Sketch Saturday Card

Really love this sketch over at Sketch Saturday
The papers are from K&Company's La Boutique 6x6 pad, and the butterfly is from a lovely set I got in Tesco last week - only £1 for loads of lovely butterflies and flowers.
And if you're wondering where I got pretty little Mildred from, well (blows own trumpet) I drew her myself! I drew a little man for a card the other day, and now can't stop drawing! I've got loads of little people ready to go on cards now!

Secret Crafter Saturday challenge

Over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge" the theme for this week is 'Flowers'. So it's a lovely excuse to make another card with my fantastic '£2 at the car boot sale' stamp on some lovely flowery paper!

Sketch & Stash challenge

Sorted out my sock drawer yesterday and found an opened set of 6 Papermania ribbons - can't remember buying them, and have no idea how they got there!
Anyway, have used one of the ribbon on this card for the Sketch & Stash challenge. Hope you like it!

Boot Sale Stamp

Went to the car boot sale this morning and picked up a lovely stamp for £2. I've already made 2 cards using it - I can see it becoming a favourite of mine!

Two cards - one challenge!

Over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge there's a lovely sketch, with a 'Chocolate orange' colour theme.
I've made these two cards, mainly using papers from PM Inspirations Earth Tones stack, and bits & pieces from my stash.
Unfortunately, my camera seems to have made them turn a bit purple, instead of brown! Not sure how that happened..

And the heavens darkened...

Went away last weekend to Lincolnshire, visiting old churches and archives, you know, doing lovely things! Below is a picture of Whaplode Church, which was the scariest church ever! There was no-one else around, and all your could hear were crows calling. Every time I took a picture of the church my camera added face recognition to it! I tried the church door three times, but it wouldn't open, so we walked around to the other side of the church. All of a sudden the wind picked up, and there was an almighty howling/moaning noise (obviously the wind in the trees, but still scary!) We went back round heading to the car, and as we passed the door my friend tried it and it opened immediately! Then inside the church there was a strange knocking noise, and I couldn't get the door open to leave! I won't be going back there again!

Cheapo Embellishments

I bought some 'scrapbook kits' in Poundland yesterday which had some pretty cute chipboard embellishments and dome stickers in. Here are a couple of cards with the bits on - think you'll agree they're worth the money! I've still got loads of bits left, too.
