Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Challenge #97 - Marie's Sketch and DT Call

Hi Everyone,
Wow!!!  I say to the weather, it is gorgeous outside it's warm as well.  I might go outside and sort my Mum's planting out.  But first, I must tell you about the Card I am going to post.  First, I found Sunday Sketch and Stamp, then I decided to make a Get Well Card for my Mum's next door neighbour, he has been so kind to my Mum and me.  He has a bad heart and on Tuesday he went in to hospital and he two stents put into his main artery to his heart.  He has since been round to my Mum's and told her that if there is anything that needs doing he will do it. He's so lovely, my Mum told him he is not to do anything, so I thought I would make him a Card.
So here it is:

Sketches by Carly - Challenge #51 - Bugaboo Digi Stamps

Hi Everyone,
We've got snow again!!!  So OK it's mixed in with lots of rain, but the snow is here, it won't last though.  I am very well, how are you doing???  Lots of things to do today, like cleaning, but hey, I never managed it I got too involved in making a card, much more important, I think!!!
Well, I was searching through the blogs this morning and I came across Sketches by Carly.  They are fantastic, and it makes it more fabulous because Carly is only 13 and saving up for her college fund.  She is doing this by opening a on-line Shop called Carly' Digi Shop, she does the most fantastic sketches, which are all her own work.  I thought it was really, really clever and so had to take part, and to make a card for this one I had too buy one of her fabulous Digi's.  This fortnight her Sketch was like this:

And so it's on with mine:

Ready - Teddy - Go Challenge - Challenge #8 - 'It's a Wrap'

Hi Everybody,
How are you today???  I am fine, well I've actually gone to my Stroke Meeting this morning (this is scheduled so hopefully, it will appear), I wonder what we're do there today, and I wonder who'll be there today.
Well, it's the 1st of the month, gosh isn't the year going fast already, and that means there's another Challenge to Ready-Teddy-Go.
Before I go into details on the new Challenge, I have to thank all of you for working so hard to put your entries in to last months Challenge, they were all totally gorgeous.  I really hope the Winner (picked at Random) enjoys  the prize, please check the Ready-Teddy-Go blog to see if it was you.
Lets get back to this months Challenge, it's called "It's a Wrap".  Now it sounds like a Hollywood film set doesn't it but not this time ... this is a challenge which is inspired by packaging.  Marketing companies worldwide are paid a small fortune to come up with striking and alluring packaging to make us part with our hard earned cash.  Colour schemes and eye catching logos aren't just thrown together so . . . I would like to challenge folk to take their favourite product colour scheme and use it to make a card.  As long as the Image is a Teddy Bear.
It's time to see what I came up with for "It's a Wrap", and here it is:

This is based around the packaging of Diet Pepsi, I thought I'd do this as I drink it nearly everyday!!!
