Sketchbook365 challenge

Howdy, I am just squeezing this one in for the sketchbook365 challenge. It has been good and bad weather here - good because it has been raining A LOT which means nothing for it but to scrap, and bad because it is also very overcast so lousy to take photos lol. Anyway the sun has just popped its head out so have tried to take a couple of quick pics. 

 Still not great for the colours but hey, not the end of the world. As you can tell from the heading, (if you can read it) I could be in trouble if they ever see this but I never actually agreed so technically I am not breaking any promises. Please don't tell :)
Have a great day & thanks for popping by..Jx

CAS-ual Fridays challenge #110

OMGosh, think I may have just found the perfect challenge blog for me :) Over at CAS-ual Fridays it is all about clean & simple - just how I like it. This week you have to have a number or numbers so have used this cute little balloon from stampin up and the happy birthday stamp is an oldie but a goodie from hero arts

Sorry the colours aren't brilliant in the photo - the green is a pearlescent lime green.

My 1st challenge for the month...

surprise, surprise my first challenge completed for July is for Scrapfriends. Have I mentioned before how much I enjoy their challenges! *grin* I got cracking on this one almost immediately but then didn't get back to my craft desk for nearly 2 days :o

I actually started out with the sketch the right way but wasn't feelin' the love from the 3 small photos so flipped it completely. Here is the sketch & the link

Hope you are having a terrific day. Thanks for popping by..Jx

Oh, the possibilities... - Scrapfriends colour challenge #14

Hiya,
my mojo has been taking a small holiday the last couple of weeks but is home now with this little offering. It didn't start out for a challenge but the colours just kind of hopped onto the page and I remembered seeing this challenge from Scrapfriends. LOVE their challenges so much, they just really appeal to me. So anyhoo...here it is

 here is the colour palette & the link to scrapfriends

Thanks for popping by. Have a great day...Jx

sketchabilities #92 - U2R crazy

Back again with my lo for the sketchabilites challenge. Don't you just love the way kids are not afraid to be silly. That said, I am sure my two, particularly my son, would be very embarrassed if he know I was sharing this hehe...

You can't really see it in the photo but there is also some gesso stencilled on to add some texture.
Here is the original sketch & I pretty much stuck to it this time :)

Have a great weekend...Jx

I don't normally post more than once a day....

but I am a bit excited today. I have just got my first ever pair of glasses :D Not sure if they make me look more intelligent but wow wee, the computer sure is a lot sharper today lol!
