ICSketches # 154

Morning everyone, well winter has surely returned here, I hope things are a bit warmer were ever you are.

Guess what, I've gone all technical, yesterday I did my first ever Skype call, my son and dil are in Florida for a few weeks and we thought we could keep in touch with Skype , it is amazing, to be able to talk and see them so far away and so clear, plus it doesn't cost anything. I might see if my other son that lives about an hour away has got it, I might get to see more of him then. lol.

Anyway enough of my rambling, here we have this weeks sketch from icsketches

Lots of possabilities with this one, I twisted it on its side, used K&Co paper, EK Border punch, paper doilie, pearls, lace, nesties, Saturated Canary Digis, coloured with copics.

Hi there, here we have this weeks sketch from icsketches,

I really like this one  and have already used it twice, this card is for my brother in law, I always have a problem with his cards as he doesn't have any hobbies or even follow a sport, he has been moaning about getting old so i thought I'd rub it in a bit and make him a card with an old man on it, might stop him moaning I don't  think so.

I've coloured him with copics used Retro Forever Friends papers, Martha Stewart border punch and a making memories sentiment stamp.

ICS #145 challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

I hope you've all recovered from the celebrations and you havn't slipped from your New Year Resolutions yet, one of mine this year is to try  and keep my craft space a bit tidyer, I'm really lucky and have a three metre long workbench but always end up with a six inch square to work in, with stuff piled up round me, I darn't even sneeze in case it all came tumbling down. Well yesterday I threw four bags and one box of rubbish away, the bin men won't be here till tomorow so my Hubby wont let me out to the bin in case I bring something back again that i've discovered I can't live without.

Anyway onto this weeks challenge at icsketches, you can pick your own sketch this week, from any where not just our sketch's, remember to leave a link from where its from though.

I chose a new challenge site that only started up a few weeks ago its called seems a little sketchy and this is their second sketch

We have also been sponsored this week by bugaboo stamps who very generously gave us DT's some digi's to play with, and because its so dark and miserable here I chose this one with bright colours.
I used First edition papers, copics, ribbon, big brad and rub on.
