Tuesday morning sketch

Over at Tuesday Morning Sketch there is a this sketch to follow
 I have chosen to make my card and then mount as an easel card

I used Crafters Companion Platinum Collection and coloured the Popcorns' football strip in Berry Red Promarker as he is going to be playing for Liverpool, I am told red are their colours, no idea really, it's for my son's birthday. There are 3 different papers in this card as well as the layers of gold and red. and several embellishments.

This card also qualifies to be entered for:
Promarkers Challenge - Teddy Bears
Fab ' n'Funky - 3,2,1 challenge -  3 papers, 2 embellishments, 1 image

My 1st Blog Award - whoopie

I'm so pleased I have been given this blog award from Wendy at wendyscraftingtimes

So as part of this award I must tell you why I started my Blog and why I keep it going.

I started my blog for me to keep a record of my completed cards & projects, and to show my friends and family, who are spread all over the world.

Then I found out about challenges, another great reason to make things,  there is so inspiration and information out there for when my mojo deserts me, it's so addictive,

Why I keep it going,  I'm learning so many new techniques from my new online friends, and I'm just plain nosey,  I love to see what people have been up to.  It's good to share

Now I have to give this award to 10 of my fav blogs, Now that is a difficult choice to make, there are so many good ones out there:
