Monday Sketch Challenge

The Sketch

My Sketch Challenge Card


Good Monday Morning Ladies,

I have gone for something a little simpler this week, to give your poor brains a rest, 
this sketch is also a good way of using some of your patterned papers, (if you have as many as I do that won't be a problem)!
You can choose anything you like to go in the circle part of the card, a large flower or a topper of some description, its totally your choice and as usual you can embellish to your hearts content!!

I hope that you enjoy this weeks design. 

How do you all feel about experimenting with different cards shapes, easel cards, gatefold cards etc??

Half term this week so a chilled out vibe in our house, Lucy seems to be slowly making a recovery from her almost two week virus, I personally think they are put under way too much stress at school these days, the sole focus seems to be getting them off to University, I personally feel that that isn't the right choice for every child!
Rant over, soap box back in its usual place!

To our absent friends I send love and hugs, you are all very much missed, please hurry back soon. XXXX

Love and Hugs to all,

Sandra

    Hello Sandra and all, love to days challenge,was only thinking yesterday I wish I could use some of my lovely papers, so this will be just the job.
    Very cold ,but NO rain, first day dry for ages. Lovely to wake and not have to put the light on.
    Glad you're feeling better Michele, hope you have an easy day at work.
    Have a lovely half term with the girls Sandra, I agree with about schools and universities, definitely not the right choice for all, especially those not so academically gifted.
    Have to catch up work wise today,as had several days off last week.
    I visited my Sister on Friday at the main hospital, she was still on a drip and seemed quite poorly, but they moved her back to the local hospital that evening!!!! Now most of her things have gone missing ( glasses, kindle , and her nighties ) so she is just sitting in a chair not doing anything, her daughter is trying to find out what happened to her things, really very annoying.

    Hope everyone has a good day, will ponder the sketch while I am working.
    Hugs abound, take care if you have snow, and have to go out.

      Morning Lilian - pleased your Sister is once again near you and in a smaller hospital where she can be looked after much better but sorry to hear that so much has gone walkabout. People don't seem to take as much care about other belongings as they used to and glasses and such objects as Kindles are expensive. Hope your Niece gets things sorted and quickly. Hugs xxxx

      Hi Lilain,
      So sorry your sister's belongings went walkabout. For all the hospital visits and appointments I have made over the last 4 years to Musgrove, we are issued with a Patients Property bag or basket with our name attached and that should follow us when we go to different departments and on transference to another hospital. It is the responsibility of the charge nurses to ensure that this happens if we are not disposed to do for our selves. I hope the hospital finds them soon, failing that make sure you put in a claim on her behalf. x

      Hi Lilian
      I'm so pleased that your sister is now back in a smaller hospital near her family. But it must be distressing to find that her belongings have gone walkabout. If they're not found make sure you make a claim, as these things are expensive.

      Hi Lilian
      I'm pleased your Sister is back in the small hospital & near her family
      Hope you find her belongings soon how horrible & disstressing for her.
      When my mum was in hospital they lost her glasses & her hearing aid we never got them back either before she passed away.a year later.

    Good morning everyone
    Sandra this is a lovely sketch, I like your version of it as the colours are amongst my favourites.
    All back to normal ( haha) this week so should get some playtime,, didn't get much last week. It's very cold here this morning and we had a frost ivernight but no snow so that's something, like Hazel I'm nervous when its slippery.
    Michele glad you feel a bit better.
    Will be back later,
    Hugs to all our absent friends and anybody else who needs one

    Morning Everyone
    Well we have a very cold but wonderfully dry morning here with a little sunshine so I'm hoping that white stuff stays well away though having looked at the Country File Weather Forecast last evening that just might change.

    SANDRA - have a good half term and I hope Lucy and Sophie can have some playtime and not spend all of the week in revision. It was half term last week around here so it's back to normal this morning.

    I love the look of this week's Challenge so will see what I can get out of it.

    I'm up for any shaped cards. I love to ring the changes from squares so it's a YES from me.

    We went to the Range yesterday morning and I came back with one or two essentials. I really do enjoy that shop (a little too much according to someone very close to me). As I didn't pay for anything do these items come under our 'Guilty Secret' banner? I might be brave and take a picture of my crafting space though I really do not know what you will think of it if I do.

    Everything is set for the day here in the Cafe. So pleased there are no leftovers from yesterday lunchtime so I can only assume you all enjoyed.

