This week on Penny Black Saturday challenge the challenge is stars and stripes. I have used the penny black stamp prank call, coloured with polychromos and sansador. This has been edged with brushed cordury distress ink and mounted onto Basic Grey paper. Have added striped ribbon and a star stamped onto striped paper 
This is my version of the sketch on the Friday Sketchers chalenge blog. Again I am working with limited supplies, I have used a Sarah Kay image coloured with polychromos and sansador, some paper from my stash. Have used what I can only describe as a knitted lace down the right hand side and some pink netting along the bottom. Have added 2 flowers from Prima and a brad as the centre of the flower 
Today I am working with very limited supplies, but I did have this image which fits in very nicely with today Cute Card Thursday challenge which is in the water. This is the second time within a month that this image has been used. I do not have much in the way of craft materials with me, so todays card is very basic.
This week on Sarah Kay wekkly challenge blog, there is an absolutely brilliant sketch to follow, the sketch can be rotated, resized but the elements are to stay as per the sketch. This is my version of the sketch. Have used sarah kay image coloured with polychromos and sansador again, edged the image with spiced marmalade distress ink, mounted this onto some scrap yellow card, the orange and lilac paper is also from the scrap box, the patterned paper is basic grey. Used a sizzix bookplate die and added a rub on.
These are my Spring and Winter ATC's for the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge of the 4 seasons which has been running this month on the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog.
This week on A spoon full of sugar, we have been challenged to make a card with 3 different ribbons. Well I have managed that, all the ribbons are a brown and pink combination, to go with the brown and pink coloured sugar nellie image. The image has been coloured with polychromos and sansador again, have added a die cut from Go Kreate down the side along with 3 flowers with buttons as the centre and a craftwork card sentiment.
So here is my version of this week sketch over on Friday Sketchers blog. This week the sketch was by Carole in England and what a great sketch it is, but have to say didn't find it too easy, need to user a smaller image or a larger card, one or the other.
Over on Cute card thursday challenge blog this week, we are challenged to make a card using

This week on the Sarah Kay weekly challenge blog, the challenge is How Charming.
The challenge set yesterday on Tilda and Co challenge blog is Cold as ice.
This month the Tilda and Friends ATC challenge blog are running a Seasons challenge, the challenges are normally set weekly but for August it is a month long challenge. We have to make an ATC for each season and this is my summer one. Autumn one is almost done but its drying at the moment. Have used polychromos and sansador to colour Tilda, and have used Distress inks for the sea and sky and sprayed some glimmer mist over them 
This week the challenge on Penny Black Saturday challenge is ribbons. They want to see ribbons on our projects, so I have used a pale pink ribbon across the bottom of the image and a very narrower ribbon threaded through the flower button. I have used a colour that I don't normally use, but the paper is from my stash which I think was from a scrapbook kit on QVC, have matted the image onto orange card, also from the same kit, added an orange and white flower, and the sentiment done on orange dymo tape. 
Today on Friday Sketchers there is a lovely sketch from Mumur in France. I have used a devil stamp from Dewdropcraftz, some card put through the cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, then sanded the dots, all mounted onto red card and then layered onto some more paper from my paper stash, and the stampin up hugs and kisses sentiment and then finished with black lace along the top
Over on the papertake weekly challenge blog, we have been challenged to use buttons this week, so here is my card with buttons. I have used the Sugar Nellie skater, which has been cut and mounted onto some fabric, in turn mounted onto more of my paper stash (not sure whose paper this is). Have cut the words skater boy with a sizzix alphabet on my cuttlebug, and finally stamped the happy birthday, and added of course a couple of buttons. 
Well the challenge on Cute card Thursday this week is Soft furnishings, you can use fabric, ribbons, stitching, buttons etc, in fact anything that you can find on the soft furnishings in the home. So I have used Leather and wool thread. Hamish and his tractor have been coloured using polychromos and sansador and cut out then mounted onto Leather, then mounted onto crate paper. The background is also crate paper. Have edged the whole card with the wool thread. Not sure if I am entirely happy with this card though 
This week on A spoon full of Sugar challenge blog, we have been challenged to make a card with a secret message , they wanted us to hide a message, so I have hidden my message under the main image, which is attached to the card using a brad and a picture anchor. I love this sarah kay image. Have used more of the paper stash which might be getting smaller by now, some prima flowers with gems in the centre and a corner stamp. The sentiment is from a sarabook on love and family.
Todays challenge on Stamp with Sarah Kay is a sketch. This is my version of the sketch. Using more of my paper stash as you can see, (paper has been seen before), used my nestabilities again to cut the image out and layer it. Have added ribbon and lace, with some flowers and gems and a rub on sentiment to complete 
The Challenge on Penny Black Saturday challenge blog this week is a sketch, and this is my take on that sketch. Have used the penny black stamp uplifting occasion, coloured with polychromos and sansador, mounted onto card and then BG paper. Added the ribbon and the buttons and used a computer generated sentiment to finish. Have wanted to use this stamp for a long time and finally got round to using it.
Thank you to Christine for this great award
