Lazy Dayz - I can dream can't I?

I am entering this card into the following challenges.

Moving Along With The Times #59 - sketch
Lothian Crafts - one for the men
Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge #15 - yellow and cream or white
Incy Wincy Designs #55 - yellow
Digital Tuesday Challenge #72- use up your scraps
Anything Goes Challenge #12 - layers
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #35 - anything goes.

I have used the scraps I have left from a scrapbook LO it is from DCWV Stack 6.  The yellow mats are from 12 x 12 Papermania textured card stock stack and I have distressed them with my scissors to show the white core.  I coloured a Dustin Pike image with Promarkers and chalked the background with a sand, sea and sky layer but it doesn't really show up on the picture.

I am hoping there is enough yellow on the card for DDCC & IWD challenges, asked my kids what colour they would say is the main colour and they both said yellow, so fingers crossed.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and has a great week.

MAWTT #55 + Pollycraft flash those freebies

Just a quick post today for

MAWTT #55 - Sketch by Heidi to include Animals

Tales from Pollycraft - Flash those freebies

Heidi designed this great sketch over on MAWTT and I am using it to enter Tales from Pollycraft's 'flash those freebies'.  You have to enter a card using one of the past freebies and then there's more hop over and find out.

I have used My minds eye 'wild asparagus' papers, ribbon coloured with copic markers and card candy, blue paper from stash (I've run out now and can't remember where I got it).

2 days and counting then I can tell you my fantastic news (no I'm not pregnant or getting married).  I'm off out now so have a fantastic day.

Saturday sketch #105 + Moving Along With The Times #48

This card was made using card from the Papermania 12 x 12 textured card pack.  I used my Hougie Board (love this board) and Fiskars cutter to make the steps.  Backing papers were downloaded from Tinker & Co. they are having a sale on at the moment on certain paper kits.  The image is a Bugaboo freebie (I don't know if it is still available as a freebie), the mats are nestie dies and the flowers are a mixture of punches (I think Woodware and C & C, from the days of Alan & Barry, but don't quote me on this).

Saturday Sketch #105 - sketch - hope this qualifies as only the middle step follows the sketch.

Moving Along With The Times #48 - Folds

An update on OH, he's not had any more pain (thank goodness) and he has read on the internet that a mixture of lemon juice & olive oil will help make the stone smaller, so he has had this mixture twice in the hope it will help dissolve? the stone.  He goes back to the hospital in 2 weeks for a follow up appointment and hopefully the stone will have gone by then.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and if you live in the UK I hope you enjoy the bank holiday.  Happy crafting. :-) xx

One card 2 Challenges

I am entering this card into 2 challenges this week.

The Penny Black Challenge #97 Monochromatic Brown and the Moving Along With The Times #43 a sketch + animals.

It is the first time I have entered these challenges so I hope I have got the details correct. I coloured the Penny Black stamp (Minding Shelty) in inks. I used Frayed Burlap for the Shelty & Hedgehog and Anna Griffin Chocolate for the saddle and rug and mane highlights. I hope it will be allowed that I used a yellow copic for the stirrup.
