sketch # 20

I have sadly neglected everyone lately. I have had so much going on and so little time. But no more excuses here is sketch # 20, a very simple layout which is ideal for Christmas cards, since time is becoming very precious for everyone. I have loved all your creations and I am glad your are enjoying using our sketches. I love all the different styles and techniques, its amazing how a sketch can be interpreted in so many ways.
Have fun with this sketch and please let us see your cards.

SKETCH #19


Hi all, I bet you thought I'd got lost.... Well I'm not lost literally... but lost in a deep pile of cards to be made before the end of the week. So apologies for not getting this sketch on till now. I'm sure you are all looking for some ideas for your Christmas cards and what better place to start than with a sketch. I hope you have fun with this one, I haven't made a card with it yet but when I do I will post it. Thanks for popping in and I hope you will come back again.....

SKETCH # 18





I Just wanted to pop this sketch on for you, it's very simple and is the one I used for this Easel card I did today for a male 16th Birthday . I was very pleased with the result. You can add to it to make it a bit more elaborate if you prefer. Hope you enjoy using my sketches this week. Happy Crafting....


SKETCH #17


Well another week has flown by and I'm sure you've all been busy making your Christmas cards, Ive still got loads to do and I thought this layout would be good for Christmas. I'm scared to look at the calendar to see how close we are, still have loads of shopping to do as well . I've only got a couple of things for my Grandson's so far. There's just never enough hours in the day for me. See you next time, hope you have fun with the sketch.

SKETCH #16 another lovely card from Susie...


Sorry I've been away so long this week just trying to catch up with all my card making for birthday orders and Christmas too, then we had Halloween with my gorgeous Grandson's, who ended up being Ben 10 and the Red Power Ranger.... they looked really fab in their outfits. We also had a fancy dress night out on Sat and I was a Witch!!! Hubby said it wouldn't take me long to get into character....cheeky so and so...lol... just as well I love him to bits.


So as I feel bad about disappearing, I decided that I would put 2 Sketches on the blog this week for you to play with. Hope you enjoy them, keep crafting.....

I made this simple card and realised it would be perfect for a sketch so here it is.
Of course if you use your imagination then this could be turned into something a little more lavish, let me see what you make.

Georgia's card for Sketch #9..


Hello everyone hope you're all having a lovely week, I have another card to show you from the lovely Georgia. She has used Sketch #9. I love how she has used all the earthy colours for this little chap. Glad you enjoyed the sketch Georgia.

Sketch #9v a little strange...



Don't know where this one came from ....lol, I was just thinking about triangles and this happened. I haven't made a card with it yet, to be honest I don't have the time at the moment, so I'm hoping someone will use it and let me see what it looks like made up. It's a bit basic so there's plenty of scope for your own interpretation. Hope you all have a lovely weekend crafting or doing what you enjoy most.
