VERY excited writing up this post as today....

Thank you Maria Therese (of the Simply Sassy Blog) for asking me :-)

I made this card to be shown on the Simply Sassy Blog, using one of my faves, 'Windswept' (available over at Funky Kits). I also followed the latest sketch over at The Sugar Bowl...and the theme, 'girly'.
I will link this up as soon as I can with being away at the moment :-)

Other Ingredients;

Copics,

Spellbinders Lables 20 (currently discounted over at Pink Gem Designs),

My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper - Breeze (Crafty Emma's Store),

Flowers from stash and Crafty Emma's Store,

Dark Brown Card,

Ribbler,

White Pigment Ink pad,

Vintage Photo Distress Stickles,

Various brass charms,

Wooden buttons,

Various twine & thread,

Making Memories sentiment,

Teal Lace from stash.

I put the dark brown card through my ribbler then swept the white ink pad across.

Thank you so much for looking!

Hopefully back later in the week with more scheduled posts.

Squeezing In A Quickie...

Oooh I'm naughty. Bet you didn't expect to see me again any time soon? Should be working through my check list and checking all is packed and done....but then I remembered to blog this, my entry for The Sugar Bowl. A fab sketch by Marlena and a theme of 'One For The Girls'. 

I just had to ink up this fabulous Sassy stamp 'Team Spirit' again (love her!). As always, this Sugar Nellie can be purchased at Funky Kits.

I loved colouring her with my Copics.

Other ingredients;

A gorgeous pad from Crafty Emma's Store, 'My Mind's Eye - Blush',

On The Edge card blank, also from Emma's Store,
Crochet Flowers,

Gems & Pearls (also available from Crafty Emma's Store),

Ric Rac from 'Funky Farm Scrapbook Barn',

Large pom pom trim from 'Sew Sweet'

Other ribbon & raffia lace from stash,

Sentiment sticker from stash,

Martha Stewart punch,

Nesties from Pink Gem Designs.....who have some special discounts on at the moment to make up for them being on holiday. Please check out the store for full details of the discounts.

Oh forgot to mention last week, it was mine & hubby's 10th Wedding Anniversary on Thursday....though we've been together for almost twice that long. I am so awful I didn't get time to make him a card! Infact we didn't do anything special at all, but we will hopefully be making up for it on holiday.

Right I'll say my goodbye's (again!), and I'll be here with a scheduled post for you on Tuesday (something a bit exciting happening!). Then back in the flesh in a week or so!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Gem Of A Challenge #28 ~ Sketch By Mandy...

Hi all! Many thanks for your comments this week. I've been trying to pop on the computer when I can and leave a few comms myself, but having all the kids home it's easier said then done. I roped them into helping me have a sort out this week...clothes and stuff. We filled 6 huge charity bags and still have more to do!

This week will be spent packing ready for our hols. 

Anyway....to the point and all!... time for a new challenge over at A Gem Of A Challenge.

This time Mandy has this lovely sketch for us to follow (as always Janet has worked her magic and made it look all beautiful)...

I used one of the mega cute new releases ' Andy & Snowman', and coloured him with my Copics.

Don't forget to check out the other new releases and sentiments.

Also please check out the new Christmas digi papers over at Pink Gem Designs. I have used some on today's card. I have printed mine onto Papermill linen card. 

My lacey Nesties are also Pink Gem Designs.

The Papermania flowers, mirri paper, ribbon, and brad are from my stash.

The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one chopped in half with sticky nail heads attached. 

The Card Candi and star gems are from Crafty Emma's Store.

Please check out the other DT makes if you get a minute....they're fab!

Thanks for visiting!

Back later.....Jenny xx
