Sketches: Creatively Yours - Jan 6th

Hi Fellow Bloggers, I saw this really nice sketch on Sketches: Creatively Yours blog the other day and thought I would use it for a card. It was actually designed for scrapbooking but as we all know we just adapt. The flourish is what caught my eye as I have used any for a while now...here's my card, hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Mojo 223

Hi Stampers....it is raining here in sunny Townsville!! It is a bit exciting as it has been soooo hot over the last few weeks which usually means rain is coming but none had eventuated. Well, it finally did today!! woohoo!!

Anyway, enough about the weather...I have been working on this weeks Mojo Monday sketch and this is what I came up with. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #149

Well Stampers, this is my last card for the day aaaaannnnnddddd it is another male card!!! woohoo!!!
My stamping/skyping friend Robyn put me onto this new sketch blog, Sweet Sunday Sketch which is what I used for inspiration for this card. It was supposed to be landscape but I cut the paper out in portrait by mistake so I had to adapt the card. This is what I came up with.....hope you like it, until next time, Happy Stamping.

Deconstructed Sketch #33

Well I am back with my second card for the day....this time I have used the latest Deconstructed Sketch for my design.  Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by.

Mojo #222

 

Hi All, I have started my Saturday off with the latest Mojo sketch and I have made another 'male' card to add to my stash...I now have 2!! woohoo!! LOL, I struggle with male cards so to have 2 ready and waiting for a birthday is fantastic!! I got a late xmas present from a friend and it had a paper pack that was male orientated so that pushed me to make anothe one. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by. Until next time....

The Project Girl - Gift Card/Birthday Card

Hi Stampers, well I am sitting at my desk again and I am not only stamping but I am also skyping with my good friend Robyn while she stamps and skypes on the opposite side of Australia!! I have been away and she has been away so it has been several weeks since we have been able to sit down together....today is a good day!! Robyn found this Gift Card / Birthday Card on the The Project Girl site and made a great card using this design...check Robyn's card out on her blog Waterlily Cards....by Robyn too. As it is the start of a new year and the birthday cycle is starting all over again, I thought I would make one of these as the majority of the 'kids' in the family are teenagers which I find makes it very hard to buy a birthday present for especially the boys, which means they usually end up getting a gift card. So, I made a male gift card holder as I have a male birthday coming up in February and will most likely use it then. I hope you like it, I think this is a great design and will definately be using it again. Until next time...happy stamping.

The Shabby Tea Room #94 & PageMaps Blog Sketch

Hi All....I would like to wish everbody a Happy New Year!!! I hope your 2012 is an awesome year for you all with lots of stamping and fun!!!
Today I have used the colours from The Shabby Tea Room challenge and a sketch from PageMaps. It has been a while since I have made such a bright card and it was really hard to get motivated at first but after picking my paper it all just fell into place. Hope you like it, until next time...happy stamping.

Creative-Sketches CS54H

Hi Fellow Bloggers, I have still been hunting around for sketches to give me some inspirtation and I came across this sketch from Creative-Sketches from October that I liked. So, I gave it a go and this is my card. My little neice is having a birthday in February and I think this will do nicely. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by. Until next time......oh.....and Happy New Year!!! See you in 2012!!!

Creatively Yours Sketch

 Hi Stampers, today I came across this 'old' sketch from the Creatively Yours blog. I wanted to make a card for a work collegue who retired today and I thought this would do nicely. The recipient is a male which is why I have used the olive & grey cardstock....I always struggle with male cards. Anyway, I think this has turned out quite nicely, hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by, until next time....

Deconstructed Sketch #32

Hello Fellow Stampers, I started off doing a Less is More challenge this morning but as the card started to get too many layers for their site, I went hunting for another sketch to use. I ended up using the latest Deconstructed Sketch but turned it upside down and I also got a shot of inspiration from Olena's blog (love her cards). When I started making this card, it was going to be for my sister in-law who's birthday is in January but I ended up making the card for our niece who will be 21 in March. She is off to Europe for the holiday of a lifetime in  May and as one of her stops is Paris and as she has already started buying nick nacks of the places she is going too, I know for sure she will love the 'Eiffel Tower' on her card. I am really happy with this card, it is a lot busier than what I would usually make as I struggle with busy even though I like it when others do it. So, I hope you like it too. Until next time, happy stamping.

Mojo #221

Hi All, I am really enjoying my week off over the xmas/new year break...this is the third card I have been able to sit down and make over the last few days. I have used this weeks Mojo as inspiration for this card, I chose to do the round card as they are always a challenge for me for some reason. The colours are very different to what I normally gravitate to also but I do try to step outside the square every now and again and I think I have done it successfully with this one. I hope you like it, until next time, happy stamping!!

Hi Blogger Friends, I hope you and your family had a great Christmas day as my family & I did. Today we are having an easy day until we go out for a Boxing Day event with friends where there will be eating, drinking, backyard cricket, volleyball & swimming....fun for all!!
I had the urge to make a card on christmas eve when I had a little 'me' time but have only just found time now to post it. This is a sketch from Simon Says Stamp that I used. I have never participated in a SSS challenge but I think I will be doing more. I missed being able to submit my card for this challenge but here it is anyway.
Until next time, thanks for stopping by....
