Good morning! It's Thursday! That means two exciting things: it's nearly the weekend AND there's a new Challenge at CRAFT Challenge! This week we have a fabulous Sketch created by our lovely and talented Aunty Sue. So versatile! I made a birthday card for a bloke. The fun image is Frog on a Log from sponsor DRS Designs. I coloured him with Copics and added Glossy Accents to his eyes. I cut him out with a Die-namics Zig-zag Stitched Circle die, then distressed the edges with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. The butterfly sticker is from stash. The papers are all from the Snippets Drawer and the ancient paper raffia ribbon is from stash as are the star stickers. The silver-embossed sentiment is from an old Hero Arts Messages set. Go and see the gorgeous creations my teamies have made using the sketch, and join in! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

Hi, guys! Sorry I'm late, I lay down for a nap and woke up 2 hours later!! Ooops! Our Challenge at My Time to Craft is Sketchy Time! and here is the sketch: I made a card for a tea-drinker: The stamp set by Clearly Besotted unfortunately is no longer available, though they have some cute stamps for tea-drinkers and coffee-drinkers! The sentiment is from the same set. The papers are from stash, I rounded the corners with my Corner Chomper. Then I added Clear Wink of Stella to the teapot and teacup. Go and see the great creations my teamies have made using the sketch, they are so varied! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

This is the second challenge I've entered! It's for the Lily of the Valley Challenge 53 It's a Sketch Challenge: I turned it on its side, and managed to put the sentiment in the wrong place, chiz. Geometry has never been one of my skills. The stamp came from the Ally Pally, the paper from Hobbycraft, the flowers were a magazine freebie, the bow is from the lovely ladies at my local craft shop, the ribbon from stash. I really enjoyed using the sketch - it's very versatile and not too complicated!! Thanks for looking.
