Fetch A Sketch Challenge 50

Monday morning (already) so its time for a new Fetch A Sketch challenge!  The sketch is a nice and easy one:

And we are sponsored by the very cute Jellypark!  The winner of the sketch will get to choose from the store two digi's of their choice.

And here is what I came up with.  I've used the cute Typewriter digi image which I've coloured with Promarkers.  I've used a kraft card blank which I've shaped the corners and added a faux stitch around the edges.

The newspaper print is actually a vintage car magazine from December 1935!  I've glued it to a panel and then scrunched it a little before the glue dried.  The image sits inside the card on the aperture I cut with a Nestie die and again I covered this with the magazine.

And three half pearls finish off the card!  Good luck with the challenge and for more details, pop over to Fetch A Sketch!

Moving Along With The Times:  Clean and Simple
Crafting For All Seasons:  Monochromatic

This Is How I Learnt To Type!

Here we go, late as usual with the first of the two new release digi stamps from Jellypark:

This one is called (appropriately enough!) typewriter.  And I've coloured it with Promarkers and some liquid pearls.  It reminds me so much of the totally ancient and weighing a tonne typewriter that I learnt to type on at school.  No, I'm not that old, just the equipment was and it was in the early days of word processors.  Yeah, I probably am showing my age now!

Papers are from Echo Park - Be Mine digital paper pack and I've added some very fine sparkly thread and half pearls from my stash.  As you can see I'm trying to be very good and use up scraps!

We've had a rather exciting weekend - Jacob set his fastest lap time yesterday in the Formula Bambino round and came 4th overall - not yet on the podium but he's close!  And then today, Samuel knocked a very impressive 0.5 seconds off his fastest lap time which actually broke the track record or it would have done if it had not been broken just a few minutes earlier by another driver!  Samuel is actually the second quickest driver on the track beating other Cadets, Juniors and adults - not bad for a nearly 9 year old!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

One Stitch At A Time:  Anything Goes
Challenge Up Your Life:  Anything Goes
Crafty Catz:  Anything Goes
Art Impressions Stamps:  Any Sentiment

Typewriter and Procreating Washing

I've had a pretty productive day today. Crafting and housework. I've managed to get a head start on some of my Design Team commitments, or at least they are started (I have around 7 projects on the go at any one time!) plus I've managed to almost catch up on the HUGE amount of washing. There was only one day this last week that I didn't do any washing and I swear it reproduces on its own!

Six loads washed and almost dried with a further 2 to do; anyone would think there was more than 4 of us in this household.....

Anyway. I managed to get the card completed for the Tiddly Inks challenge which is:

Refresh Me (or all white card)

Ok, so mine has black on it too, but I guessed that with the image being black to start with, I was allowed otherwise how would you see it. See - method in my madness! It's a Tiddly Inks image which I have been itching to use and now I can as I need to send a letter (yes a letter - not an email!) as I forgot in the run up to Christmas and as the recipient is a card maker too I feel she will appreciate it!

I've used my trusty Studio G mini wooden alphabet stamps for the wording, Nesties for the layered shapes. And a confession. I didn't leave enough space for a spine to the card and ended up cutting two shapes. Hence the eyelets and black ribbon tie!

Everything is from my stash as off-cuts and I've used a Cuttlebug embossing die for one of the layers. A quick card to make but it still took me 4 days to finish it! Good job its already late as not sent before Christmas!
