Fetch A Sketch Challenge 33 - Midway Extra

It's time for the Midway Extra part to the current Fetch A Sketch challenge.  And as a reminder here is the current sketch:

You can make anything you like for the challenge as long as the sketch is followed - plus you can twist it, flip it - but we do need to see the sketch in your creation!

I've used papers from The Clip Art Fairy - Beautiful Baby Boy papers plus added some stickles around the edges and on the corners of the X Cut stars too.  I've used a circle Nestie for the image shape and the cute snowman is from Jellypark which was a past freebie so I'm not sure if it is still available.

I've coloured the snowman with Promarkers and added some silver snowflake confetti to finish off the sketch.

Hope you can join us - for more details, pop over to Fetch A Sketch!

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 28 - Midway Extra

The days and weeks seem to be flying by and its already time for the Midway Extra post for Fetch A Sketch!  We are sponsored this fortnight by Saturated Canary and two digi's are on offer to a lucky winner!

And here is a reminder of Lou's fab sketch:

And here is my rather clean and simple sample!  I've used a previous freebie and coloured her with Promarkers and used a Nestie to cut her out.  I've dotted a line of liquid pearls around the edge of the oval and also the card then tied some pink organza ribbon to the side.

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 26 - Midway Extra

It's time for the Midway Extra post on Fetch a Sketch.  And I'm sorry that my card is so late being blogged. I've had a rather busy weekend with football tournaments (I think they came next to last but first match they've played and they played in the age group too high!) birthday parties, driving in torrential rainstorms and karting (last one rather good - read it here!) Two reasons.  The keyboard at home is hard work - it works but I really have to knock the keys about but I presume its because my keyboard at work is a joy to use!  I'd left the last bits of this post to do when I got into work early doors this morning but because the interface is in need of an upgrade and blogger won't work properly with what I have, I am unable to publish or save any work that I do on blogger. 

And last week, all the pictures that I did add to draft posts have all gone so I now need to go back through and add them.  Great eh?  And after leaving the house at 7:30am this morning I've not long been home after a meeting at school.

So not in the best of moods with blogger right now!

Anyway, here is a reminder of the sketch:

And here is my take on it:

I've used some more of the rather large blooms from Alex and papers from Cosmo Cricket - Mr Campy.  The butterfly is a chipboard shape with seed bead centre and I've added seed beads with glossy accents to the flower.  A bit of  doodling around the edges and the card is complete!  Quite a quick and easy card to make once I'd decided what I was doing!

Good luck with the challenge - for more details pop over to Fetch A Sketch!
