Back To Work

It's Sunday evening and I'm back to work tomorrow, it doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since I started my 2 week holiday. I'm trying not to think about the fact that I have no holiday left now until next year as it makes me feel really sad.

I've been so busy in the last 2 weeks, firstly with sorting the house and doing some redecorating with the hubby and secondly trying desperately to make cards for the fair. I still have tons to do and am going to have to fit it in after work and the weekends. I know in my last post I said I was going to hopefully enter a challenge, well that never happened.

I do however have a picture of a card I made tonight for my brother in laws son, Ben who is 13 next week. I'm not that great with boys/mens cards but I found a cute stamp set at my local craft shop yesterday with a football theme and knew that it would be perfect. The set was made by Stamp-IT and has 3 images and 2 sentiments on the sheet. The backing paper I used was from a Forever Friends paper pad and I used red card for the layering as Ben is a Liverpool FC supporter. I used Pro Markers to color the image in and a glitter gel pen for the stars.

















So now I have my post done I'm heading to bed, I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day, especially since I'm working right through until 6pm.

2 Challenges in 1 card

It took a while to get some inspiration going today and I have only managed 1 card, I am however entering it into 2 different challenges.

1, Sketch Saturday
2, Alphabet Challenge

Both challenges gave me the final inspiration, Sketch Saturday as the name suggests gave me the layout (A Sketch) for the card and the Alphabet Challenge blog gave me the theme (M is for Men).

















For the card I used a stamp from Stamp-IT, a company I haven't seen much of until I happened upon this cool looking scooter at my local craft shop and decided to add it to my collection. I coloured it with Pro Markers and found some scraps of paper with a brown and blue color. I used part of a circle nestability die to cut a circle into the bottom left of the main background, this kind of reminds of the shape of a wheel trim.

Have to go as hubby has dinner waiting.
