Crafty mojo vanished and instead I have been relaxing, watching TV and doing boring chores. I made a couple of quick cards last night and plan to make a few more today<br />First up I have set a colour challenge over at <a href="http://justbex.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=45719#45719">JB Forum</a>. A colour I rarely use which is ORANGE. I am determined to continue my quest to use up papers that I have had for a while and so here is the first few sheets gone from the Ambrosia range.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322629291654635218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 315px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinFXWdVoUzw_HPZ_ZkvsyzWOvorZD7-IllKKjx9F_Lrw-QNC9F3UluLS7ARjLbF6xItlDMC5xd9xKNpPwU98MA3Zuwa-gecvNhDL0WZtiw_iZtgrJYJx3xo95DzJlPLOAnb92Y3Q/s320/Sketch+Saturday.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/">Sketch Saturday</a> provided a lovely sketch to work with - kicked me into making a card as I do love a good sketch!

I will be back in the swing of things pretty quick as that is how retail is - but I may still sulk for a couple of days as is expected after a holiday!<br />So I am determined to keep up with <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/">365 cards </a>site, and todays challenge is to use scraps. Well i have quite a lot of these! And I love using them so a bonus. These are offcuts of Noteworthy papers which i have used quite a bit lately. And I still have new sheets to cut into so I guess you will see them again soon, but a few scraps turned into something new anyway.<br />The image is one received in a swap, and not normally my thing - but I have to say it was a fun one to colour in!<br />Be back tomorrow hopefully. Apologies for bad pic - it is very dark here - I will update on next day off.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimz3SdNUn4NAtXAWVAXhQSP1ERpQYPlDGXgYmCUXYhyphenhyphenluF5rHu-5Aws5YVrOpSy5d9Tq6jCw906SCfpCxpdsTTqxBxN4W6bdigqIaiXDa5z7fWP9iQsVyiayDFe-0sjY-2clOsuQ/s1600-h/365+day+9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311319972177091698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimz3SdNUn4NAtXAWVAXhQSP1ERpQYPlDGXgYmCUXYhyphenhyphenluF5rHu-5Aws5YVrOpSy5d9Tq6jCw906SCfpCxpdsTTqxBxN4W6bdigqIaiXDa5z7fWP9iQsVyiayDFe-0sjY-2clOsuQ/s320/365+day+9.jpg" border="0" /></a> Love n Hugs<br />bex<br /><div></div>Bexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01924335156242720267noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32674659.post-318163233472138552009-03-08T17:08:00.003+00:002009-03-08T17:14:32.765+00:00365 Cards & JB Challenge<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310865216470914482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKMTWxqwWNz7aOOAEraoF-BMGyIXSrDTItxt-d2LuoWwcq2TOGRDzmVHi-uJkFmGoLBMtXn3w3iq6zQX689QIGqPDuj6IM6zFDvMKkoAZJ5sT2jnasygOGMPPVocpdYrMXwUZX-w/s320/365+Day+8.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/">365 Cards</a> today supplied us with a lovely sketch by Kazan of 2S4U fame!<br />Lovely sketch and I enjoyed playing so thanks very much.

I actually had to go out to buy brown kraft paper and it cost me a whoppng 45p for a HUGE roll of it. So you may be seeing it a bit more!<br />And now I am feeling slightly depressed - back to work tomorrow and I have that Sunday night feeling that is intensified having just had 7 blisfull days off. Although I am not quite sure how they went so quickly! So back to evening only crafting for Bex until my next holiday - which I will be booking tomorrow as I quite like this not working lark!<br />Love n Hugs<br />BexBexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01924335156242720267noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32674659.post-22363063814330426872009-03-07T20:50:00.003+00:002009-03-07T20:59:57.842+00:00365 - Day 4Ok I have sort of mucked this one up on 2 counts!<br />First the challenge is to draw inspiration from an advert.

The site is <a href="http://365cards.blogspot.com/">365 cards</a> and the idea is a daily challenge to get all us crafters actually crafting. Excellent idea!<br />I don't know that I will be able to play every day but I have certainly bookmarked it and will join in when I can! Crikey - I really should try to do it daily, maybe if I use it to make a simple quick card every day it will get my mojo right into action! Anyway, today is a sketch challenge and I havekept it quite simple!<br />Good luck to the new site - I think it is a fab concept and will be watching with interest. If you plan to play along then please leave a comment here so I can touch base with you and get to know those who are playing! Right - off to get dinner on ........ and I am now off work for a whole week and am chuffed to little mintballs!

Hmmm Light is brighter but it is not fooling me I am crackered still after a busy weekend at work!<br />But I am still on my crafting mission to play in the evenings rather than do work stuff ......... not sure how long it will last, my brain is still ticking with a long list of stuff to get done!<br />Anyway, first up I found a challenge blog called <a href="http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/">Stamp Something</a> which hopefully I will be able to play along with as I like my stamps :) The challenge this week is to use something new - so new stamp bought yesterday! It looks very much like the leaning tower though, I think it may be me cutting it out slightly wonky rather than the design of the stamp itself!<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287526850454929778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLVMaXtRCiMC8eOPI8EdGmhMBE1AUKyIKdOVtkjT_NcPbK_hGLbaZ5s53R1OuAnm_Y9SUkQP-j54mumq3fu_3BgdqgV8W2bUHFAjb_SQH9b4na3ntYay0S_aStdoUsEh_HIDi4Xw/s320/Jan+3.jpg" border="0" />And second up I have just played making a few cards using up paper .... I really am drowning in so much of the stuff. And yes one of my New Years resolutions is to gradually work through all the 6 x 6 pads and loose sheets of paper I have mounting up here. So I thought I would ask the girls over at the <a href="http://justbex.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php">forum </a>to join in and see if they could use some old stuff up!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287526863496845106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYoaV_wi2c0vduoL6dqzEKca_s-yvTY5RFVpZg2jeK7OfMqXJtcg1tcNTNwrVf2KwUVnTV1Bh9RlTSv_Xhs6lykWSRqA_Rvp3kR1y4Dl6l_udp3y7jUXvouvUYFQRQjMSVbMHMA/s320/Jan+4.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>Apologies for such bad pics but it is so hard this time of year to get good ones when you are out of the house 12 hours a day!</p><p>And now I am off to have a wee blog hop, and then off to bed as I am in work early tomorrow ........ no rest for the wicked and all that :)</p><p>Love Bex </p>Bexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01924335156242720267noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32674659.post-7400763289458936432009-01-01T19:12:00.003+00:002009-01-01T19:15:07.325+00:002 Sketches 4 UA Fab sketch as always this week from 2S4U - I have struggled to do it justice and cut up far too many bits of paper in failed attempts!
