Friday Sketchers

Thought I would pop over and see what their sketch was like today. I don't enter my cards for the challenge though but if you would like to have a go pop over to their blog here
The image was sent to me from my friend Tracy some time ago and although I coloured it in at the time I hadn't got round to making a card with it.



I made another patriotic father's day card last night, this time using an image that was on a set of stamps from Papermania and another random birthday card using up some odd bits of pp I had left over......better than putting them in the bin I say !





Back to some more crafting now. I still need to bag a couple of dozen cards up before tomorrow morning, ready for the school fayre in the afternoon.So it might be a better idea if I did those first I think !


I found these chipboard teachers bits and the tag while I was looking for something entirly different. Can't even remember when or where I got them from to be honest but might as well put them to good use, so another teacher thank you card.

Patriotic Father's Day

Well I do hope that England will win a week tomorrow otherwise some of the football mad fathers out there are not going to have a very good day on the Sunday. Not that I like football one bit and to be honest I shall be glad when it's over but I do inderstand how people can be carried away with something that they enjoy. Having said that, I really do hope England will do well, better still win the World Cup. I remember the celebrations when the won it in 1966 well !!!

So here's a patriotic father's day card I made this afternoon together with some Wedding Cards that I forgot to upload yesterday..enjoy !

Now I'm playing catch-up !

Yes that's right, I'm running out of time to make and have enough variety for the school fayre on Saturday ! I do this every year and every year I say I'm going to be a bit more organized the following year....oh well onwards & upwards as they say !
Here are a few that I've made over the last couple of days.

Fathers day ones to start with :






Some packs of thank you notes, sorry about the image I had already packaged them up !




The apple teacher "thank you" one next.I saw a similar one on someones blog/gallery sometime ago, I sketched it very roughly at the time and now I can't find it. So I had to make a lot of it from memory.I did however remember that there was a big apple that made up the background which I cut with the cricut. I roughly inked this with some chalk inks to get the appearance of a real apple and added a Magnolia image to it. I don't like the fact that they don't have mouths, so I add them in...oops I hope the designer of these stamps don't mind !!!



A couple of baby ones.




and finally a Sarah Kay image
