sals 45: new sketch at seems a little sketchy

hello lovelies! Well my gorgeous husband Shaun has been away for nearly a week now in Japan - we've really missed him and will be so glad when he gets home - and its not long now!!!! Today will be made a little easier since the girls are starting a week at a summer school today - its based around their jujitsu that they do but also includes food and nutrition, baking, treasure hunts, and all sorts of arts and crafts. Sounds like fun to me. I might even get chance to do some cleaning today! I do have to get a run in though! Missed my long run yesterday and a short run on Friday - so today is an absolute must!!!

Over at Seems a Little Sketchy(seemsalittlesketchy) we have a new challenge starting using the sketch below. The challenge is sponsored by Delicious Doodles - I've used one of their images in todays card.


The image was coloured with promarkers and cut with a spellbinders die. I've also used a Martha Stewart edge punch. The greeting was cut with a Britannia die.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for dropping by today and for any comments you leave! Hope to see you again soon!

  24. Wow what a fantastic card, I love the image it's fab and your colouring is amazing. I hope your husband arrives safely back, my other half sometimes has to go to work abroad, to far away countries and I never can sleep until I know he has got there safely. Do you reckon I could pass as a kid for summer school? It sounds like mega fun :-) Hugs Kezzy xxx
