Anything goes at Creative Inspirations with option of a sketch

Morning lovelies! Its cake day for me today - fingers crossed for lots of people through the door and lots of pennies raised for my charity! The baking went well yesterday - here's a piccie of Lucy in action!

Today I have my make to share with you for the challenge over at Creative Inspirations this week. Here's the details:

This week's challenge is Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch!

(You may choose between the new Sketch or one of the old ones. Just state which you have used).

You can find a link to the page of our old Sketches in the sidebar or simply by clicking below:
OLD SKETCHES

This week's prize is from KENNY K DOWNLOADS and is 

4 DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE WINNER'S CHOICE!

I have used sketch 2 and a digi from Kenny K - here's my make!

I've made the card for a friend of Lucy's - she's going to be 10 and isn't very girly - she plays football too - I thought she might like this one! I made the background papers using distress inks and a mask by joggles and a stamp from the cover of an old craft stamper magazine. The image was coloured using spectrum noirs.

I hope you have a great wednesday - I'll get around as soon as is possible to visit! Big Hugs Rachel xx

Favourite Colours at Creative Inspirations

Good Morning to you! How are you doing? I'm feeling happy to have my time back today but sad because my gorgeous girls are back at school - it won't be too long though before its time for half term so I have to content myself with that ..... and boy do I need that time back!!!!

I took Lucy to the pictures yesterday to see the 'One Direction' movie - it surprised me - I thought I was going to hate it but I actually came out of it thinking what a nice bunch of lads they are! So she's won me over a little.

Over at Creative Inspirations  (cinspirations) this week's challenge is to Use Your Favourite Colour Combination!

This week's prize is from MY MUMS CRAFT STOP who are offering a £10 GIFT CERTIFICATE to one Winner and a 10% DISCOUNT TO EVERYONE who takes part!

There is also another prize from our other sponsor KENNY K DOWNLOADS who will be giving another winner 4 IMAGE OF THEIR CHOICE!

I used he image called Kitty Catastrophe that you can get from here.

My fave colour combo for this card is red, black and grey. I think she looks pretty snazzy! I've coloured her with promarkers and cut her out with a spellbinders die before inking up the die edge with Distress Ink. The wording is cut from a brittania die and the diamante swirl is from the Hobby House.

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

Here's some more holiday snaps.

 This one was on a walk at Lands end - I used the self timer on my camera - hence the funny angle. Penny is sticking her tongue out - she was a nightmare on this walk - she just can't seem to get pleasure from it - but hey ho!!! We do so we'll battle on!!!

This one is back at the theme park - Lucy and her daddy are enjoying the teacup ride! Talking of Shaun - he's going to be on the telly soon on the One Show - he's got a few minutes slot talking about liquid helium which is what his research is into! Should be in the next couple of days! We're very excited about it!

Thanks for looking and I hope to see you again soon xx
