In the summertime.

I can't believe it is the 1st of July, though you wouldn't know it from the weather here in Glasgow.  

It's time for a new challenge over at Digi Sketch Challenges, and the theme is "In the Summertime", with the lucky winner receiving 7 digis of their choice from the fabulous Bugaboo Digi Stamps. There is a great sketch to follow this week too.

I used Summertime Peekers, Flower Pot and coloured her using Promarkers and Flexmarkers, the limited edition summer set from last year worked perfectly with the digi papers I opted to use.  I used my trusty sentiment stamp and punch from Stampin' Up to complete the card.

Ingredients

Hello, today we have a new challenge over at Digi Sketch Challenges and the theme is "Cute".  We have a sketch for you to play along with too, but you don't need to use it if you don't want to.  We are sponsored by Cedar Chest Designs, who have gorgeous digital images and the prize is a $10 voucher for their online store.

I chose to use "Love Bug", and at only $1 it is a complete bargain!! I coloured it up using my trusty Promarkers, and decided to make the heart on his back a wee bit different so used Black Diamond Stickles. I used polka dot papers from the "Back to School" digi kit by Sarah Hurley as the background, and layered it up with the Ladybug Freebie from Shery K Designs. I used a sentiment from a stamp set, that I thought was perfect.

Hello again, lots of blog posts this week, and this time it's to tell everyone about a new challenge over at the Digi Galore Challenge Blog. And this time Louise has drew up a funky wee sketch for us to play with.  We are sponsored by the fabulous The Paper Shelter with a $20 voucher for their online store as the prize.

I chose to use "Undetected" On The Routes, and coloured her with my favourite MOTO GP riders colours of blue and yellow. For those of you unfamiliar with MOTO GP, the rider is Valentino Rossi and he is an amazing rider! Colouring her was rather tricky as the digi is very detailed, but thanks to fine tips for Promarkers and LOTS of patience I finished her and I love her.

Spotty Stripey Paper from Secret Rose Garden

Coloured with Flexmarkers and Promarkers

And that means a new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday, and this week it is a sketch.  The sponsors this week are the fabulous Whiff of Joy.   I have never made a card from a sketch, and that coupled with a bad case of sinusitis had left me puzzled as to what to make. So I used one of my favourite Digis from Lady Bugs Craft Ink, and used the Winter Limited Edition Promarkers, to keep the card clean and simple. I popped some glitter onto the flowers using Sakura Glitter pens.

Digi -Clear Vase of Delight
