Rosie-Dee's Challenge - Week 48

Hello all! Glad you could drop by and join me here.

We're still on our HOLIDAY theme over on Rosie-Dee's Challenge


I love the item that I found to photograph recently in Torre Abbey, Taunton. The blue sky; the clouds, the trees...... but what is it? The reveal is on the blog!

Rosie-Dee's Challenge - Week 47

BEACH!!!!! That was the theme this week over on Rosie-Dee's Challenge Blog. I trawled back through holiday photos to find this one of Jacob & Freya on the Isle of Wight a few years back - sorry kids! HAHA! I wanted to keep my colours simple... sand & sea so I altered the photograph to a sepia tone as Freya's wearing the brightest pink cozzie you've ever seen!

Mulberry paper: Stash.
Ribbon: QVC Outlet (Thanks Elaine!)

Rosie-Dee's Challenge - Week 46

The month of August sees the theme of HOLIDAYS. I've already had mine; a wonderful time spent with hubby and our fabulous children and the dog came too! (Wet dog on many occasions as well as soggy humans but we don't smell as bad HAHA!!)

Dee came up with this month's sketch for us. I've set myself a challenge to run along side that I will create a 6"x12" scrapbook page for every theme this month. I've been neglecting the old scrapping for a bit; tending to concentrate on making my cards more recently.



I used the sketch on the top of my page which you can see a closer up of here:


We're members of English Heritage and had a lovely day out at Dartmouth Castle. Will and Maisy went for a long walk along the coastal path as dogs aren't allowed in. The views are fantastic; the history is amazing! Well worth a visit if you're ever down that way.

Materials:
Cardstock: Bazzill Swiss Dots.
Paper: My Minds Eye - Wild Asparagus.
Flower: Prima.
Tape: I can't remember the manufacturer, sorry!
Ribbons: Ribbon Mad.
Leather heart: Shoe tag!
Button: Stash.
Envelope: Dinner money envelope - poundshop.

Inspirational Card Sketches

Catching up showing you my entries on the DT for Inspirational Card Sketches from the last two weeks as we've enjoyed a wonderful (though very wet and windy) holiday in Devon. We barely and rarely had a mobile phone signal even though Will and I are on two different networks let alone thinking I'd ever get an internet connection where we were!

This weeks sponsor was Digiments. It's a wonderful idea... digital stamps! Great for using in Digi projects or for printing out as I've done and attaching to cards and layouts. They have some wonderful greetings available too.

ICS #28 4th August 2009
Dream Designs was our fabulously generous sponsor this week and we were given a sketch with the theme of Christmas to follow. It's only round the corner you know folks. Better get a wriggle on if I want to be ready and prepared this year!

Dawn always manages to secure some fantastic sponsors

Materials:
White pearlescent 15cm card blanks
#27 - Offcuts of black, pink, purple and white cardstocks from stash; Fiskars 'clouds' scissors; Digiments sentiment; Ribbon; Prima flowers; brads.
