Happy Friday!!!

Where do the weeks go? I can't believe is nearly March already. Oh well will soon be my birthday and I can't wait. The Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show is on at Alexandra Palace on my birthday, so the hubster has agreed to take me for my birthday and is going to treat me to some stuff there as my present - yay!!! I'm sooo excited.

I've got some birthday blog candy in preparation at the moment, I'm hoping to launch it within the next couple of weeks, just depends on when everything arrives...

So today's card is for Kraftin Kimmie's challenge. Kimmie is having a Guest DT call. Did I tell you about that?? I thought I should give it a go. I've never tried for a DT before and will probably get no-where, but you have to try at some point don't you?

Today's card is in a style that is very much, not me! I'm really not sure if I like it at all. But the papers were speaking to me so I thought I'd give it a go. This week's challenge was a fabulous sketch by Elaine at Quixotic Paperie. Let me know what you think, as I'm really not convinced...

My card features Jayne and I've coloured with my copics. All of the papers are GCD Studios Paris Nights.

The Little Mister is off to stay with grandpa tomorrow, so I have a nice child free weekend to enjoy. We've rented some films are having Pizza Hut pizza and I'm going to craft. Can't Wait!

Friday sketchers upside down card!

Apologies for the lack of posting recently. So much has happened that I've been planning to fill you in on, but I was struck down by an evil flu like lurgy on Monday and I've been pretty much unable to move since. Hubby has been taking time off work to look after me and packing the little mister off to the MIL as he couldn't cope with us both - Such a man! LOL!

So I had a go at this week's Friday Sketchers. I've never been one for following sketches as I really struggle to put paper together. They have a tendancy to look too busy. But, my inspiration is running dry and my cards have been stuck in a rut, so I've followed a couple of sketches this week, so let me know what you think. I do believe I may have found the way forward.

I've made this card with the stunning Belles n Whistles Lil Miss Poppy Stamp. I think she's absolutely gorgeous. I've coloured her with copics and chalked up the edges. I've used the stunning GCD Studios Ella Blue stack for my DP. Sentiment and card candy are both from Craftwork cards.

I'm also going to enter this card into the Belles n Whistles challenge this month which is distressing. Chalking is about as good as I get with distressing, but you never know...

When it came to standing my masterpiece up to admire it, I discovered that I'd mounted it upside down. Oooops! First time in 20 years, it was bound to happen sooner or later!

I have some more cards to post today, so check back later :O)
