Babies & A Sketch

This week at I ♥ Promarkers the theme is babies. Have had this image for ages from Charmed Cards & Crafts. Got a little frustrated trying to colour her hair so ended up paper piecing it and used promarkers to add the shading. The babies blanket is also paper pieced again shading with promarkers.

Followed another great sketch from Friday Sketchers and used papers from Paper Cellar. Machine stitched all the layers and decided to add some beads which I have seen the fabulous Alison do many times on her cards. My only problem was I couldn't find a needle slim enough to thread the beads so had to keep taking off the needle adding the bead and then re threading the needle so only did one corner! Added some hand made flowers and some glittered Marianne dies :)

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend and ready to start a new week :)

Kenny K challenge #35

Finally managed to finish this card for the Kenny K challenge, which is a fabulous sketch by Donna.
Used the lovelly All That and coloured her with promarkers. Papers are from g.c.d and Dovecraft. Made the flowers using a scalloped nestie and a punch.

Have a fab weekend and don't forget to leave a comment as I love to read them :)

What's On your Workdesk? Wednesday 92

Oh boy what a week, can not believe it's Wednesday again and I have been such a terrible WOWWer, don't think I made it round any desks last week! I promise to try harder. Work has been so very busy and intense, I can usually do a bit of blogging during lunch but have not even had chance to do that!

Anyway my desk this week is looking some what untidy, well may be not from this photo, but I am only showing you a little bit :) Printed out some Kenny K's yesterday, not to sure what I am going to do with them at the mo, card on the left I am making for my mom as it's her birthday on Saturday. Can't remember where the image came from, but first saw it on the amazing Christines's blog a while ago and have used her colours to colour the image (hope she doesn't mind)

Another amazing blogger pal, Rosie, sent me some stamped LOTV (as I only have a couple) which I received in the post today. Thank you hun, I will pop over and thank you personally :)

I also received in the post today my first ever Polkadoodle's cd, will be taking that in to work tomorrow to print off some papers hehe and I also got a free paper pack with my magazine. So plenty to keep me going for a while. Oh and top left my lovely mother has been makig me little crochet flowers, not used any yet, should really try and fit some on her card hehe.

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday and if you fancy having a nosy at some other fantastic work desks pop of to Julia's fab blog!

Green, Purple & a Sketch

Struggled a bit with this card, I like purple just not sure about the green. Rach has done a fantastic sketch over at Friday Sketchers but not sure I have done that justice either hehe
Used the gorgeous Devilish Donna from Kenny K. Forgot I was making this card for the I ♥ Promarkers challenge and coloured her hair with copics, tsk, but the rest of her is coloured with promarkers. The main papers are from a really old pack from Paper Adventures, sentiment is from TLC and flower from the Pound Shop :)

Have a great Saturday :)

Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday? 91

Very quick post tonight, missed this last week so was determind to get a post in tonight. If you have read my 'About me' you will know I am an on-line gamer and as there was an expansion last Tuesday have been kind of tied up playing in a virtual world hehe. Anyway back to my desk and as you can see it's full :) I know someone at work that used to own a sewing shop many years ago in the city centre, which she sold, and she has been clearing out her house and found some of her old stock she had kept but no longer has any use for. We just happend to be chatting the other week and we got onto card making, which I said I was doing and she said she would bring me some bits in. Look what she brought me in today - lots of blank cards and envelopes in all sorts of differnt colours and textures, a pile of cross stitch canvas again in different colours, weaves and some is even sparkly and a bag of bits including that lovelly metalic thread. I am so thrilled, am going to have to make her a lovelly thank you card :)

Have a fab Wednesday all, will try and get round a few desks but life is a little full at the mo, even work is busy, which eats into my blogging time hehe. If you havent seen Julia's blog yet nip over and go check out the fabby desks out there :)

Kenny K Sketch

Woohoo made it!! Second post of the night. This has got to be the quickest card I have ever made. This week at Kenny K, the marvelous Rachel Jakes has supplied a fab sketch for the challenge.
For the first time I created the card before colouring the image. I knew I wanted to use my new g.c.d papers called Paris Nights and I was going to colour the image in black & greys, thank god I didn't as it would not have gone as well with the papers. Used the fantastic Harley Rider and coloured her with copics and the sentiment is from LOTV and thats about it. Really enjoyed making this card, definatley going to put my papers together first in the future hehe.

Anyway hope you like my Kenny K, thank you Rach for a fab sketch and fab inspiration and now I am off to bed :)

Stitch & Sketch

Finally managed to get a card completed and blogged. Had the week off for half term and have no idea where it has gone. Anyway made this card for someone at work and followed the fab sketch over at Friday Sketchers, which btw they have managed to get Rachel Jakes to help them with their challenges. I have followed Rach's blog for a while now and I adore her cards, she is amazing so this is fantastic news :) Have used a stamp from Moments in Time collection (am determined to make cards using all these stamps!) She is coloured with Promarkers, so am also entering the I ♥ Promarkers challenge which this week the theme is Stitching and I have machine stitched around the backing papers, I know a bit safe but I just wanted to get a card finished hehe. Papers were a freebie with my cuttlebug and the patterned paper is from Dovecraft. White flower from Wild Orchid and everything else is from my stash.

Off now to hopefully get a Kenny K card done for their challenge, which Rach has done the sketch for (she gets every where! hehe)

Have a fab Sunday and don't forget to leave a comment as I love to read them :)
