July Sketch Challenge

Welcome to my July challenge – I hope you are not too busy with sunny activities to do a bit of scrapping? 

To join in my challenge just use the sketch as your starting point and see where your inspiration takes you! Put a link here and I'll visit your blog. My favourite linked page will win a scrapbooking kit.

Lots of lovely linkies to last month’s challenge and I have chosen this page by Lindsay – I love how the stitched circles look like ripples from the rowers’ oars.

Happy scrapping!

Beat the Christmas Rush June

Christmas Card tally to date 22

This month I have made some cards using Cricut cut gingerbread men and I also cut some felt ones using my Big Shot. I’m not sure how clearly you can see the cards, but each has a little recipe card for making gingerbread. If I really get my act together yea right! I will make some edible ones to give with the cards and the felt tree hanger to make a card and little gift in one.

Beat the Christmas Rush has moved to Krafty Karen’s blog. Please do pop over there and have a look and maybe join in the linky, too.

Sketch Challenge June 1st - June 30th

Good morning and welcome to my June sketch challenge. Is anyone else having problems using Live Writer? I cannot get it to link to my blog so this post is having to be composed using Blogger which is not good news. Anyway, on with the challenge ...

This is one of my absolute favourite photos - me with my two beautiful great-nieces, Beth and Sophia. 

To join in my challenge just use the sketch as your starting point and see where your inspiration takes you! Put a link here and I'll visit your blog. My favourite linked page will win a scrapbooking kit.

A record 14 lovely linkies last month! It always amazes me the range of interpretations that can be got from one sketch. I just love a page that makes me smile so this month's winner, scrapped by Maria, was an easy choice!

I'm looking forward to another record number of linkies this month. 

Happy scrapping!

Beat the Christmas Rush

With everything I have going on now how did I ever have time to go to work? I've reluctantly decided that something must give, so I am going to finish BtCR. Thank you to everyone who has joined in over the years.

The lovely Krafty Karen has kindly agreed to take over Beat the Christmas Rush on her own blog. Please do support her with links to your Christmas cards. Thanks so much Karen.

Sketch Challenge May 1-31

Well I hope that nice weather we had in early April wasn’t summer! It’s blimmin’ freezing here today! Anyway, here we go with the sketch for May’s challenge…

…  as always use the sketch as your starting point and see where it takes you. Use the linky to show me where your page is stored your blog, your gallery, photo hosting website or FB if I am a friend and I’ll chose my favourite to receive one of my page kits.

From last month’s fab line up I have chosen this gorgeously pretty page by Sarah – isn’t it just delicious?

Sarah – I’ll bring your kit to the crop.

Beat the Christmas Rush April 25-May24

OMG I just came here to put up the May sketch challenge and saw I forgot to do BtCR! So sorry to my little band of loyal joiners-in.

Christmas Card tally 17

I’m still in my ‘clean and simple’ phase and I am rather pleased with these. The dove is made using the SU bird builder punch and I printed ‘Peace’ on my computer before cutting the card. I am going to do some more of the centre panel and use them on little cards.

It’s not too late to join us in Beating the Christmas Rush – just make your cards and link up here each month … simples.

From last month’s lovely linkies I have chosen this gorgeous fancy fold card by Mrs A. So striking and I love the little mice!

I so hope a few more will join us this month – you’ll be sorry in December if you don’t! LOL

 

The small print … please only link new cards. Up to 5 links allowed per person per month. Be nice and mention my blog in your post(s).  It’s not necessary, but I’ll be thrilled, if you join my blog as a follower. If you miss a month or two it doesn't matter, come back next month … or the month after.

Sketch Challenge April 1st-30th

April is here and spring is sprung – well not quite but I'm ever hopeful of some sunshine to cheer us all. Meanwhile, here’s April’s sketch challenge – as always use the sketch as your starting point and see where it takes you.

Use the linky to show me where your page is stored your blog, your gallery, photo hosting website or FB if I am a friend and I’ll chose my favourite and send them one of my page kits.

A record 14 linkies last month – thanks so much everyone for sharing your fab pages. I really was spoilt for choice for my kit winner but I decided upon this page by Alison – so stylish!

Alison – please PM me your address and I will send you a page kit.

Beat the Christmas Rush 25th March to 24th April

Christmas Card Tally 12

Still playing catch up after my slow start in January here are my 6 cards for March. I have used the Stampin’ Up bow punch – my new favourite toy with thanks to my lovely friend Susi who patiently showed me how to use it.

So will you join us in our effort to Beat the Christmas Rush? Just make up to 5 Christmas cards a month and link us to your blog post. It doesn’t matter if you miss a month or haven’t even started yet; dip in and it as you like. Each month I will feature my favourite from last month’s links and I couldn’t resist these gorgeous cards by Sarah which she describes as simple and I describe as classy!
