Janet

Janet has made two fantastic cards for this weeks Sketch challenge, both beautifully stamped, those images are lovely Janet, I think that the lady in the second card looks a little bit like Meghan Markle! (it may just be my eyes)!! lol

Here is Janet's description: 

First Challenge Card I have used a Sheena Douglas 'A little bit sketchy stamp (Nouveau Nature).

Second Challenge Card I have used another stamp in the same Collection called 'Until We Meet Again.

All the papers ect have come out of my 'bit box.

Thank you so much Janet for two lovely cards xxx

 Karen

Karen made two cards for this weeks Challenge, both completely different, your imagination inspires me so much my lovely.

Karen's Description:

My 1st CC:  As you know I run a “birthday club” at work This card is a belated birthday card  The gentleman in question used to work for our team but moved departments and is now back with us -same job just a different boss He was 60 earlier this week and as it’s a milestone one I will get colleagues to sign it and do a collection.

My 2nd CC is a mixture of Hobbycraft dies (Love) Spellbinders dies (the rectangles) and SW (ribbon strip) TL (hearts)
With a little bit of 1st and 2nd generation stamping with a freebie from a magazine!

Two incredible cards Karen, thank you so much for taking part xxx

Lilian

Oh Lilian you have used some more of your Stunning 'Stamperia' papers for your Sketch challenge card this week.  The scene is one I imagine is very familiar to you, living in such a beautiful part of the country. 

The images and embellishments you have used all work together perfectly right down to the 'Nautical style' Bakers Twine.  

Thank you so much for such a lovely card, where do you buy your beautiful papers from please? xxx

Lynda 

Lynda has made two amazing cards for this weeks Sketch Challenge, two very luxurious cards, using some beautiful papers.

Here is Lynda's description: 

Here are my two Challenge cards, both with backing paper from pound shop just matted them first one blue, Second one with burgundy.  

Lynda, I would never have guessed that the papers were from the £1 shop!  Two fantastic cards, thank you so much xxx

Maria

Oh Maria that Bird topper you have used for your Challenge card is so beautiful, such delicate colours and the bird is so pretty.

The background you have used works perfectly, the tiny flowers you have added you like you have fussy cut them, they are the perfect finishing touch.

Thank you so much for taking part, I am so pleased that you liked this sketch. its a good one to keep handy for when we are 'mojo's' take a holiday! xxx

 Michele

Michele has made two gorgeous cards for this weeks Challenge, I can't believe that you are so organised that you have started your Christmas cards already!!

Michele's Description:

Two challenge cards-first one is using Christmas papers from Making Cards magazine, second one is using a Digi download from Ella’s Design.

Thank you so much Michele, that Squirrel is so cute, beautiful matting and layering too! xxx

 Val

Val has made a fabulous card for our challenge this week, I love both the colours and the papers you have used Val, that 'script' paper is beautiful, you have put this card together perfectly, the lady on your topper is stunning.

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely, particularly after struggling with your Sciatica for so long, I really appreciate you making the time to take part. xxx

 Victoria

My lovely friend Victoria has made a card for our Challenge this week, Victoria is a lovely lady that I met through Stampin Up!  

I am so happy that you decided to take part this week Victoria, particularly as you must be exhausted with expecting your first baby and working full time too.  Mind you making cards is a good relaxation therapy, so is good for you!  That means you have to take part every week now! 🤣🤣

Victoria has used some of the Rooted in Nature papers for her card, along with a lovely sentiment and some cute punched flowers topped with pearls.

Thank you so much Victoria, I love sharing your work, please feel free to take part anytime. xxx

Ladies as always I am so grateful to all of you for making time in your busy lives to make cards for our challenge.

I am de-stashing some of my Stampin'Up! stamps, just the ones that I know I won't be using, I was initially just going to put them on a Facebook Selling group, as to be honest  I didn't want to be seen as trying to 'sell' to you all, or making any of you feel like you had to buy.  It was mentioned to me yesterday that I ought to ask you all first, so if any of you are interested I can share the ones  I am selling with you, I can't afford to 'give' them away but they will obviously be heavily discounted.
I want to use the money to buy some new craft stash and replenish my basic bits and pieces.
I am looking forward to trying some new things this year and share them with you along with some new techniques.
Please let me know if you would like to see the stamps/dies I am selling, there is ABSOLUTELY no pressure though, I don't mind either way.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
