FRIDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE 42

Hi Everyone

Woo hoo .. .. the weekend is just about here!!

It has been quite a busy week in the old House of Hearts but I am actually quite pleased with my progress .. .. not very often you will hear me say that!!

Our youngest Son moves out of his flat next weekend so tomorrow I am going to help him with some of his packing .. .. we have been chipping away at it over the last few weeks but now it is getting close to him having to finally put all his vinyl and CDs into sealed boxes!! Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow!

I mustn't be too flippant about this though because he feels the same way about his music as I feel about my craft pod and its contents.  If we were moving house on a Saturday I bet I wouldn't pack my craft goodies away until Thursday LOL!!!  Well perhaps just a few things could be packed away early!!!

So a busy couple of weekends ahead that I am trying not to think about too much!!

I am really enjoying playing along with sketch challenges at the moment (as you may have noticed) and  today I am playing along with the Friday Sketch Challenge with this little creation




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3338J" Long Kiss
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Tiny Everyday Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Nitwits a mixture of "Always and Forever FQB" and "Always and Forever Too"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
Nellie Snellen Punch "FLP008" Branch 2  (that has been pruned a bit)
Crafter's Companion:  Die'sire Dies "Scalloped Tags"
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
ProMarkers
Lace

Gosh that felt a bit of a long list for me!!!

If you fancy playing along then this is the sketch I followed


Hope you all have a great rest of the day and a lovely weekend.

Catch you again soon

Love

    Simply adorable card Jules and perfect backing papers...
    Your post made me smile...only other crafters can understand why need we need all the stash we have...I also like music when crafting but mainly 50's & 60's I'm afraid... Have a great weekend..

    Oh Jules, this really is adorable! Super PB image and such a lovely card, as always.

    Were your ears burning earlier today I wonder, I was making a Joy fold card following your brilliant article in this month's QCME magazine. I LOVE measuring, cutting and sticking so was in my element - plus I used a few snippets on the way :)

    Laughed about the packing away of craft stuff, know just what you mean - going on holiday is tough (well, sort of tough) and am always itching to play as soon as we get home.

    Good luck to your son in his move!

    Hugs, Di xx

    Good luck with your son's move! My daughter is moving out of the family home in September and is supposed to be clearing STUFF out of her room.... I expect we'll be having a panicky fortnight just before she goes!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!