    Hugs are in their usual place so please help yourselves and to all absentees you're all in my thoughts and prayers. Come back soon. xxxx

    Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
    This weeks challenge will be so much easier than last weeks. As you could see from my entry I hadn't even finished it, had the main bits laid out but not glued when I sent you a picture at silly o'clock (and didn't even notice the 6 had moved!) I am aiming to add a "You are no. 1" sentiment after matting etc. The rest of the challenge cards were beautiful, once again souch inspiration from you clever ladies : )
    Hopefully this week I will get it done earlier. I have quite a lot of pretty patterned papers, its daft that we don't use them more isn't it.
    We had a very busy weekend with Chris Jnr. He is teething and has a cold and cough so at times hasn't been too happy bless him.
    Maria, Brenda and Karen, I hope your throats and bottoms are not too sore, glad that you managed to have a meet up on Sat. Hopefully we ( me, Sandra, Pat and Mum) will be able to meet up with you all next time too.
    Maria, your holiday location looked stunning, thank you for sharing with us : )
    Michele, I hope your headache has already gone, take it as easy as you can at work, these bugs keep rearing back up don't they.
    Sending hugs to Barbara and all that are struggling at the moment.
    Sandra, it is easy to forget to try different card shapes isn't it, but I do like to try other folds etc.
    Off to the dentist for a check up this morning, fingers crossed I won't need any work doing!
    Please stay safe if you have to venture out in the snow those of you that have it. It is a sunny but cold day here, at the moment, no threat of snow so we are lucky. Take care xx

      don't forget to photograph your purchases and send them in to me, we have our weekly 'confessional' where we own up to our recent purchases, I think that you should cleanse your soul to and take part!
      I don't think that Swimwear will be warm enough for Farnborough Angela, also you could wear your flip-flops to show off your immaculately painted toe nails!!

    We have a lovely sunny day here again but very cold! It's lovely to have sunshine though. Even it it does show up my dirty windows!

    Good morning Sandra and everyone in the coffee shop,

    Sandra I hope you have a lovely half term week with Sophie and Lucy, Quality time you just can't beat it, has Paul got any time off this week?

    Today's challenge looks achievable - even for me!! I will have to get a wiggle on though because this week we at younger daughters to look after the children. I will try to fit it around feeding them etc. Ciara's craft stash will need to be raided (although I did pack some of my own bits) will se what I can come up with.

    We had a great day yesterday to celebrate Samuels 14th Birthday, the whole family was there, all six grandchildren children together it was brilliant. Age range 20 to 9 years old yet they all interact so well.

    Hope you are all feelings well, but if you are feeling under the weather sending special virtual hugs - just for you xx

    Good afternoon ladies, we have another beautiful day here, cold but sunny .
    Managed to go to Pilates this morning I was a bit wary with my back being a bit dodgy but feel it's done it some good, then we went to Bridge Cafe in Poolewe , who were doing an " all proceeds going to charity" day , so a friend and I helped by having some coffee and cake ( weren't we good, ha ha !) it was delicious .
    Sandra , I like the look of this week's challenge so must give it a go, I'm also happy for any shape of card.
    I had new kitchen blinds delivered on Friday and Iain put them up yesterday only to discover the pattern ( check ) is running off , over an inch in the large window size and about 1/2 inch in the small one , very obvious on the across stripe as you can imagine , it's from an English company , I ordered on line and now have to find out what can be done?
    Lilian , I hope your sister gets her belongings back as that must be really upsetting for her, but it's good she's nearer you again.
    Love and hugs to all xoxo

    Hi Sandra and all. Love the scetch and you example. Looks easy but I'll see what happens when I try it out. I usually stick to straightforward square cards but shaped cards should be interesting.
    Have a good week with your daughters around you Sandra.
    Its th last day of my son and DIL's visit today as they fly back to UK early in the morning. We have been to Benidorm for the day. Had a great time. Sat at a cafe on the beach front and watched the world go by. Some brave souls in bikinis venturing into the water. Brrr, must be mad. Then we walked along the road looking in the shops. My son bought some cigarettes and plastic bottles of alcohol to take back. We are meeting my daughter and SIL later when theyve finished work and going for yet another meal. I shall be so sad to see them go but happily I go back in a fewvweeks for a holiday so I'll see them again then.
    Take care everyone and enjoy your evening.

    Hi Sandra
    Well half term is upon us. So I hope you have a lovely week with the girls. Well, apparently Ellis will be coming home. When talking to Doreen she did say, well I'd like him at home, but the hospital Social Worker delved no further then that. Although they knew she doesn't think she can cope. So his bed was being ordered by the Occupational Therapist. I'll have to find out whether Ellis has a Social Worker. He was supposed to have one when they decided he needed help at home, but they're never seen one or spoken to one. She'll need this contact when he's at home. Watch this space.
    This challenge looks easier than last weeks Sandra. Wonder if I'll have time to do a card. Had to pop up to Doreen's to sort tables out for her this afternoon. Will look back at the comments when I've finished this.

    Afternoon ladies,

    Well, weekend did not go as planned and I didn't manage to get the last week's challenge done.
    Panto's FINAl technical and Dress rehearsals were not good, not the professionalism I have witnessed over many previous years. My job as prompt was sorely tested by glares, sneery remarks and complete indifference at times. "oh no they didn't, Oh yes they did". Considering I have given up my free time to step into someone else's role to help out, I almost blew a fuse.
    Trouble is, once the 'stars' have been given leeway to ignore what they didn't like, they carry on regardless to the detriment of other players who cannot get their lines out in the correct sequence. Their first performance to a paying public is on Wednesday so I think the term 'break a leg' might come in handy.

