Sketch Saturday and Tales From Pollycraft Challenge

Made this card using this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday.  Check it out here.  I made the card to also enter Paula's challenge - Flash those freebies! over on Tales from Pollycraft.  Paula wants us all to make a card using one of her freebies, post it and she will email us a new freebie... who doesn't LOVE freebies?

I used "Flo" who was a freebie on Tales from Pollycraft a few weeks ago.  Paired her with Cosmo Cricket paper, cardstock I ran through a CB embossing folder, I coloured Flo with copics and added lots of tiny pearls.  Am also entering it into the Pollycraft challenge this week - "Bold and Bright!".

Thanks so much for peeking and I hope you find time to "flash those freebies too!".  Hope you are having a great weekend.

Sketch Saturday - Week Four

It is so hard to believe that the month of June is nearly over..... my time at Sketch Saturday just whizzed by.  Thanks so much for having me as a Guest Designer - I had a blast.

  This week's sketch is here

and here is what I did with it.

Supplies Digital image from Tales from Pollycraft, pp Cosmo Cricket - Early Bird, 

textured cardstock by Papermania, pearls by Papermania, 

image and pearls coloured with copics, misc buttons, 

misc ribbon from stash, pop dots and glossy accents.

This sketch was so much fun to work with.  I used a digital image called "New Home" that I got as a freebie recently over on Tales from Pollycraft (thanks Paula!), coloured with copics, added glossy accents and matted and layered with cardstock/patterned paper from the Early Bird range by Cosmo Cricket.  I then Added some ribbon from my stash along with matching green buttons (unknown source! again from my stash).  I used copic YG03 to colour the pearls the same shade of green in the digi and hey presto... card done!.

Again I would like to thank Paula for inviting me to be Guest Designer for the month of June - I really enjoyed my time on Sketch Saturday.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you get time to play along this week. 

Sketch Saturday - Week Three

 

 

Can you believe - it's Saturday again!.  Week three of my Guest Designer spot.... this week's sketch for Sketch Saturday's Challenge was a real fun sketch to work with and I decided to make it into a Birthday Card for my nephew who is turning TWO!

Supplies: OA Buddies stamp kit by The Greeting Farm, sentiment button 
by Tales from Pollycraft, pp by Cosmo Cricket - the boyfriend range, 
pp by Making Memories - just chillin range, 
copics, pop dots, quickutz cookie cutter circles and scrabble 
letter stickers by Jolee's boutique/EK success.

I am discovering it is very difficult to photograph a card with a window in it!  I decided to incorporate a window within the sketch design and adhered my coloured image (Oliver from OA Buddies kit by The Greeting Farm) inside the card.  I used Cosmo Cricket patterned paper from The Boyfriend range and the notebook page is from Making Memories - Just chillin' range. 

The sentiment was a freebie from Paula on Tales from Pollycraft a number of months ago and I coloured it to match the papers/image.  I also added freehanded tiny dots around the image to match the sentiment button.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I really hope you get a chance to play along with Sketch Saturday this week.  Full details are here.

Another view of the card!.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Deirdre

Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday

First ... just let me get this out of my system...woohooooooooo!!!!!! okay... we are all set..... !
A number of months ago the super talented Paula from Pollycraft also a Design Team member for Sketch Saturday contacted me and asked if I would be her Guest Designer for Sketch Saturday in June.  So after I danced around my kitchen.... I quickly responded "YES!!!!".

This is the sketch for this week

Supplies: Fluffy digi from Tales from Pollycraft, Kraft Cardstock, Cuttlebug embossing folder, 

pp by SMIRK for him range, Sentiment from PTI, brads from Papermania, pop dots, 

copics and Quickutz cookie cutting circles.

A number of you will recognise Paula's wonderful image - "Fluffy" from her Critters & Cogs Range.  I saw him and just dashed over to buy him, isn't he just ADORABLE?..... I teamed him up with the new SMIRK for him range (paper/ribbon) and some brads in my stash that matched.  I used the same kraft coloured cardstock to do some layering of textures rather than colour (for a change!!)

Thanks so much for peeking and I really hope you get a chance to play along with Sketch Saturday this week.

I just realised that my owl card with the wonderful Mami Doodles Owl image was featured on the CARDS blog yesterday in the challenge - make cards with a window!.... still doing the happy dance!.  LOL!
