Hi Everyone,

Tomorrows Rememberance Day, it's time for us to think of others and what they gave up for us, and still continue to give up for us.  To think of those less fortunate then ourselves, I will be observing the 2 minute silence thinking of these things.

Talking about Rememberance Day, it was so good to see that Just Inspirational Challenges and Cute Card Thursday have Challenges about it.

Sketch Saturday - Week #175

Hi ya Everyone,

I've been meaning to post this one, but never got round to it, good job it's before Saturday.  Been busy today, as I went to my Stroke meeting, I met someone new and to here his story was fantastic, it's hard to believe people's story's can be so different to mine.  Again blew my mind.

Well this card is for Sketch Saturday, so I need to get on with it, here's my card:

The Image is from The Stamping Boutique, it was a freebie, fantastic!!!  I coloured it in used my Pro-markers, finished off with a little bit of snow and Glitter!!!  The Design Papers I can't remember where I got those from as they came out of my Stash.  The Sentiment came from Kanban, as did the Pearls.

You can see the snow that I put around the window, and the glitter on the candle, and also the lovely felt snowflakes in the corner.

I would like to enter this in Sketch Saturday - Week #175

Well I had better go

Bye x x

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - Challenge # 91

Hi Everyone,

Wow!!!  It's amazing, actually your all amazing, I have never seen so many entries.  In my eyes your all winners of the challenge, but 3 had to picked.  Congratulations to the 3.

And so on with the next Challenge, this Challenge is all about those hard cards you have to make, for example male birthday, sympathy and good luck.  The ones you have to make at the last minute.

Well our sponsor this time is The Stamping Boutique, they are a company which provides Digi Stamps as well as Stamps can be brought and sent to you.  Go over to their website, your get hooked, I know this for a fact as I did.

And onto my Card:

The Image I used was one from The Stamping Boutique, it is basically one like Noah's Ark.  I coloured it in with Polychromo Pencils then blended it together with Sansodor, and I finished it off with the odd dab of Glitter!!!  The Design Papers I used were from Create and Craft, it doesn't say what it is but looking at it, it looks like it's paper for a baby girls. I then added a Patch with a Giraffe on it, I have to say it came from my Mum, and was in my Craft Box.  I think it looks fantastic. 

I then added 2 Ribbons to the card, and to the bottom Ribbon I added 3 Buttons.

Now its your turn to create a card / project.

But one thing you must remember ................. HAVE FUN!!!
