Bad blogger is me !

I can't believe it's been nearly two months since I entered a card in to a challenge.  Best I rectify that then:

East meets west...

I wanted to make a colleague's leaving card.  He's emigrating to the US.  We're very sorry to see him go too.  Anyway - a good excuse to get all patriotic.

Love the image - courtesy of the talented Kenny K.

And in to the following challenges as well as his suitcase:

Anything goes at Kenny K's

Male theme at Dream Valley

Anything goes at I love promarkers

Hot, hot, hot at Papertake

Thanks for taking time to stop and look.

This one is going in to the following :
Sketch at Sweet Stampin
Sports at Dream Valley
Boys will be boys at Cards for men (he is one big kid that's for sure)

Thanks for stopping by.

Black and white ? Shades of grey really...

Ooh, Tiddly Inks, you've done it again.  Love, love, love this one.  I am trying to come out of my comfort zone with the colouring. Everyone is so good at it, and I just want to be able to colour like that too.  Then I had a promarker "v" copic issue.  I went and bought fine promarker nibs instead !

 Challenges for this one:
Sketch Saturday
Lacy Ribbon at Passion for Promarkers
Anything goes at I Love Promarkers
Lacy Ribbon at Fab"n"Funky
Flowers at Without Words
Anything goes with ribbon at Crafty Ribbons

ATTENTION ! At ease...

Another commission to get my teeth in to.
I love the digi - and a snip at a £1 from Dr Digi.  I put my Cricut to good use too.  I had a good look through   Google for inspiration for this one.  For that reason I am not putting it in to any challenges.

A much needed boost !

Finally - I managed a top five !  Thanks Pinky who was picking her faves at Passion for Promarkers.  I keep seeing such flamboyant cards win, and I really do like plain and simple, and so it's extra nice to be picked.

Here's my next entry...

 So let's try the following challenges...
Sketch Saturday (thanks for the sketch)
Doodleicious at Passion for Promarkers (fake stitching ladies)
Sound of music at Papertake Weekly (hippy/Woostock girly ladies)
Simply does it at I Love Promarkers
KISS at Crafty Creations
Emerald at Saturated Canary (don't you just love her digis)
Shabby Chic at Milk Coffee

Right I'm off to try and add my top five blinky.

FORE-tee

I have phases of wanting to use cuddly cute things on my cards.  I needed a golf themed digi and Teddy Bo had just the thing.  The sketch is courtesy of Sketch Saturday - thanks as always.

Couldn't resist FORE-tee !
