Your Passion Challenge Blog. Their theme is Red, White and Blue and Anything Goes - Sounds good!

First one done

What else.......

Well I hopped on over to  Bunny Zoe Crafts Blog and their theme is CELEBRATION!!!!! I think I will enjoy this one!

Second one done...

Then over to Cupcake Challenge for something PINK  and something fluffy and has to include a cupcake ...mmmmmmmm - to ponder that one

 

Hoppity hoppity hop and I landed on the Always Crafting Blog and apparently "Anything Goes" - I do like the sound of that - hmmm the ladies are coming over tonight for Mondays Craft CLub - truth is there are 4 of us up until 2 months ago there were 5 of us that gather every Monday evening in my home and we sit around the kitchen table and we craft - it can be painting, drawing, goldwork, embroidery, knitting, sewing, card making or scrapping. I am 45 and am the youngest - there is a lady who is crazy on her German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs - they are her babies - she has just qualified to judge at Dog Shows - she is in her 50's, then we have a lovely lady and friend who lives across the way from me - she is very much a gentle lady and is in her 70's and then there is a lady who is in her 80's  - she is so talented and has taught classes in the past - they are all lovely ladies and so different in character - the experience amongst them is fantabulous. We have recently lost a member - my other neighbour also in her 80's - she has recently moved to a warden controlled place further away - we do miss her and will pop over to see her soon. 

and finally.....

Well anyway I shall be joing the ladies when they arrive at 8 this evening and instead of thinking what shall I do this evening, I will have these challenges to play with...back later to show you what I concoct (hopefully)....Bye for now


Phew - made it - but only just!!!  NNight all in blog land   xxxx
