Penguin in Love x

Afternoon lovelies! It's Friday, so it's time for a new sketch over at the Friday Sketch Challenge and this week, it's a fab one from Kelly. I've rotated it to make my card cos the image was the other way round....

Ingredients:

Image - Digistamp Boutique coloured with Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers (I'm a big fan of mixing 'em up lately!)

Papers - Freebies from a magazine (again!)

Sentiment - Computer generated.

Dies/Punches - Spellbinders Fancy Oval and Scalloped Oval Nesties, Memory Box Snowflake, Cuttlebug Vintage Corner dies and various snowflake punches.

Other - Whitewash Coredinations (love this stuff!!) and Shimmer Dots from stash.

Sorry that the picture quality's not that great - I forgot to take a pic before I gave it to my Mum and Dad (from my son) and so I had to take it with my iphone at their house - I'll try and get a better one at some point if I get the chance.
It's actually quite funny if you read the post over at Friday Sketch Challenge cos reading it sounds exactly like me!! We're right on top of Christmas now and as usual, I've been working til the last minute to get all my cards made - I've even had to.....buy a couple this year (shock, horror LOL!!!) I too will be making a new year's resolution to 'be more organised with my crafting' - and you may have noticed that over the last couple of months, my posting has been a bit erratic - I have had a lot going on, which I won't bore you with but another NY resolution is definitely to get back to my blogging best and I'm going to use the relaxing time over the holidays to catch up with you all.
Right, I'd better go, been bleating on for long enough methinks. I'm all excited about tomorrow cos we're going ice skating, which I love (although not been for ages, so keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't break anything!!!??) Back soon....................xx

One Sketch, Two Ways

Evening peeps! Inspired by my lovely blogging buddy, Nic over at Coops Cluttered Corner, who has recently done a couple of posts where she's used one stamp, three ways, etc. I thought I would have a go and do one sketch, two ways....here's the sketch, from the Paperminutes challenge blog:

And there you go! What d'you think? Which ones your fave? Well, I'm off to watch the end of 'Made in Chelsea'. Does anyone else watch it? Some of them are so posh, it's funny and Spencer (who was also on the Batchelor - not that I watched it!!) is the biggest slimey, weasely greaseball ever!!!!! Do you get the impression I don't like him much?!? Ha, ha. Thanks for popping over to 'see' me. Bye for now..................xx
