Friday Sketch Challenge #11 (DT Post)

Better late than never I say!

We are up to Sketch #11 at Friday Sketch Challenges and I apologise for my tardiness. You may have noticed I didn't even contribute to sketch #10... work got in the way of my crafting! But I am back and have changed it up a little from the sketch as I have NO IMAGE! Instead I swapped the image part for a sentiment as I wanted this to be the focal point and used a die-cut butterfly where the sentiment is supposed to go.

I made this card with a person in mind and I really hope it makes her smile for a minute or two as she is in a very sad place right now. Squeezy hugs B! xxox

Here is the sketch...

Friday Sketch Challenge #4 (DT Post)

The lovely Tracey has provided us with this fortnight's sketch and it is a really easy one so get busy Peeps!

I have used The Greeting Farm's Creeper Crew Lula to create this birthday card for my sister's BFF's daughter who turns 13 on Halloween. Did you follow all of that? Anyway, here is my card...

 As you can see I cheated a bit with the sketch and used ribbon to create the illusion of there being 4 panels.

Friday Sketch Challenge #3 (DT Post)

Welcome to the third challenge over at the  Friday Sketch Challenge Blog. Each fortnight there will be a new sketch challenge for you to use and some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team.

Yes I know, I am late... it is Saturday! I returned from a two-week family holiday in Queensland on Wednesday afternoon and I must admit my mojo has been sadly lacking the last two days! I managed to have all of my other posts scheduled while I was away so you didn't even realise I was gone... did you? Hopefully, I will get back into the swing of things soon. I didn't pick up anything craft-related for over two weeks so I must admit, I am a little out of practise!

Anyway enough rambling from me, this is what you are really here for...

We have a wonderful sketch by Sammi this week.

I have rotated the sketch and tweaked the positioning of the sentiment a little bit. This card is for my Sister to give to her hubby for his birthday (which is today).

Happy Birthday Glenn!
