Creative Crew Challenge Week 8 - A sketch by Sharon

Good morning ladies, another lovely sunny day now thank goodness. When i got up this morning it was dark and overcast and raining, made me feel really grumpy. However what a difference an hour makes! the sun is out and i feel much better!

So another week at the Creative Crew Challenge, and this week we have a fabulous sketch by our talented Sharon! I enjoyed working with this sketch that i've made 2 cards, and Jasmine also had a go.
If you decide to take part in our challenge this week you have chance to win this gorgeous Penny Black stamp, donated kindly by Sharon.

So my lovelies, this is the card i made for this weeks challenge, using one of the fabulous Pollycraft images.



Jasmine used a rubber romance image, one of my favourites, and papers from the DCWV Nursery stack.


Then i made this card using some papers i brought from QVC in one of their TSV last year, and using the fabulous Rachelle Miller image, this is one of my all time favourites, and perfect for that special little girl in your life!



I have used my glossy accents on the toadstool, not sure you can see it very clearly from this terrible photo. Also glitter highlights to the wings.



Sentiment, my own printed on the computer and the letter 3 a revolution die.


So ladies, it would be great to see you join in with this weeks challenge. Go here to find out more.
As many of you know i have had a lot going on here of late and my blogging has had to take a back seat. I am slowly getting back to normal. I have my dad staying with me at the moment, he had an operation a fortnight ago removing a blood clot from his artery in his neck. I have to admit i was shocked to see him, he is a shadow of his former self. Always been a big man with a personality to match, but now, although his size is the same, he is no longer the strong confident dad i remember, he is very weak and has lost his sense of orientation. I must admit i am finding this very upsetting, but hopefully with some tlc and plenty of rest he will return to his former self. So ladies, while i am slowly getting back to normal im not where i should be. So hope you can bare with me for a little longer.
Regarding the cars, we have one mended and the other one is still in the garage, with no idea of whats the matter with it.
Yesterday and today i have Jasmine off school, she has had a bad stomach bug, mine feels a bit dodgy this morning, so no cake and chocolate for me!
Well thats enough moaning and groaning from me, ill be back tomorrow with some more cards to post, that i made sunday.
Have a good day and look forward to catching up with you all again soon.
Big hugs Linda x

Oh Linda, I do so hope that things soon improve for you and your poor dad, Im not surprised hes low, you believe that you are invincible as you get older, and nothing will get you, but it doesnt take much and something like hes had, to take the rug from under your feet. I do so hope that he soon feels more confident and able to cope. Your cards are gorgeous and it does give you a little bit of time to escape. I hope that young Jasmine is also back to nearly normal as well. Good luck my love, love and hugs Shirleyxxx

Maria said...

Hey Linda! I'm sorry to hear of your dad. I hope he'll recover to his former self. It is hard to see a loved one who was always so strong that way. It hurts, especially if they are depressed and such. I wish your dad the best.

Wow, you've made a lot of cards! All of them so pretty too! All of them using the same layout but they all look so different. Beautiful job on your coloring too!!

Take care!!
