Sketchie Free For All…

 

 

Evening all, I’ve had another hectic week so I thought just as I sit down for a quiet hour with Mr Selfridge and a bag of Jelly Tots I’d better write a quick post

Keith’s Mum has been in hospital again  …and checked herself out again! She’s so stubborn but she swears by her family GP and doesn’t think she needs to be in hospital. Whatever medication they give her she stops taking and just goes back on the tablets from the Dr, which obviously aren’t working  …and so we’re back to square one each time

Joe came home on Thursday in agony, he’d fallen off his friends skateboard, and after a night in A&E he’s got a pot on and a fractured wrist. He’s supposed to be starting his new job at Wetherspoons tomorrow so it’s put paid to that, it took him so long to find a job he’s really disappointed

  …happy days, one of these weeks I might have nothing to tell you, life is never boring around here!!

So onto this weeks Papertake Weekly challenge and as it’s the last one of the month we have a little sketchie for you…

 

 

... here it is, sketch #87

If you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy because we have another ...

Sketchie Free For All

All you have to do is to use any PTW sketch (it MUST be one of ours please) and just add the number of the sketch you’ve chosen when you post the link back to us. To make life a bit easier, we now have a sketches page at the top of the challenge blog so there are plenty to choose from

As always, please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch it’s fine

This week we are thinking of our dear friends and teamies Mary and Andrea who sadly lost their beloved husband and dad last week  …sending lots of love to you both ladies xx

 

Here’s my card, Jess wanted a get well card for her boss who had a riding accident recently, I stuck with the new sketch…

I used Teddy Bouquet from Lili of the Valley and some of the new papers from the Baskets and Bunnies pad

I coloured the image with distress inks

If I use a sketch I don’t usually change it around but I couldn’t get the strip along the top to look right so I put it down the side instead, I printed it on the computer

I used Spellbinders Grand decorative ovals one, you’ll be seeing these a lot because they’re my new favourites

…oh, and the Crealies flower die which is another of my favourites and has been for quite a while!

Tim Holtz brads, lots of stickles and some lovely lace from the Ribbon Girl are the finishing touches

Right, back to my Jelly Tots, have a good week crafters x

  4. Urgh! Our elderly neighbour that I take care of is the EXACT same - she swears by her GP and won't listen to a word any other doctor says, whereas everyone else knows he's a bit of a idiot...and she won't finish any rounds of medication either! I want to shake her sometimes! It's very hard to deal with :P

    Your poor son, that's most unfortunate :( Maybe they'll take him on after he's come out of the cast?

    Gorgeous card anyway, the colours are so pretty, and that's a really nice sketch too :)

    Hope next week works out better for you! :D

  12. Hi Anne, what a lovely cheery card, love the flowers with the brad centres. I really enjoyed using this sketch too, am getting into ovals at the moment. I really like the way you've repeated the sentiment as a strip. Get well soon to your son too, maybe there is something better waiting for him around the corner xxx
