Just Cute Bears # Bev's Sketch
I went to a crop after work today and had this card all organised but....there's always a but isn't there? I'd forgotten to take an edge punch with me. I did get the image coloured and everything ready to stick together. So all I had to do was stick it together and add some pearls, a sentiment and my new ribbon. But could I get it uploaded to the DT blog? No not easily! I'm not sure if it was Mr Smart Alec Blogger or my broadband. When I did get it uploaded I then messed up shifting it from the beginning of the post to the end of the DT pics. I hope I got it sorted eventually without messing up the rest of the post!!
But enough of my fun with uploading. Here is the little cutie you can win this week. Kindly supplied by the ever generous Kim at Cuddly Buddly.
Our very talented GDT Bev has given us a great sketch to follow this week. We don't mind if you turn it round as long as we can see the original sketch that's fine.
I used:-
Image :- LOTV - Deckchair Dreaming.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
DP :- MME laundry line.
Colouring :- Promarkers. Chalk for sky (if you can see it!)
Pearls :- the Hobby House.
Nesties, Stampin' Up! punch, ribbon from stash.
Hope you can find time to pop over to Just Cute Bears to check out what my talented teamies have done with Bev's sketch. The other girls have made some beautiful cards this week and we'd all be really pleased if you could leave us a comment to let us know how we're doing.
Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my card and for any kind comments you may leave. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Penny Black and more!
And here's the inside. I don't usually do the inside except for a printed insert but it's really nice to make the effort sometimes.
I used:-
Image :- Penny Black slapstick - hedgehog birthday.
DP :- Basic Grey Kioshi.
Colouring :- Promarkers and Spica Glitter gel pens.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Flowers :- EK Success retro flower punch.
Lace and pearls from stash.
Flower charm included in candy I won from lil daffodil - thanks Fiona.
I quite like this card except for the candle light! I think I've overdone the colour there. Think I've used the wrong shade of yellow and then added Spica gel pen in yellow - paler would have been better lol!
Now that I've got this made I think it fits a few challenges :-
Penny Black :- Flowers.
Allsorts :- Birthday.
Secret Crafter :- Metal - only a small charm but it is metal!
Basic Grey :- Punch it plus DP.
Creative Inspirations Sunday Challenge :- Punches or die cuts.
Sketch Saturday :- Sketch.
Crafty Cardmakers :- Decorate inside.
Cupcake :- Blooming charming.
Pollycraft :- Summer blooms.
Die Cut Dreams :- Lace.
Papertake Weekly :- Say it with flowers...
Creative Inspirations Wednesday challenge :- For a child.
ABC :- U for unused stash. The lace because I'm trying not to use it lol!!
Crafty Creations :- Celebrate.
A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Cute and Girly.
Charisma Cardz :- 3D.
Phew I'll need to go and have a coffee now - I'm exhausted typing out all these challenges lol! I don't usually combine as many challenges as this but somehow they just all seem to fit. I usually take a note of my favourite challenges to see if any of them go together but only ever do a few of them. This must be a record for me as I usually can't be bothered searching around.
Well I'm off to make that coffee and think about my DT cards.

Thanks Everyone.
I also want to thank everyone who has been kind enough to say sorry to hear about the death of my little dog, Lucy. We'll really miss her, 14 years is a long time to have a dog. In spite of some of the things that have happened to her she always loved going to the vet's. She got a broken leg while playing with my son's friend as a puppy. She had a toe removed once as it had a nasty lump that no-one noticed - Spaniels have very hairy feet and having a toe removed is apparently quite common! 7 years ago she was very ill and nearly died. She ended up on steroid tablets which were gradually cut down until she was off them competely. The vet who put her to sleep said he had never known a dog to have been so ill and yet be able to come off the steroids. Very determined little dog our Lucy. Definitely a people dog, she just loved people. In the vet's surgery at the end she was still the same. One clap and she was anybody's. As we say here in Scotland Maddy is still a bit "hingin luggit". Droopy eared doesn't give the same impression but I expect you know what I mean lol!
So thanks again everyone you've all been so kind. I wish I could thank you all individually but we're still working at Mhairi's flat. Today I've been pasting wallpaper and I'm sure some of you must know how much fun that is!

