I am a working mum of three very untidy children. Although not sure if 18 still qualifies as a child? but then again from their actions its a yes! I really enjoy most crafts and tend to be enthusiastic but not always competent!!

Crafting from a garage in the Cotswolds...

Saturday Sketch 36

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Had a lovely day yesterday with my friend Irene as we went to a stamping workshop in Cricklade. Can't believe how time flew and in 3 hours I had only made 2 cards! Well that's nattering for you. There where a lot of talented ladies at the workshop who had lots of ideas and produced some lovely cards. Decided to have a go at the challenge over at http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ . But having completed a card am feeling a bit down as not really happy with it at all and don't feel I'm getting any better:( (will get over feeling poor poor me in a bit!!). I have spent so long blog hopping seeing some wonderful work I do get frustrated that I can;t seem to produce any thing like what I see. Oh well more practise needed....

Did buy 5 more promarkers yesterday and have had a colour today so that has been good - really wish I could find a pink that I liked - If anyone can recommend one please let me know!


Used pastel blue for jeans, soft lime & lemon for top, amethyst & carmine on the flowers, hair lemon,yellow & satin. I ended up with very limey fingers as I coloured the ribbon and the raffia to try to match. But still not happy. Going to cook a late supper and have a hop later to try to learn a bit more.


Hope everyone has a good week ahead .... Just looked out of my window and we have snow here in Gloucestershire!! Yippee!!!

Love your colors and the image is adorable. Lime green and purple is one of my favorite combos.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your card is lovely! I use Promarkers and the pinks are use are Rose Pink and Blossom, I find these work really well together.
I hope this helps.
Hugs Lynsey:)

Hi Dilly,
are you mad? I think your card is gorgeous.
Your embellishments suit the coloured stamp perfectly.
