Side by side forever

Good afternoon, today I am sharing a card I have made for a new challenge blog 'FETCH A SKETCH'.  I love sketch challenges so was really pleased to find a new one to play along with.

My card is an anniversary card for my husband, I hope he appreciates the humour.  The image is 'Side by Side', one of the Meet the Gleanies range from Joanna Sheen, I've coloured it using ProMarkers.  I've had these stamps hanging around for a while now (where have I heard that before!) and never found a use for them.

I used my lovely new Beach Bum papers from Fancy Pants layered onto core'dinations card stock.   To embellish my card I stamped and coloured a couple of extra hats and added some buttons from my stash.  Full details of everything I have used are detailed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Taekwondo Boy

I've made this card for my son's birthday, he is really into Taekwondo and Korean Kick Boxing at the moment and I thought this little image from LOTV would be just right.  I coloured the image with ProMarkers and used purple core'dinations card stock because his belt is currently purple with a gold stripe.  I have followed Donalda's sketch over on this weeks LOTV Challenge.

I used my Spellbinders Large Pinking Circles to cut the image, mat, sentiment and corners.  I first saw these dies over on Edna's blog 'Another day, another card', they're really good for male cards.  I stamped the sentiment onto core'dinations card stock and had to emboss it to make it show up, unfortunately it hasn't photographed very well.  All of the edges have been distressed and to finish I added some buttons from my stash.  Full details of everything I have used are detailed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to match the front.

You Brighten My Day

I really am cutting it fine tonight, this is my card for the Sketch Saturday Challenge which closes tonight.  I have chosen the Teddy Bea image 'When you wish upon a star' and teamed it up with some First Edition papers.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have added several die cut stars as embellishments and edged everything in gold.  The tag is an idea that I got from Bente's DT card.  The inside of my card is decorated to complement the front.

Flutterby Winnie

I'm a bit late tonight, been having loads of problems inserting images on blogger, I don't think I'm alone there!

However, at last it would appear that I have succeeded so this is another card using the gorgeous Winnie Owl images from my Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD by Polka Doodles and Willow Designs.  I just love the pastel colours of these images and printable Kraft papers.

This card is my entry for the Polka Doodles Challenge - All of a Flutter.

I'm sure you've noticed it's rather 'pink' and girlie which is a little unusual for me.  I added some die cut and glittered butterflies to tie in with the 'All of a Flutter' theme.

And I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

So Sweet!

This is the card I have made to enter into the Willow Sketchie Challenge.  I was looking around my favourite blogs trying to find some inspiration when I found this challenge on CLAIREBEARS blog, thank you Clairebears.

I've had the 'Double Sprinkles of Kraft' CD by Polka Doodles and Willow Designs since it launched but have not got around to using it, where have I heard that before!  The lovely little Winnie images are drawn by Sharon Armstrong who is the designer and owner of Willow Designs.  I just love these images, check out all the fantastic things over at http://www.willowdesignstamps.com/.

I have used an image and backing papers from my Double Sprinkles of Kraft CD and followed this weeks sketch.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

Me and my Guitar

This is my card for this weeks LOTV Challenge – Bring on The Music.  I love these new boy stamps and to tie in with the music theme I have chosen to use 'Playing Guitar', I'm not quite sure if the little dog is singing along or howling - let's hope he's singing!

I used my BoBunny ' U Bug Me' papers and die cut and ribbled some little stars for embellishments, I find it so difficult to find things to embellish boy's cards.  The music sheet is from an old set of Hunkydory papers.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Yum! Yum!

Good evening all, I'm a bit late with my card tonight but I got here in the end.  This is the card I've made for my Dad for Father's Day, he has an allotment and has a constant battle with rabbits and mice eating everything he plants, so I think this image is quite apt.

The image is from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse 'Spring is Mice' collection, I just love these little mice and all the antics they get up to.  I made the sentiment tag by tracing a label shape and cutting it in white card and then backing it with the same orange core'dinations card stock I have used to mat the image and backing papers.  I had to mask the stamp and stamp it in two halves because it was in one long strip and I wanted it to fit into the tag that I had made.  Full details of everything I have used are listed blow.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Papers:  DCWV 'The Green Stack'

Tools:  Spellbinders Borderabilities 'Ric Rac Diamond Border', Ribbler

Embellishments: buttons and raffia from stash

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
