I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose - Day 6

Here's the sketch and my card:


I really like this mini-card, made using offcuts from a Wedding concertina card I created this week. Am now off to try and get ahead for the rest of the week, but can definitely say I am really enjoying this! See you tomorrow! Sammylou xXx

I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose - Day 3

I'm slightly behind with this, so am going to post the days I need separately but without much chat if that's ok?
This is the Day 3 sketch

And here's what I came up with. I am fairly new to using sketches but loved the simplicity of this design. However, when it came to it, I struggled to come up with a design. I had some papers and images left over from the Nitwits Hey Cupcake range and added the die-cut sentiment and flowers.

Overall it's a nice effect, but I may well re-visit this sketch to see what else I can come up with.
See you shortly with Day 4, 5 and 6! Sammylou xXx

My Favourite Things

Funky Hands are having a DT call out (http://funkyhand.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/call-out-for-new-funky-hand-design-team.html?spref=fb) and all you have to do is post some of your favourite cards. Sounds easy enough I suppose, but when it actually comes down to picking just a handful of things you've made, it's really rather difficult.

For me there's two reasons for this. The first thing is I lack confidence and have never been a shouter. As one of eight children, I grew up learning how to keep my head down (if you get what I mean!). The second thing is, as a crafter, I love everything I make. Yes, sometimes you wish you could have done something a little differently, or maybe your technique could improve. But overall, I love everything I make, that's why I do this.

So, please find below a selection from my portfolio, and to those of you who saw my status on facebook, thank ou for your input, it is greatly appreciated. I'm sorry Funky Hands, but I just couldn't pick a couple... Sammylou xXx

ILS by Tsunami Rose - Day 2

Things are a little manic here, but I have managed to complete my card for Day 2 of I love Sketches for Tsunami Rose. And today it's sketch No.22:


I'd purchased some Portobello Road papers quite a while back, but hadn't had chance to use them yet. They lend themselves very well to today's sketch. I used a stamp that came free with a Craft magazine and rotated the sketch 90 degrees, and here's what I made:


The really wonderful thing about the sketches is the variety of different cards produced by just 1 sketch. If you would like some more inspiration, please pop over to the other pages of the May Design Team:


See you all tomorrow with another sketch. Hope you have a great day, Sammylou xXx
