Funky Friday Challenge Time

This weeks sketch challenge was set by Rosina


Here is my card. I think that Vintage Vogue is becoming one of my favourite stamp sets. It is really versatile - amazing what you can do with one set. it has the added advantage of having a co-ordinating wheel. The colours I have used are retiring exept for Elegant Eggplant and will be quite sad to see them go but on the other hand very excited that we are getting NEW colours.


SUPPLIES
Stamp Sets: Vintage Vogue, Very Vintage Wheel
Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Mellow Moss, Pale Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Pale Plum, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories: Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon, Ice Rhinestone brads, Frost shimmer paint

The flowers have been done with the rock 'n' roll technique. Ink up with a lighter colour first then roll the stamp around the edges on a darker colour.

Click here to see what the rest of the team came up with. It would be great if you would join in the challenge.

I am off to a workshop this morning for a friend and then will spend the rest of the day preparing for my BIG Stampin' Up! Day in Elie, Fife. If you know anyone in the East Neuk, let them know about my day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Funky Friday - Yummy Theme Challenge

This weeks challenge was set by Kelly and to have the theme of CHOCOLATE.



Here is my card. It is CASEd on a card by an American Stampin' Up Demonstrator called LeeAnn Greff. I found her blog when I was blog hopping the other night - click here to visit her blog and really liked her style. It kind of reminds me of a Boden shirt I have too. I used the Chocolate theme and have included a hint of strawberry! No stamping either.


SUPPLIES
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Scallop edge punch, Chocolate Chip grosgrain, gold elastic, Earth Elements and Neutrals buttons

Click here to see what the rest of the team came up with. It would be great if you would join in the challenge.

My youngest son had his first session at Playgroup this week and he loved it - I had my first 2 hours of alone time in ages and didn't know what to do with myself. I did get to have a lovely cup of HOT tea in peace though.

It is just me and the boys this weekend as David is off to Edinburgh for a Stag Night! Theo is going to an art class on Sunday morning so that should hopefully be fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

I was forwarded a link to this template by Dawn and I rather like it.

It reminds me of Ness tartan, which some of you will know I am a HUGE fan.

Would love to kow what you think of the revamp.
