Katharina's Sketch Challenge

Katharina has produced a sketch challenge on her blog and thought I would have a go at it. It did take me a while to arrange all the pieces as I'm so used to producing very simple (like me!!) layouts. Anyway, this is what I came up with......







and this is the actual sketch......

I've coloured Tilda with Prismas and Sansodor and added glamour dust to her wings, petticoat and the centre of the flowers. Cardstock is Bazzill and mirricard, papers are from Blonde Moments, ribbon is from Little Silver Hat, charm brad is from Papermania and sentiment is from Woodware.

Hoping to get out a bit later as the weather has been awful this morning......pouring with rain and very windy.....good job I actually got off my bottom and mowed the lawn yesterday. However, the rain seems to have stopped now and the sun is starting to appear from behind the clouds.....thank goodness!!!

Just another reminder for all my SBS-13 Sisters to read the post below.....come on girls, have a bit of fun and join in!!

Stamp Something Red, White and Blue!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a little while but life has been so hectic and I have been finding it very difficult to get inspired to make anything. However, it's Friday which means it's time for the Stamp Something challenge and this week the very talented Melissa has set it! The challenge this week is a two parter - to create something in red, white and blue, and have it be ANYTHING BUT A CARD! This challenge is based on the fact that it's Independence Day in the States very soon so I have taken my inspiration from the Stars and Stripes, plus Lewis, my eldest Son, has been nagging me for ages to make him a book so this is what I came up with..... I've used my Bind It All to make the actual book and covered it with Pink Petticoat papers printed onto lightweight card and stuck some Doodlebug ribbon across the join. The image is Magnolia (which was a RAK from someone) and I've coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor adding Glamour Dust to his...