Just Cute Bears #17 A Recipe.
We are once again sponsored by our kind sponsor Kim at Cuddly Buddly. As well as her own stamps, digi stamps and digi download papers Kim sells a wide selection of other lovely goodies and it's always worthwhile popping over to her web shop for a look. I'm sure you'll find something you really want to buy!
This little cutie is the prize for one lucky random winner this week.
This is my card for this week's challenge. I meant to use a new LOTV stamp that I got the other day but could I find it? No! I searched everywhere and couldn't understand why it could be lost. In the end I gave up and decided to use this image instead. I did find the stamp I meant to use after I had stamped this image. I have some Promarkers in a plastic tub which held Tesco non bio liquid capsules! Yes that is where it was. Never mind I'll use it soon.

Totally Gorjuss 30 Round and Round!
I had been hoping to make a card in the morning but my fourteen and a half year old Cocker Spaniel was not very good. She hasn't been that good for a while and of course we've been postponing the inevitable! She barked for about half the morning and nothing seemed to help. Eventually she went to sleep for a while but woke up again just before my daughter set off with my other daughter's dog. They were coming back from their holidays and picking up Missy at Aberdeen. Just after they left she suddenly threw up on the doormat. Lovely! I only had time to throw the mat outside and go to work. When I came home she didn't even wake up. When my husband phoned from work he said to phone the vet and see when she could go in. They said she could go in first thing tomorrow so he will take her before work. I can't go with her because the first appointment is 9am and that's when I start work. She's going on what my son calls "the one way ticket!" Sound callous but all three of them are really fond of her. We have had her for over 14 years and she's been a great wee dog. She absolutely loves people and she was a pretty wee blue roan doggie. Now she is blind, deaf, shaky on her legs and just a bundle of bones. Still has a great appetite though LOL!
Sorry to go on! Now about the card. It was made rather quickly and I hope I haven't held Net up too much as she is the one who puts the challenge post together. This week we would like to see circles on your cards. You could make a round card, stamp your image on a round piece of card, use spotty paper or ribbon (I've got tiny little spots on my ribbon) the choice is yours.

Happy Anniversary.
So by the time we got home I didn't have much time to make anything but I wanted to get my card made for Penny Black's 2nd Anniversary blog hop. I needed an anniversary card for my husband....for today! Yes I was daft enough to get married on my birthday! That means he only has one chance to forget my birthday and our anniversary lol! Actually he never has in all these years....and it is quite a lot of years.
Sorry for the quality of the photo. I had a reasonable photo but when I looked at the Secret Crafter challenge I realised that I had written down 2 embellishments instead of 3 so I had to add the little heart charm lol!
Edited to add :- I've changed the photo. So if you think this one's not very good you should have seen the one I took last night lol!!

Pretty Daisy.
I'm a wee bit short of time as this is my WRI night so I need to get this posted and make my tea and go. Lack of time doesn't seem to be getting any better though my daughter has been out with the dogs so I just need to feed them and me before I go!

Totally Gorjuss 29 - Pink and Green.
This week I've made a wedding card and I think it will fit a few challenges. I am also going to send it to Domi who is getting married to Uli on the 15th of May. I hope they have a lovely day. I was married on the 13th of May more years ago than I want to remember lol!
This is my card and I hope you like it, but more importantly I hope Domi and Uli like it.

Sugar Bowl 34.
Any way enough waffle. Sorry about the quality of the photo it looks a bit pale. Not easy to get a decent picture at night.
I used:-
DP :- Papermania rose garden.
Image :- Birthday Maggie.
Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.
Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura clear glitter gel pen and clear gel pen (shiny shoes).
Flowers punched with EK Success retro punches.
Pearls from stash.
That's it then, not a lot to it and probably not one of my best. Not sure I've done justice to Tiet's lovely sketch with all it's layers. Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with some more cards. There are a few challenges I'd like to enter before I have to think about more decorating lol!!

Just Cute Bears # 15 Buttons and Bows.
I'm always looking for a sketch for inspiration to do my Just Cute Bears DT card but I posted a card using the great sketch from Sketch Saturday so I thought I'd do a variation of that one as I found it really easy to use.
Titchy Card!
