DT Call and Blog Candy.
Three Challenges.
Did anyone see Marlene's gorgeous cards in the September issue of "Cardmaking and Papercraft." She has excelled herself. The colours, images and papers are just lovely. What a talented lady.
I'm going off now to enter these challenges and get some more crafting done as I am off to my daughter's new house tomorrow to see if there is anything I can do to help.They have successfully moved today but I'm sure there is still work to do tomorrow.
Have a nice weekend everyone, Kat x
Friday Sketchers and Penny Black.
Good morning, I'm quite early cos I'm not quite sure if I'm still in time for Friday Sketchers. The photo I took last night had a blurry hedgie so I had to give up. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers and also the 3 ribbons, two flowers and a charm from Penny Black. Hope these can all be seen! The papers are wild asparagus from MME. Ribbon, jewels, brad, flowers and charm are from my stash. The cute hedgie is watercoloured.
Did anyone see Judy's article about stitching on your cards in the Sept issue of Craft Stamper? I got mine yesterday and have only had time for a quick look at it but I managed to read Judy's article. It is very good, I quite fancy trying stitching on my cards now. I've always been put off by the idea of hauling out my sewing machine but maybe if I got a mini one I would use it more readily. Worth a think anyway. So congrats to Judy on a great article and her usual fabby cards to illustrate it.
Have a good day. Kat x
Yes I was right I was too late. Wasn't sure when the cut off time was. Remind self not to be at the last minute!

What a Lovely Surprise!
Annyone who knows me knows that lucky is not usually my middle name. So to win three prizes in one week is amazing. As well as a yummy download from Pink Petticoat I "had" (LOL) to buy some more downloads including some lovely images suitable for a new home card. I am hoping to post a new home card tomorrow morning.
I'm off to bed now tomorrow is going to be another long day at work.

Whiff of Joy Blog Hop Candy
Have a look, you will love what you see.
Have a great weekend. Kat x
Midnight Madness.
Now I am off to think what to do next. I haven't done my Sugar Bowl card yet or Whiff of Joy or Truly Scrumptious!! I need to try to get ahead as I'm working full time next week and I'll only have evenings and Wednesday afternoon and then I'm visiting my daughter and family at the weekend - after they move house on Friday (while I have to work).
White on White.
I was a bit dubious about white on white but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out! Before I make a card I usually spend a while trying to see what papers go best together and with the image so this was a change.
I hope you like it. If you do tell me what you think, I love to read your comments.

Circle of Friends Award.
Now I have to pass it on to five other people. I would like to send it to: -
Judy whose work is always inspirational.
FionaJ who always makes me smile.
Judith who is sad just now.
Angela who always leaves kind comments.
Michelle cos I haven't heard from her for a wee while.
I can only send the award to five people but there are lots of people out there who inspire me and make me smile and leave me kind comments and soon this award will pass on to many more people.
I'm off now to let them know I've passed on the Circle of Friends award. Then I need to try to make a card as I've been doing housework this morning and work this afternoon so now I need to get creative. Have a good weekend everyone. Kat x

Sketch Saturday Challenge 58
Yesterday I had a lovely day out with my friend. We went to Simply Create at Alford and bought some lovely new goodies. I bought lovely My Mind's Eye papers, charms, buttons, more papers, a couple of little stamps and a magazine. The magazine is Dutch but I can look at the lovely pictures and get some new ideas lol. On the way home we went to the Papeterie at Dyce to buy some envelopes and came out with more than that, needless to say.
Thanks for looking Kat x
