Getting Sketchy on Bellarific Friday

My Gosh! Is it Friday already? I can't believe how quickly the days are rolling by..sometimes I wish time would slow down and at other times, I'd love to speed it up just a little. This week I could by a few extra hours.....my plate (er probably platter) is quite full and I feel like I'm racing like the wind to keep up. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will have a little more energy next week!

For this weeks sketch, I used Flynn's Berry Happy Day

Ian't she pretty?

Markers used

Strawberries: YR23, R10, R2, GY43, 47

Skin: YR26, R131, RP7

Dress: BR109, Y169

Make sure you head on over to Blogabella to see the fine creations and get next weeks challenge, which is called Sizzlin' Summer!

Mwah!

For Dad

Father's Day will be upon us this weekend. I have a few cards to make and took the opportunity to get started by playing in the Splitcoast Colour Challenge Yesterday

I used  the Journal your art out Grungy set from Stamping Bella to create this masculine card. 

There are all sorts of fun stamps in here that would work great with cards as well as in a journal

The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life All4Dads

My Dad is generally a happy and hard working guy. Sadly, he tore a tendon in his knee and has been "grounded" for the last few weeks, which is extremely frustrating for him. His mobility has been great affected and having to spend the day between the den and the bedroom is not his cup of tea.

Of course this is affecting Sydney too as she is used to her daily truck ventures and "working" right along with Grandpa.

He seems to be mending slowly, but surely and I pray that he is up and on his feet again soon!

More Inky Fun with Benson!

I {Heart} Benson Bear~ He's so cute with his fuzzy paws over his face. Today he's embarrassed because he forgot a Birthday, but he could be shy or playing Peekaboo!

I teamed Benson up with Huckleberry Pond Designer Papers from The Paper Loft

Here's the inside!

Gotta Love those Inky Antics Stamps!

I'm having fun with my guest spot this month

Happy Stamping!

Impression Obsession Challenge-Bloom where you are planted

Good Morning!

As you can see, I was in a "summery" mood whilst creating this card

Wishful thinking perhaps as its been a touch cool here this week!

This weeks challenge is a floral challenge......I used Sea Grass instead of flowers, but do have the flower pot (Summer Pot Large)!!! In addition to these two stamps, I also used this gorgeous Sand dollar  on my background and the sentiment can be found here

Quiet as a Mouse, but squeaking out some news!

Me, quiet? Well sometimes!!! I've been fairly quiet on the blog as I've been busy working on samples for Inky Antics

I was so excited when Jackie asked me to be their Guest Designer for June!!

They have the sweetest line of adorable and Whimsical Stamps, so many, that I had a difficult time deciding which one's to work with this month!

I absolutely could NOT resist sewing mouse and many stitiches!

I would tell you all about the cards, but Jackie has done a wonderful job of describing the project and introducing MOI!!! 

She also has BLOG CANDY
