All the papers and the topper are from the cd's and there are lots of other quick and easy toppers just like this one - great for making cards with the kids!
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Everything you see on the card with the exceptions to the dots is from the download. I've followed the Sketch and Stash sketch - the new stuff is the download and the old is the splodgy dots as its ancient Anita's 3d paint! Hence the dodgy splodges!
I've made the card using all paper elements from the cd's plus the cupcake topper. I've decoupaged the cupcake and added glitter glue and glossy accents. The tiny stars have been made with a punch.
The edges of all panels and the card have been dotted with liquid pearls and I've used ribbon from my stash. Watch out for another peek at the cd soon!
For my creation, I've made a double wobble card! It wobbles from side to side (well, rocks really) and the actual image is on a spring so he really does wobble! Kyle Karate is a new release for July and he's been coloured with Promarkers. Both my boys have martial arts lessons and both loved this image!The paper is from Funky Hand - Craft The Year Away cd along with the wobble card template. The letters have been cut from silver card with my Sizzix Round-a-Bout alphabet and the two silver stars are table confetti.
All the papers I found in my box of left overs and are a mix of Funky Hand and Polkadoodles. The image has been layered onto some pearlescent paper which was a recent generous donation from Lynsey!
The ribbon and flowers and brads are all from my stash and I was glad to be able to use some of the orange brads as I seem to have quite a few left from a mixed pack! I've used the Sweet Stop Sketch for inspiration:

For our first challenge there will be two winners. For more details on the challenge please go to the Fetch A Sketch challenge blog.
The sketch that we are asking you to follow is: 
You can rotate it, flip it, resize it and add embellishments or a sentiment where ever you want, just as long as we can see the elements of the sketch.
For my examples - I've made some teacher thank you cards for Samuel's teachers (how organised am I?!) and I've used elements and papers from Sundae of Seasons from Polkadoodles. These are quite small cards and all are from one sheet of A4 card. I've doodled a faux stiched line around the edge of the card and layers.
The little apple I have decoupaged and added glossy accents to the pips. The little dots are made with 3d Anita's paint and the 'string' is plastic - a bit like the strawberry lace sweets!
Good luck with the challenge - for more details please visit the challenge blog and enter your creation via the blue frog. Closing date for entries is 12noon GMT on Sunday 10 July and the two winners will be announced on Monday 18 July. You can use any of your stash and there is no limit on the number of challenges you can enter.

All the papers including large topper and sentiment are from the Tea's Up download - I've simply layered up the topper and sentiment, added a wobbly doodle, inked edges and added some buttons! The button twine is from The Ribbon Girl and I can see me getting some more of this as its fab!
This is quite a titchy card - about 10cm square so don't think that my buttons are huge ones!
I've followed the wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch (always great for inspiration and making a card come alive!)
I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card and the sentiment is computer generated and I've used some Safmat from Letraset which, despite looking daunting to use on the packet was really simple! I've followed the current sketch from Digi Doodles Shop's Best:

The ribbons are from my stash and were a perfect length to tie a big bow at the top!
The title says it all really! I've coloured her in pinks cos she is still a lady despite the omissions plus a little glitter glue. I've made a voluptuous throne room doorhanger from papers by Funky Hand - Craft The Year Away and the shape is all my own doing! I drew round various rolls of tape to make the circles. The hole has been cut with a Nesties and I've recycled it as a tag and attached the sentiment 'Made With Love Especially For You'.The ribbon and paper rose is from a recent generous donation from Lynsey (yep - its all tidied away!) I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the door hanger and inked the edges.

I've coloured the poppies with Promarkers and added glossy accents to the centres. The sentiment has been stamped with a little Studio G alphabet stamp set and I've added a faux stitched border around the edges.
Red organza and satin ribbon is from my stash and I've tied some button twine in from The Ribbon Girl.
Stunning - don't you agree?!
I've used a sheet of Debbie Mumm's Nursery Rhyme 6.5 x 4.5 glittered stack for the actual dungarees and also added a faux running stitch around the edges with a blue gel pen. The buttons are from my stash and the button twine is from The Ribbon Girl. The pocket has been added with an off cut and is on foam pads.
I decided to alter an address book that had a rather horrid cover and have used papers and the little house digi stamp is from the workspace section of Colour Me Happy which has been coloured with Aquamarkers. I've used a Nestie for the shape and have dotted liquid pearls around the edge.
I also decided to use the sketch to make a new house card. Papers are from the Salt and Pepper download and the image is from Dreams Come True. The ribbon and tiny key charm are from my stash.
Good luck with the challenge - for more details go to Get Funky and the deadline is 14 July.
The papers are off-cuts from making a wedding wordbook and are from the I Do! Wedding download from Funky Hand. I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the fancy bits and dotted liquid pearls in the spaces. All the flowers are from Hobbycraft and are a fairly recent purchase. The ribbon I found in my stash and was just the right size! I've made the hat pin with some faux pearl beads from a necklace I bought in a charity shop with the intention of chopping it up and using the elements. 
I've coloured them with Promarkers and added a faux running stitch around the edges with a fineliner black pen. All the buttons are from my stash and the button twine is from The Ribbon Girl as I won a recent Penny Black Saturday challenge and they were the sponsor! Really quick delivery and great communication from them too!

The helicopter is attached with a strip of acetate and helps to support the card with its 'feet'. Hope you can join in the challenge this fortnight -for more details, please visit the challenge blog! Good luck!
I've added some tiny magnets to the reverse and I've actually pinched them from the front of our freezer door so if Jacob ever finds out I'll be in trouble! The dragonflies actually live on my once rather posh container of very special chocolate powder which is now full of all my buttons!
