Encore de sketch - Another card sketch !

Voici ma carte pour le sketch #16 du blog de Sandrine. J'ai utilisé mes même papiers de Kerudoc Création 'Hiver' CD au-dessous.

Shortcuts sample

The sister blog to Sheetload of cards, 'Sheetload' is giving away a sample of the fabby new clear and frosted cards they are about to launch and they look great - the example cards are well worth a look for clear card ideas. Have to be quick if you want to win the sample though - it finishes tonight!
STOP PRESS: They are offering another 5 sample sets and they are being launched tomorrow (15th) - you have until 19th to enter the draw. The full sheets look like they'll be handy for cutting cards to European sizes and for mini-album covers :)

Kaboodle Doodle & Friday Sketchers

I've combined the great sketch #18 on Friday sketchers with the Kaboodle Doodle challenge #2 of 'Feeling Spotty' on this card. Andrea at Kaboodle Doodle was kind enough to give everyone who entered last week's challenge a free download so I chose 'Berry Blossom Bright' and have used that for this week's card. Thanks Andrea! Unfortunately the flash has made too much of the bling and the white space: Better in the flesh I think!

Ma carte pour la challenge du 'Friday Sketchers' #18 et aussi de la challenge #2 du 'Kaboodle Doodle': 'Spotty'. J'ai utlisé des papiers et texte de Kaboodle Doodle. Malheureusement la photo n'est pas bien (la lumière étais trop fort).

Arty Girlz challenge - Alter It!

Seem to be behind with everything still but the Arty Girlz challenge ending today (!) was 'Alter It!' and I had in mind to use these US postal envelopes to make an expanding file: Got to find some way to get organised!!!So set off by cutting them in half, scoring in at about 2cm each side and cutting the bottom corners off at an angle so I could fold them in for the 'expanding' part:Stuck 5 of these half-envelopes together and then set about covering them. I used 2 pieces of docrafts 12"x12" paper and measured the front with a flap + gusset underneath, concertina sides and a flap over the top edge:I did the back similarly but without the underneath part, some extra concertina bits to finish the sides, then some extra pieces over the tops of the inner bits to neaten where the envelopes join.
Quite pleased with how it turned out:

Ismaki #29

Voici ma carte de Ismaki sketch challenge #29. Here’s my card for Ismaki’s sketch challenge 29:

I was determined to get a card done as I haven’t felt like my head is connected to my body lately and ended up on thyroid tablets last week, as well as already being on blood pressure tablets, and you have to take both for life once you start, so I am feeling well over my 45 years!!! So, it’ back in the saddle then!

Used: Magnolia image water-coloured and part-glazed, Dovecraft papers and stash bits!

Candy, and with a message!

Candy at: Carmen's Ecke for 20000 hits !!!
at Karin - scrap everything for 10000 hits in just 5 months !
and at Jessis Kreativblog for 10000 hits since January!
Also check out Irena's blog she has candy and stunning projects on there.

Christine at Craftlings Cosy Corner is offering great blog candy and with a point: Not only because she's topped the 10000 on the hit counter but also in an anti-word verification arguement and I have to say I totally agree! I have never used word verification, where you have to fill in those irritating jumbled letters in order to leave a message, and my blogging life would be so much easier if less people had them. I do read each message before it appears on the screen because I don't want to miss any, and I have had very little spam so don't feel that verification is necessary. Please see Christine's candy and her points and give it some thought :)

All these are not only generous but ab fab blogs too! Really recommend a visit!
