Twice in one day!

I'd be shocked too ;) but I had to post these cards as the linky closes soon. My next make was for Freshly Made Sketches challenge 295. I wasn't that impressed with how the first one came out so I made another one using a different stamp from the same, unfortunately retired, set and even better it's a start for Christmas. The challenge sketch is below:

And here are my two attempts:

Next attempt using lots of the same stuff since it was on my desk, also mostly retired items. I need to use up some of my goodies so I can justify ordering more :)

It's been soooo long!

Wow, sorry, it's been a long, long time since I posted! A few things have happened since then though - like we've moved to the other side of the country... We're now residing in sunny (at least some of the time) Queensland. There is a bit of chaos associated with moving! I've finally stopped procrastinating and am looking for my crafting mojo. I decided to start with a sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch! This is the sketch:

And here is my card. It didn't quite turn out as I'd pictured - I thought the 'brickwork' would stand out a bit more when I stamped the panel (Early Espresso) so I sponged with Crumb Cake which did give slightly more definition. The dragonfly and sentiment are given a bit of sparkle with Wink of Stella - I used the now retired gold but the clear would work just as well. Have I mentioned that I love these dragonfly dies??
