DS109 ~NEW BABY~

I have a quick and easy card to share this week for DS109.

The cute onesie die is from The Greeting Farm.

Jen's sketch is awesome as usual.

I'm so sorry for my short post this week. My beautiful sister in law, Lisa,  passed away very unexpectedly this week and we are all devastated. Hubby has travelled to Canada, where she lived with her Canadian husband and their 7 year old little girl. I've stayed at home with the 5 kiddos and I really don't have the mental or physical power to be very creative.

Anyhow, please check out the DT creations if you have time. The links are in my sidebar. And don't forget to join in and link up to Jen's blog.

A STAR WARS DS108

Hi there all. 

My kiddies are on midyear school holidays at the moment and it is lovely to have them all home.

Number one daughter is enjoying every minute of her Boston trip and leaves for New York today where she will get to celebrate Independence Day.

This week's sketch was designed by the lovely Joni.

Here is my card.......

The image is a Saturated Canary digital image, and the papers are October Afternoon. I even had a play with a new (to me anyway) product called frontage, thanks to the lovely Alyce Keegan for the inspiration.  My nephew turns ten tomorrow and is somewhat obsessed with all things Star Wars so I hope he likes his card!

Here is Joni's awesome sketch. I think I followed it exactly this week. Thanks Joni.

BON VOYAGE ~DS107~

Tomorrow we say  farewell to our gorgeous 17 year old daughter. She's bound for Boston on a year 11 school trip for the best part of two weeks. We are all going to miss her so much.

So today my Deconstructed Sketch card is for her.....

I've used  a Saturated canary digi image and October Afternoon Travel Girl papers and stickers. The paper even has New York written on it, so of course I had to make sure not to cover it up.

Here's Jen's awesome sketch....

I think i'll use it again tomorrow to make hubby an anniversary card. 21 years tomorrow!

Please take the time to show the DT some love...

IT'S MY SKETCH ~DS106~

Every now and then the awesome Jen from the Deconstructed Sketch asks her DT girls to design a sketch and guess what? Yes, , today is my day, so I really hope you like it.

Firstly, here is my card.

It is for my new little niece. The image is a saturated canary digi. I kept the rest of my card fairly plain as I wanted to keep the image as the focus (and I was also in a rush)

And here is my sketch.

I really do hope that you like it. Thank you so much Jen for allowing me to design this week's sketch.

Below are the DT links. Lori and Amber are sitting out this week.

DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH #105

Hi there, I can't quite believe it's Thursday already, time for another Deconstructed sketch!

I used an older Lalaland digi stamp and colored her in copics. The papers are all doodlebug, and I have used lots of yummy MFT dies this week.

Jen's sketch is awesome as always.

CALENDAR CATCH UP

At a retreat I was lucky enough to attend recently, I decided to catch up on a few months of my 6x6 calendar.

I wasn't going to tell you which month it is, but it's in the photo! oops!

I've used one of my fave Saturated Canary digi images and colored it in copic markers.

I've been watching the awesomely-talented Alyce's youtube videos (her link is in my sidebar). This time I've given clouds, grass and pleats a go. I'm still learning, but I hope you like it.

Oh, and the matt is purple, not black. I seem to have trouble photographing cards that have a white base. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for stopping by.

DS # 104

Hi there.

I'm here with this week's Deconstructed Sketch to share.

I used a Saturated Canary rubber stamp from LDRS and colored her up in ladybird colours.

I struggled a little to find matching papers after coloring her, so I'm not entirely happy, but I'm sure my soon to be 8 year old niece won't mind at all.

So here's Jen's fab sketch......

I flipped it left to right but other than that kept it pretty much exact this week.
