WHAT ANOTHER DINOSAUR?

I should apologise but I can't ... I am love struck with these little dinosaurs (might not be saying that if it was a REAL-LIFE thing). So one little dino was posted yesterday for Sketch Saturday and this one is for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.  The images just seemed to slot well with the sketches so here goes:

Oh before that I will just say I made 6 cards in total like this as I've quite a few cheeky little nephews and friends too who can quite happily slot into my cute dino character. Cute on the outside and terrifying if you cross them!

Bit nutty but I've called my dinos Fred and Ginger; this one GINGER as it's that kind of colour and yesterday's Fred! Think I need a holiday... LOL

OH LET'S HIT THE BEACH TODAY

Evening All

Yes I'm back in action, well of a fashion; I've had some yummy time in the cupboard today but I'm just waiting for more visitors for a few days!  My cheeky niece is coming back again with Mummy so I doubt I'll be cutting and sticking - well not my sort of cutting and sticking anyway!

So my first card today - well actually both of them feature 'beachy' images.  I purchased the new Beach Cottage collection from Pink Petticoat last week and couldn't wait to get started with it.

This card is for my mum's friend who will be 70 next month and I'm hoping it'll go nicely in a couple of challenges.

Card Recipe:

Images & Papers: Pink Petticoat (Beach Cottage Collection)
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Wheel Border - freebie from Dies to Die For
Bakers Twine, Starfish Charm, gems and pearls from my stash
A touch of glamour dust on the beach huts to for added 'dazzle'

Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - By the Sea
The Sweet Stop Sketch - Spin: doillies (I'm hoping the doilley-effect paper will count)

JUST BEE-CAUSE

Hello there hope you are all well,

Scheduled post time as can't guarantee good blogging time so just a quick post to enter the Sweet Stop Sketch and Simon Says Stamp Challenges.  Would you believe I actually bought long pins to join in with Simon Says Stamp this week to follow the theme of 'Pin it' but then I found these brads which coordinate with my backing papers so hope they count too.

Papers: Trimcraft & Pink Petticoat
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Brads and nail heads from my stash.  I've added some glamour dust to my bees wings for extra dazzle.

Just realised my last few posts have all featured winged creatures ... is it because of the sunny weather and they are all out in force???

SWEET LITTLE DANCER

Whoosh!  Another hot day - and I took my desk fan with me to the office so feeling a bit more 'chilled' today!  Looks like it's here for the weekend too!

Anyway here's a card which I'm entering into this week's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.  I've used this pre-coloured image before but I think she's so delightful that I couldn't resist.

Enjoy the rest of your evening ... My daughter has sports night tonight (rather her than me) and I'll be watching Luther later - don't know about you but that was one scary episode last week.  Gripping edge of the seat / hiding behind cushions stuff but you've got to watch again to see what happens haven't you even if you can't sleep!

IT'S RUBY TIME ...

Happy Monday

Another day in the office finished ... Yippee

AND only two more Mondays left until summer holidays! Double Yippee!

So here's my card for a lovely couple who are celebrating their Ruby Wedding.  I think this image from the True Love Coloured Art Pad at LOTV is perfect.  I just love the cute darling characters.  I've used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge so I'm going to enter my card over there.

Also as it's an LOTV image I'll pop over to Jen's CAS Monday with LOTV #12 - hopefully it can pass for CAS as there's minimal embellishments and plenty of the base card showing.

Here's the sketch:

IT'S A GIRL THING AT THE SWEET STOP

Just passing by with a really quick post as I'm off out with the girls tonight to celebrate a birthday.

My card is to enter into the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge where the 'spin' is 'it's a girl thing'.  I've been asked to make some kiddies cards recently so if you notice a surplus of these on my blog that's why.

Have a good evening.

So here's the card with the sketch beneath in case you want to have a go too:

Card Recipe:

THE BUG'S IN A SPIN AT THE SWEET STOP CHALLENGE - SSS211

Hello ...

I stumbled across this sketch quite by chance at The Sweet Stop  and decided to have a go this week.  There seems to be quite a few challenges involving bugs in the last few days ... I'm running out of images to use!!! I guess that means more shopping needed. Hee Hee.

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine today wherever you are ... unfortunately I've been stuck in a stuffy office all day but did take the dog out for a sneaky walk when I got back.  I've a busy few days ahead so no time for crafting but still hope to catch up on what you've all been creating.

So here's my card

And here's the sketch:
