Sketch Challenge

Morning All.

Yesterday saw the start of another new challenge over at CRAFT, where there is a fab 'Sketch' for you to follow. I must admit, I do like a good sketch, it helps motivate those little grey cells, when your mojo has gone west.

I have a confession about this card, the image is a pre printed one from LOTV, which I find useful at this busy time of year - just wish my actual colouring looked that good.

Thanks for looking, and I'll see you again soon.

Summer Garden

Evening All.

Sorry I'm late with todays posting, but it's just been one of 'Those' days. Small person had a PJ day at school, and I spent ages trying to convince him he really ought to put pants on under the pyjama bottoms as there were a bit loose, and I didn't fancy any flashing incidents at school. But at least they raised lots of money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. After dropping him at school I came home to find the cupboard under the sink had flooded - and so the day goes on.......

Anyhow, todays card is ready for the new challenge at CRAFT, where this week we would like to see your summer themed creations - think I should have done a rainy card, think it would have been more appropriate.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Incy Wincy Designs - summertime

Stamps + Fun = Creativity - summer

and

Secret Crafter - use pastel colours

Thanks for looking, and I hope you don't get too wet this summer lol

Hugs Sharon xx
