Another flying visit!

Hi again! Mega quick post from me as I've been so busy this week. Sorry I haven't had time to visit all of your lovely blogs but hopefully I'll be able to soon (I've said that so many times, I should probably accept that I'm rubbish with time management!) But this is a 4x challenge card that I've managed to squeeze in:
Sweet Stop Sketches - sketch
High Hopes - Birthday card
Papertake - Fun, fun, fun (Summer card)
Simon Says Stamp - Fathers Day/Mens card (I've already made my dads Fathers Day card so this is just a mens one)
I hope that's ok, I know some people aren't sure about combining challenges but I find it a challenge in itself! It's an A5 card but looks quite small as the image is fairly large. Thanks for looking!

Supplies-
Stamp - 'Grillin' Joe' by High Hopes
Colouring - Copics
Papers - Paper Mania 'It's a Mans World'
Eyelets - came with my Crop-a-dile
Stars - Cuttlebug die
Sentiment - Elzybells

High Hopes #34 & Simon Says...Pink & Brown!

Morning everyone, and a sunny one at that - I hope it stays! I'm trying to get lots of crafting in before I go on holiday on Tuesday, I remember last year when I got back and couldn't get back into the swing of things for ages, hopefully that doesn't happen this time!
Here's my card for this weeks High Hopes challenge which is this great sketch by the very lovely Nikki, how could I not join in! It's also for this weeks Simon Says Stamp Pink & Brown challenge.

The stamp and sentiment I've used are some of the fab stamps I won on the High Hopes blog so I thought I should ink these babies up and join in again! They're so fun to colour! I'm not too sure about the inside but at least the scraps pile is looking a little healthier! I hope you like it, thanks for looking!

High Hopes #17 & Colour Create #2!

Both Sundays challenges in one card! This weeks High Hopes challenge is a sketch from Katharina so I could join in! I only have this stamp and a BBQ one but my name was pulled out of the hat for last weeks challenge so I've got another one on the way! Woo hoo! I flipped the sketch to fit the image in better and replaced the sentiment with a bow and cute little baby feet charm! This is also for the second Colour Create challenge which this week is Peach & Aqua. I'm not sure this applies as Aqua but it was the closest I had! The baby card I made last week was for a heavily pregnant friend but she went and had a boy so I made this for her! Thanks for looking!

Friday Sketchers #37 & High Hopes #16!

I've had such a lovely day! I'm completely snowed in and even Jamie (the workaholic) didn't go in! As a result, I've made 5 cards!!! 2 of them are DT and under wraps for a few days but the others I'll post up today and tomorrow. The first is a combo challenge for Carole's Friday Sketchers sketch and I've combined it with this weeks High Hopes challenge which is to use Lace. I only have 2 HH stamps so try to join in when the theme suits my stamps and I thought lace would go with this cute baby stamp! Thanks for looking!

Stamp - 'Precious Cargo' by High Hopes coloured with Whispers

Sentiment - Elzybells

Papers - DCWV 'Nanas Nursery Girl'

Border - Martha Stewart Doily punch

Pearls - Glitter Pot

Sketch Saturday #18 and High Hopes #1!

Here's my card for 2 challenges (if it's OK), Sketch Saturday (another fab sketch) and the new High Hopes challenge blog (on the sidebar) whose first challenge is to create a birthday card featuring a High Hopes stamp and brads. I only have 2, this one and a baby one, so this one it was! There's a chance to win the entire new collection if you enter, fingers crossed! Thanks for looking!
