Basicgrey challenge 24

It is going to be my grandsons 17th birthday soon, and that's when the trouble starts as he is going to want to learn to drive. Worry, Worry, as I remember from when my son starting driving. At the time he didn't know what it was that I was worring about.

The Basicgrey challenge blog this week is to make something with a pocket and as I had some of HOTP Sara's surfaces lurching in my craft room, which I confess to buying ages ago and having used any of them yet, I thought the peek-a-boo pocket card would work perfect. though we would put some money in the pocket as that's what boy's of 17 usually want. The basicgrey papers are Archiac, so are the rubons and brads.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but it was getting dark by the time I took the photo.

Kazan's Sketch 21

Double Dutch and MojoMonday 75

Did a double challenge in 1 this week. Double Dutch and Mojo Monday. There was a recipe this week on Double Dutch. 4 buttons or brads, 3 scrap papers, 2 flowers and 1 metal object. It is my daughter and son-in-law's wedding anniversary so I made this card for them. I used papers and brads from Basicgrey sugared range and then punched and layered the flowers.

Laura's sketch 20

Laura's sketch this week on 2 sketches 4 you, I thought was a bit of a difficult one, but I had a go anyway, it was one of those cards that just didn't work out as you imagined it would. I used the Suger Free Fix papers from Craft Works Cards.

Card Patterns 3

There is a great sketch this week at Card Patterns. I made the card using the Smirk papers I bought last week. I just love the little people in this range.

A Mother's Day Card

Just a little card I made using the workshop idea over on Nancy Vandenberg's Blog, if haven't visited her yet you really must she has a great blog and several little workshops. I just love the vibrant colours that she uses.

Bookmark for Double Dutch

The challenge this week on Double Dutch is any thing but a card, so i made a bookmark for a friend, I used some new papers from dovecraft called Smirk love and friendship. The first picture is the inside which says friendship is .....two skinny lattes. I used some tiny magnets by basicgrey so when the bookmark is in the book it snaps together between the page so it won't fall out.

Mojo Monday 74

Managed to make another card for the challenge sketch over on Mojo Monday I made this card for a certain young lady (my niece) whose birthday will be coming up soon. The image is Jasmine by lilli of the valley, I added glitter glue to her t-shirt and trainers, and the papers or "Retro" by HOTP the flower I punched and added a litle blue button.

Kazan's Sketch 20

Despite the fact that I've had a busy week so far and hubby being at home, managed my 2nd challenge this week and it is Kazan's turn this week over on 2 sketches 4 you. The range is from K & Co and so is the flourish which is a sticky peel off which you add glitter to.

Card Patterns 2

Here is the 2nd sketch on Card Patterns which is another really simple card which are usually the most adaptable.You can flip or turn this sketch which is what I have done as my rubon which I wanted to use fit better. I used the Sultry range from Basicgrey, which I love.

Mojo Monday week 73

Love the sketch this week over at Mojo Monday. I made this using the Sugar Free Fix kit from craftworks cards. I just love the chocolate theme and the lovely pink and chocolate colours.

Laura's sketch 19

another great by Laura this week over on 2 sketches 4 you using the new stamps from Work CaCraft rds, These too my eye as I buying my granddaughter a collection of Japenese dolls. I stamped the florish onto aqua paper and then double stamped the doll. the butterfly is also part of the same set.

Mojo Monday 72

I got time to make another card today and used the sketch on Mojo Monday sketch 72. Papers are Spring Burst by Papermania. I stamped and embossed the words and cut and layered the flowers from the flower paper.

Kazan's Sketch 19

Got to craft today as no Grandchild to take care of due to the heavy Snow fall last night. I thought things needed brightening up and searched though my stash and and found this kit from HOTP and using the kazan's sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. Came up with this, I had to turn it around because of the wording on the ribbon.

Snow Day

Well it's snowed again last night and our snowman, which we made on Monday has now got snow on his hat, another day with Hubby working from home. No Grace today as Nicola couldn't get to work either. so managed to get some crafting done. When we lived up North and it snowed things carried on as usual, but here in the south everything grinds to a halt. Well it dosn't snow here very often so enjoy it while you can, as for myself I hate it.
