For 3 challenges, 1 at Bronte and Bella's challenge which is to use "Perple" and one of Mo's images. The 2nd is this great sketch over at Stampavie and more and the 3rd is Daring cardmakers which is Purple too.

AHOY ! ...

Captain Max is coming aboard. I'v made this card for the Basic Grey challenge, which is this fab sketch by Martine. Also I'm going to enter it ino Pink Gems prize draw to win 6 of Janet's beautiful stamps. Janet is looking for guest designers too so wish me luck !

The papers are BG Ambrosia and DCWV Rock star and the card is Papermill. Captain Max is stamped onto some fantastic art paper from Photopaperdirect.com. It's slightly textured and works great with pencils and Sansador.

I coiled some twine round some buttons from my stash, the brads are from my stash too.

The sentiment is handwritten.

I'm still ....

here and I've not done any crafting. My week has been busy trying to sort out schooling for my step son and a hospital visit for me.
Unfortunately due to a minor disagreement between my hubby and DSS Mother, the poor lad has been picked up and taken home. He didn't want to go but who listen's to an 8 year old.?
So today's a new day and I can spend it crafting after I've made a few phone calls to undo the arrangements made for him. Hubby and I are so disheartened. Oh humm.
I've got a card to finish for a challenge and something and I need to start the samples for my brother's Wedding invites, order of service and place names. NO PRESSURE ! And get my SOPHISTICATS in early this week. Boy will that shock 'em !
So all in all plenty to keep me busy.

Am off to get sorted before DS gets up and his friend arrives for me to take to school. In the words of Arnie, " I'l be back " later with something to show you, I promise, honestly I will !

Cheryl's challenge over at SOPHISTICATS ...

Good morning ladies and gents. Well it's Cheryl's sketch this week over at SOPHISTICATS and she's done us proud with this fab sketch and an added challenge of bling on your work. That can be glitter, gems or anything that sparkles.

I used this fantastic image by Mo Manning at Digital Pencil too. Isn't he just gorjus ? I've printed him onto this great paper by Photopaper Direct.com. It's slightly textured and prints and colours absolutely fab.

For the bling bit I've added good old Glamour dust for the spider's web.

The greeting is computer generated.

Do have a wander over to SOPHISTICATS and play along and take a look at the other members of the DT's blogs and work.

Thanks for taking a look at my blog an I hope you'l call again soon.
