The Sugar Bowl 98 ~ Fi's Sketch...

Hi all. Are you having a good week?  If like me you're probably rushing around like crazy people trying to get organised for the big day.  It doesn't help with all the germs and bugs the kids keep picking up from school, resulting in days home! 

Anyway, we have a new challenge for you over at The Sugar Bowl. The last one of 2012. This time our lovely Fiona has a sketch for you to follow;

With an optional theme of 'Let It Snow'.

Unfortunately I couldn't follow the theme this time as I had a special Birthday card I needed to make.

I used 'In The Garden' available here.

I coloured it with my Copics.

The papers are Fancy Pants 'Summer's End' and the ticket sentiments are by 'Whimsy Stamps'

Please join us if you can.....4 Sugar Nellie stamps for the lucky winner.

I'm off to continue with my rushing around.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Gem Of A Challenge 52...

Hi all! Sorry I'm a day late posting my A Gem Of A Challenge DT card, but we only got back from our break in North Wales yesterday teatime, and with all the washing and chaos, I couldn't get on here to do it.

This time it's Vicky's turn to host, and she has a  sketch for you to follow...

For my DT card I used this super sweet digi called 'Jodie With Baubles' from Pink Gem Designs.

I used my Copics to colour her.

Other Ingredients;

Fancy Pants Winterland Papers,

Dark Brown card,

Floral Oval Nestabilities - in stock now at Pink Gem Designs,

Scalloped Nesties,

Memory Box Frosty border,

Seam Binding,

Craftwork Cards sentiment,

Gems.

Hope you'll join us with our challenge. Four Pink Gem Designs digis up for grabs for one lucky winner.

We had a lovely holiday in Wales....when we eventually got there! We broke down on the way and had to be towed the last leg of the journey by the AA. The very helpful AA man was wonderful. He even towed us to a pub/hotel car park so we could use the loo. Then towed us to our holiday park in Towyn, where he off loaded us and our luggage before taking our poorly car to the nearest Vauxhall garage. Our caravan was really lovely and also huge (8 berth) It was a pain being without our car but there was lots to do around the park for the kids. Then my Mum & Dad drove up to us for a couple of days which was lovely, and at least we had some transport at last! My sister and her family also came to visit. Four days and £217 later, we had our car back all fixed. An expensive holiday in the end. Glad to be home! 

Thanks for stopping by!
