~New challenge @ feeling sketchy!~

Please forgive me for being so slack posting here lately, but sometimes life just gets in the way!

New sketch over at Feeling Sketchy this week, you have until Monday 6am to link up your fabulous projects! Its a scrapbook sketch, but as you can see, also works as a card sketch and we would love to see your take on it! 

We are sponsored by MMT scrapbooking this month so get your entries linked up to be included in the random prize draw!

Week 9 - Scrapbook Sketch!

And here is my card using some sweet MFT clear stamps, Kaisercraft rhinestones and felt flower stack from my stash. Lavender lace ink and concord crush pattern paper (both Stampin' up) on the right, BG June Bug- picket fence paper on the left.

It would also fit at The Stamp Spot monthly challenge, the spots this month are the colour pink, bling and flowers. Only 2 days left to get your entries in for that one :)

Ok thanks for stopping by, I hope to be back on a more regular basis :)

~Now is right on time~

Found this on facebook and thought I would share as I love it :)

Will be back with my DT card for the current sketch over @ Feeling-sketchy.blogspot.com this week as I found my camera! But got home late and had to do tea and animals and kids and blah blah blah and the sun was gone when I finally found time to photo the cards I have been making!

So please come back tomorrow!!

:)

~a quick card for Cardpatterns sketch 162~

Happy Hello my crafty friends :)

I'm just stopping in with a quick share for the sketch at Card Patterns this week.

I made a card that could be used for mothers day, a mothers birthday or just to say I love you Mum :)

The stamps, ink, ribbon and cardstock are from Stampin' up, rhinestones and die-namics boarder strips are from The Stamp Spot, and the ribbon slider is one of 200 I got on ebay that I was planning to use on some wedding invitations I have been asked to make, but I think they look too cheap (and they were cheap... go figure lol)

So... if anyone can direct me to some heart shaped rhinestone ribbon sliders available to purchase online, please let link me up in the comment section or email me at jesstheodore(at)optusnet(dot)com(dot)au :) reasonable prices too, I'm making around 50 invitations and I want sliders for both invitations and wedding favours for the guests so don't want to over board $ wise :)

I'm also entering my card into the following challenges:
Opus Gluei - Challenge #129 Flourishes
Card Makin' Mamas - Getting Girlie
Craft Us Crazy - #25 Happy Mothers Day and/or Flowers

Ok thanks for stopping in today! xx
