New Month = New Challenges

Hello and welcome to another new month and some very exciting challenges!!

First up I have for you my CT sample for STUCK SKETCHES?!  This month we have a gorgeous sketch provided by Julie Winks....

Sketch: 


Sprinkler Fun...


Some close ups...and yep that is a cute little Purple Pumpkin button!



Next I will share with you my CT sample for KRAFT IT UP.  This month its NO PATTERN PAPER ALLOWED.  Ideas for items to use include journal blocks, fabrics, dress making paper, ribbons, paints, mists, masking, rub ons, flowers, tags, stickers the list goes on, as long as it is NOT Patterned Paper.


Water Baby.....Had fun with this layout...just played with mists and paints and stamps with a brown paper bag (!!) and quite like how it came out...something different for me!


Using another gorgeous Purple Pumpkin button....I don't think I will ever get tired of using them!


You have until the 31st May to upload your take to both of these fabulous challenges to Mr Linky.  Look forward to seeing yours soon :)))

Take care
xx
