Papertake Weekly Challenge...Sketch 35

Morning folks and I have a confession to make...and you will probably find this hard to believe but I have absolutely no willpower...sound familiar....my statement about ignoring my new Penny Blacks lasted the whole of 5 minutes...what is it about ink and rubber?    I just had to play with this sweet image for the challenge over at Papertake Weekly a fabulous sketch from my lovely bloggy buddy Dawny P who I will be meeting up with very soon at the NEC....one of the sweetest girls in blogland....oh I can't wait for a lovely Dawny P hug....and a good old natter.

Paper: Magnolia

Image: Penny Black....Tweet Talk
Martha Stewart Border Punch

Prima E-Line Flowers

Sentiment: Craftwork Cards...Birthday Circles

finished off with Stardust Stickles

Having a little play with my Promarkers.....I am still very much the novice.....and as I was colouring the image with one eye watching TH....I made a bit of a muck up of the bird going over the outline....would have been no problem with the old Distress Inks....a clean moist brush would have whisked it away....so next time...I need to be paying more attention.    I stamped the image with Momento Black Onyx onto the fabulous new Digital Ultra Smooth Cardstock from Craftwork Cards.....great for your Promarkers and Copics....need to try it with the my new Distress Inks winging their way from QVC.

And my exciting news.....it would seem that Fiskars need me after all at the SECC.....well there is no show without punch....pardon the pun....wooo..hooo....I am so happy.....3 days of doing the best job in the world....sharing my passion for crafting and meeting lots and lots of lovely crafters and of course....working (and I use that term very loosely) alongside my bestest Fiskars buddy...Lorraine..... blimey Glasgow beware....do they know what they have let themselves in for....I don't call that work....it will be a riot of Orange and Black....FUN FUN FUN..    Won't be there on Thursday as I have tickets for the XFactor Show in Aberdeen that night and there is no way I am missing out on seeing the gorgeous JOE in the flesh...but will be hot footing it down on the first train Friday morning....so look forward to seeing you all there.....Lorraine and I would love to meet you....so don't be shy.... come and say hello.

The not so good news is just when I thought I was getting ahead of the game.....it's now more samples to fit into my already jam packed schedule....so it looks like more burning of the midnight oil.....need to get "The Budster" crafting....it's time he got a job and earned his keep...don't you think.....and we are knee deep in wintry snow again....can't believe it after the spring like weather we had on Tuesday.....so it's time to look out the Nanook of the North outfit again and brave the storm for our morning stroll....don't envy the poor folks trying to push their cars out of the deep snow to get to work.
Catch up with you all tomorrow....with hopefully a sneaky peek.....Hugs Kath xxxxx