    Had a lovely walk along the towpath at Avalon Marshes near Shapwick this morning where I saw a beautiful heron flying past. For such ungainly looking birds with their long legs and necks, they certainly look gorgeous whilst in the air. Their necks are almost folded in half to support their heads and their legs are tucked right up.
    True nature at its finest.

    Off to do some more clearing out of the guest room before tea, I shall have nothing left at this rate! But it is so cathartic getting rid of items no longer needed or useful.
    I'll try and pop in every day whilst panto is running.
    Loving thoughts, prayers and hugs to all café chums who need them.
    Love 7 hugs

      Hello Cheryl my Dear Friend
      I know just how you feel re the Panto Mob. Having been connected with our Local Drama Group for well over 50yrs and doing anything and everything and I mean that and now am just a Patron I have experienced everything. The only words I would say is -keep calm; and try and enjoy this year's Panto. You don't have to do next year's if you don't want.
      Lovely to hear you had a good walk this morning that's got to be the best for you seeing Mother nature at her best. Hugs xxxx

      Hi Cheryl,
      I belonged to the drama group when we lived in the same village where Sue lives, I was a member for 30 odd years & used to do any thing back stage, although only prompt once I found it too nerve racking, my favourite role was Stage Manager. We always said that a bad tech & dress rehearsal meant a good first night. As you said " Break a Leg". Will think of you Wednesday.
      Hugs on way love Margaret xx

      why oh why to people get such grand opinions of themselves, its only a panto, I thought they were supposed to be fun, for cast, crew and audience!!
      I sincerely hope that it doesn't end up causing you stress, you took in on to improve your life, to help overcome your agoraphobia, the last thing you want is for it to end up driving you back indoors!
      Glad to read that mother nature blew away your cobwebs!!

    Hello all. I am still struggling to find time to leave comments. Still knitting like crazy Baby number 3 out of 7 arrived last Thu evening
    Had a great meet up with Brenda and Maria. Time REALLY flew that day. It'd be lovely to see you and the others MRS B next time. I am hoping to go to Ally Pally in April That'll depend on whether or not the grandchild has/is making its arrival then. So I hope to meet a few more of you.
    Went to Trafalgar Square yesterday to see the Chinese New Year celebrations It is the year of the monkey. I was born in the year of the monkey, so was my son and so will the grandchild!
    YOUR CHALLENGE CARDS WERE AMAZING LADIES! I missed the deadline again - see time is disappearing I will try better this week.
    SANDRA I agree totally with you re uni. My son did the job he loved He wanted to be a zoo keeper from the age of 4 and although my daughter could have - they changed the details of the course she wanted to do and changed tack in her gap year and hasn't looked back She is thriving
    I, too, like the idea of shaped cards. I might not make deadlines etc but it does get my brain cells working as Maria and Brenda know
    LILIAN I do hope your sister's things turn up.
    After spending over 3 hours at a hosp appt this morning and a fortune on taxis I must now get on with dinner AND get ready for my daughter's last Monday Salsa night for next few months
    Take care all

      Hi Karen
      Hope the knitting gets finished soon. I'm glad you had a great meet up with Maria and Brenda. They're lovely very ladies. Hope to see you at Ally Pally babies permitting. If not as Mrs B said we hope you meet up in Watford when you all next meet up.

      Oh Karen I can hear the knitting needles working all the way to hear. Did you manage to get the wool you were after ? We really need to find a softer and quieter place next time for the meet-up , my bottom is still hurting and ears are still ringing. And the others thought we are the noisy bunch, nooooo. Hope the Salsa night was good ? take care,hugs xxx

    Afternoon Ladies

    I'm finally feeling better, my headache lifted about 4pm & with it went the dizziness/nausea. I need to call at the Post Office but as I parked (5.20pm) I found they had already shut-very annoying. I ordered the special edition of Diecutting Essentials magazine over a week ago & have only just had a card to say the Post Office have tried to deliver it so I'll have to collect that before work.
    I'll send a photo of it with the freebies in to Sandra so you can all see it.

    Michele

    Hello Sandra & ladies
    Sorry haven't looked at comments yet as takes to long to get here so will read them later. I have been to the eye clinic today as usual had over an hour wait after appointment time of 11am. Then test after test with different doctors & nurses so got home a 4.30shattered & fell asleep. CHALLANGE card looks ok I think.
    will call in later just going to have dinner very late today. xxxx

      Hi Lynda,
      you must be exhausted, hospitals are so draining aren't they, not sure if its the stress of waiting around or the lighting, I am not surprised you fell asleep after 5 and a half hours, take it easy tonight or you are sure to end up feeling rough tomorrow my lovely.
      huge hugs on their way to Broadstairs !!!

Have you got any plans for the week Sandra What ever you do enjoy having your babies home. Take care my friend
      Love & Hug's Lynda xxxx
