Allsorts Challenge 57 ...A Little Sketchy

 Morning folks....time to share a card I made for the Allsorts Challenge this week following a fab sketch from my lovely bloggy bud Emma....such a simple sketch but I love it.....great for using up all those paper scraps that us crafters seem to hoard.

And after the button threading bonanza on Saturday.....I am still at it...and yes they are of the 4 hole variety....and something that you may have worked out for yourselves....I have a bit of a button fetish I fear... and can't bear for them not to be threaded....they look naked somehow.   These gorgeous papers caught my eye at Simply Create on Saturday......just had to have them....a girl deserves a little treat after all that button threading don't you think and how could I resist my favourite colour combo of the moment.....browns and blues....but I've turned over a new leaf.....got right in there and started chopping them up...it was difficult and had me out in a bit of a sweat but there is a new rule in the cubbyhole "no more stashing away....taking out to stroke and admire occasionally".....it's for using or else I will never work my way through the paper mountain.
Off for our morning stroll and I can't believe the weather here....it's supposed to be flaming June...the sun is supposed to be shining....it's supposed to be warm and toasty instead it's brass monkey weather...feels more like October....what happened....did I miss summer......have just looked out my cosy winter fleece and may even be grabbing my scarf on the way out the door.
A big thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday on the little sewing tidy....but as I said to the girls on Saturday....it isn't hard to be creative when you are working with such fabulous products from Hero Arts...Tim Holtz and Ranger.
Hugs Kath xxx
Edited to add: by the time it's taken me to have a shower....the wind has dropped.....the sky has cleared and the sun is out.....make up your mind Mr Weather
