Monday Sketch Challenge

 My challenge card

This Weeks Sketch

Good Morning Ladies,

I managed to get a sketch up and a quick card made before dashing off to the hospital yesterday! 

As always you can add your own flare to the basic challenge card shape! 

I use Ultimate Crafts Magnolia Lane papers for my card, fussy cutting the flowers from the papers to embellish my card, a few pearls and some lace was the only thing I added. 
I hope it gives you a little inspiration.

Love and hugs
Sandra

  1. Morning Ladies

    Lovely card Sandra & an interesting sketch for us this week. I hope Matt was OK when you went to the hospital & is starting to improve health wise.

    My boss is on holiday for 2 weeks so things should be "interesting " without her. There's no-one else that's full tim or trained to cover so I always end up with 2-3 Pharmacists covering!

  2. Morning Everyone
    SANDRA- I hope you find Matt improving today and that he will be home soon. Hugs for you all.

    You're an absolute STAR - getting the CC for the week and then getting one done for inspiration. I love the sketch and I think I can ay 'it's right up my street'.
    Have done my Mini Challenge but I feel a cheat - you will see when you post them later this week.

    MARIA- good luck today for both of you. Well done on the weight loss.
    PAT- I hope you're hop skip and jumping up and down those corridors and getting nearer to the exit for home. Do you work on the principle that the nearer your bed gets to the door on the ward the nearer you are to going home. I used to do that until they created 'bays' and then it didn't work.lol

    BRENDA- It looks as though you have another very busy start to the week. What will you do after Wednesday lol.

    Our hot weather seems to have returned so it will be an early start on jobs this morning before it gets too hot later.

    Having seen the pics of Dover and reading about the traffic jams I cannot imagine sitting in the car for 14hrs/overnight. Those going on holiday for only a week must just feel like turning round (when they can) and going home. Having said all that I really do appreciate and understand the need for Security. There isn't a day when I turn this laptop on and the heading is that someone has gone berserk and killed. I really do not know what this world is coming to.

    I see Marigny Dobbie has done his job again and opened the Café so come on everyone step inside and have a look see. You'll always find something to your taste.
    Hugs are on their way for everyone.
    SANDRA- I've sent extra hugs for Matt and you of course.

  3. Good Morning Sandra and all.
    SANDRA. Do hope Matt is a lot better today.

    MARIA Well done on losing so much weight. Very impressive. Hope everything goes well for you both today.

    PAT Hope you had a comfortable night any you're managing to move around better.

    SANDRA really like todays cc. I wasn't expecting one so thank you for making time.

    Like Janet I feel so sorry for all those people sitting waiting for so long at Dover. It must be a nightmare but can also see that all the security is needed. Some terrible things happening at the moment and every day another one. When will it end.
    well ladies must away for my shower. Have a good day everyone.
    Special thoughts for Lynda.
    Love Valxxx

    Hi Sandra all in cafe,
    Sandra you are very much in my thoughts, I hope Matt is responding to treatment & is feeling better. Love & hugs to you all.xxx
    The challenge looks interesting this week will have to put thinking cap on.
    I have just come of phone from POST office travel insurance regarding my cancelled holiday. They gave me a telephone interview & he was satisfied that I would not need to send any paperwork to them & all being well would be in my bank account in 7 - 10 days, I am very impressed with their service & will certainly use them again.
    Maria well done on your weight lose, I went to WW about 15 years ago & lost 35lb & have only ever put on at the most 7lbs since, keep it up. Hope OH gets on ok & they do not squeeze you too much.xxx
    Pat hope you are getting about abit, you could well be home now, take care.xxx
    Lynda hope the meds help you.xxx
    Sending hugs to all who need in particular ro Sandra & family love Margaret.xxx

  8. Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.
    Sandra, Im so sorry to hear that Matt is in hospital with a kidney infection. My mobile phone has been dead since Sat eve and due to another migraine I didnt even look at the laptop until just now so had no idea. Please give him my love and a gentle hug, I hope he is starting to feel better now. I know how much the blog means to you (and us all) but don't go pushing yourself too hard. Everyone will keep on popping in everyday, and I will when I can see the keys! Your challenge card is gorgeous, your fussy cut flowers are beautifully cut and look wonderful decoupaged. Sending you all my love and gentle hugs my lovely xx
    Pat, I hope you are managing to walk a little further each day. I am so glad you didn't feel as bad as you did last time, thank goodness. Are you home today or tomorrow? Sending you lots of gentle get better soon hugs x
    Maria, I hope OH test went/goes well today. Well done on your diet, eating a little more will help lose some more, daft isn't it, but true as your body goes into "grab every single calorie that comes in" after a while so upping your intake will help. Good luck. I must lose some weight but after so many years of being so thin I sort of find it nice to be like nearly everyone other woman, as being so underweight is no fun at all either, believe me!
    Lynda, I hope you get on well with the new meds. Hope you manage to crush them up small enough to get into a tiny gap in the tape you have put over your mouth (see, I did go back and read all of the comments over the weekend : ))
    I hope everyone else is ok in the cooler weather, it is really windy here today and much cooler that it has been.
    Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Sandra, Matt, Pat and all in need. Take care xx

  9. Hello Sandra and everyone in the coffee shop,

    Oh Sandra what a star you are, I don't know how you managed to come up with a challenge with all you have on your plate. I hope by now you're starting to get more positive news about Matt and they can sort out his medication quickly. Sending both Matt and do you gentle hugs, is in the best place and hopefully they will sort him out quickly.

    Pat, I hope you will be home soon, don't go rushing about doing things, just take it steady day at a time. LOL

    Linda, hope you're beginning to feel better and your medication has started to help. LOL

    Maria, I hope your OH tests went well and everything is fine with him. Good luck with your screening its horrible isn't it but only last seconds. A big well done actual weight loss. XX

    We are here in Kenley now until Wednesday afternoon. Once Ciara was washed and dressed this morning it was grandma what can I do ? She wanted to know who ihad birthdays coming up, so she's been on a mission made a birthday cards for Grandpa and Aunty Anne, and an anniversary card for mum and dad. Then we both tried to make a pop-up boxes (cards ) we got there eventually, only kept them plain, next time we will make something and it will be decorated. I hadn't thought to bring any fine wires with me. But now I've got the idea, I think there is hope!!!!!!!

    Its time I started thinking about dinner, so I'll get a result on now. Sending love and hugs for everyone, Brenda XXX

  11. Me again to say I had my lace and metal embellishments parcel from the craft channel, not much lace so am a little disappointed. Would anyone like some metal owls? I have several packets and I'm not into owls, so if anyone would like some I'll post them on, no charge, Lilian
