New Award....

Joanne
aka Bubbles had this award

and was passing it onto everyone.

As I didn't have this one on my slide

on the right hand side.

I decided to add it to my blog,

I know Joanne is a regular visitor to my blog.

So I hope it was ok that I shared it out.

Now I need to think of who I would like to pass this on to,

I don't know how many people to pass this onto so I choose :
Sally
Jo
Frances
Claire
Bumble

I hope you all like your award, cos I do love your blogs!

I have been creative and clever!

I know that title sounds like I am blowing my own trumpet!

I am a great fan of challenge blogs,

loving the sketches we get a chance to play with.

My main problem was, I couldn't always remember

how a sketch was done. I had to keep going to the computer to

look. (big problem if it was being used by someone else!)

So I decided to make use of a book I had waiting to be altered,

by decorating the front.

Pictured below, and then hand draw each sketch into

this book for personal use when I wanted a sketch to follow.

Here is a close up of the front cover,

another big love of mine a Tilda stamp.

Of course I had to use a sketch on the front too.
This is a Saturday sketch #3
One I never had the chance to use in time for the
challenge blog.

With added ribbons to make it look even better!
Inside are the sketches that I really like and

will use again and again.

The ones I know who designed them will have

the name added with it so each time I use it I can then

tell everyone who it was designed by.

One sketch per page gave me room to show

it in detail as to how the sketch worked.

I know you probably wonder why i didn't just print them out

straight from the computer? My main issue is we

always run out of ink too fast!

Now I have a lovely book full of insperation just for me!

PS:- Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments,

I would be thrilled to know I have inspired others to

do this project too!

Thats the whole idea of showing things on my blog.

I have made an ATC!

Its been a while since I last made some Atc's for any swaps!

But I was inspired to make one for a competition
on the Cardmaking and paper craft forum.

The theme was Snowmen, right up my street

with all my Christmas items surrounding me.

BUT... I can not show you any pictures because,

the voting is done without people knowing who they

vote for.

I Promise to show you when the competition has finished.

This is just a little one I decided to throw together tonight.

Found some Candy...

I found some yummy Candy at Bumble bee Create Blog
Go and check it out...CANDY

Good luck to all who take part!

Paper Take weekly Challenge 'Dawnys sketch #1'

Paper take weekly Challenge,

is to use the sketch below.

I did a close up of this cute little hedghog,

to show the detail in the parcel.

This is a PB stamp, the dots on the paper were coloured

in with glitter gel pen.

Below is the complete card.

I do hope you like my take on such an unusual sketch.

Again I have left a sentiment off, so it will be a useful card in my collection.

Thank you for taking time to look.

Two Birds with one stone ( Card really)

This is for two challenges!

Stamp something Friday, is called 'For the Birds'

So I stamped Tilda with her bird.

The other challenge is for Saturday Sketches Challenge.

Sketch #22

Here is the sketch #22Here is my finished card.

The only thing I havent done is add a sentiment.

I like to have a selection of cards ready for

any reason.
