Yet more golf!!

I've used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch for another of the 'golf' cards.  The stamped image was coloured with Promarkers and some of the paper at least is by 'The paper loft,' from a collection called 'Old Town Tavern.'  The blue card is Bazzil, I think.  The sentiment stamp is from SU.

More Golf!

Another birthday card, this time using the Sweetstop sketch.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and the paper came from a really old K & Company 6 x 6 pad.

Golf again!

Another of the six golf themed birthday cards I had to make recently.  For this one I followed the layout on this weeks Friday Sketch challenge and used a Sizzix die to make the golf bag.  The papers are from a really old K & Company 6 x 6 pad called Hampton - very little of it left now. The plain burgundy card is from SU and the kraft card from Annamarie designs.

On my desk this week you will find a couple of golf themed cards - I was asked for 6 of them - so I still have four more to make - it's always more difficult to make something specific I think - I prefer just to make whatever you feel like at the time, just for the fun of it.  The scrapbook album to the right is new - I am intending to work on it between now and October for Mum's 70th birthday - she won't know about it as she doesn't have a computer, so it's quite safe to have it on here.  The decoupage sheets just fell into the basket when I was ordering the album! - they're Tilly Daydream by DoCrafts.  On the left is another piece of oilcloth, waiting to be made up into a bag - I'm getting a bit addicted to making them - I have kept two for myself (a large one and a smaller tote one) and have sold nine.  We were up visiting the 'Famine Village' (Museum type place) in north Donegal last week and called into Dunelm for some interfacing on the way home - well when I spotted this sweetie jar design oilcloth I just had to buy some!  The weather has been so beautiful since, that I haven't done much sewing but went to the beach etc instead.  We're not really used to it being so nice, so we need to make the best of it - 28 degrees yesterday and it was still 22 at midnight last night!Visit Julia's desk HERE to find out what everyone else has been making this week.

Second post today!

It's obvious I'm on holiday, when I manage to do two posts in one day! This one is the first of six golf themed birthday cards I have been asked to make.  For the layout I used next weeks Sweetstop Sketch - I really like this one, so might use it for one of the other cards as well.  The paper I've had for years - it is double-sided and has a graduation theme on the other side and is called College 101 & Dot Flourish, by The Paper Company.  I recently got a new storage system for my 12 x 12 sheets, so I can see what I've got much easier, and so I'm much more likely to use it! The golf ball is a die cut circle embossed with the dotty embossing folder and shaped slightly and the golf club is a Quickutz die.  The stamp is by Creative Stamping and the image has been lightly coloured and shaded using Promarkers.

Mojo Monday birthday

I followed the Mojo Monday sketch to make this birthday card.  The image is an LOTV diecut square and the kraft card is from Annamarie designs.  The flower was made using a couple of punches and the small doily was made using a die.  I had the Happy Birthday ribbon in my stash for ages and it just matched the card perfectly.

Wedding card

A wedding card using this weeks Sketch and Stash layout and a LOTV diecut square.  The paper is from a 6 x 6 Dovecraft pack, called 'Cupcake Boutique'.  The pink pearl heart came from MeiFlower and I used a SU border punch to make the scalloped edge on the pink piece of card.  The lace is from my stash - I've had it for years - it's a great big roll and I use it sparingly!  The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one, cut smaller, by using a circle punch.  I can also enter Papertake Weekly as its 'Anything Goes' with an animal theme.
