Paper smooches SPARKS-4th-10thFeb

So over at the  Paper smooches Sparks they have their Trend watch week.

And the theme this week is....polka dots!

So with this in mind i created this card.......

 I used Paper smooches geo-graphic set to create the background. i used the dots with white embossing powder. Then i stamped the monster from the  falling for you set onto dot embossed cardstock and added wiggly eyes. lastly i cut out a stitched mat from lil inkers stitched mat die set  and used the alphadot set to write the sentiment.
I added some ribbon and the card was finished.

If you would like to join in the challenge all you need to do is go over to the paper smooches sparks challenge and have a go!

Some Odd Girl monthly sketch challenge for Feb 2013

Hey everyone!
So i was lucky enough to get my polished pinkies onto the new some odd girl set called Love Bandits.
This is truly an Awesome set!!! i fell in love with it as soon as i saw the sneak peeks on the Some Odd Girl Blog.

so i thought why not use the little critters on my sketch challenge that SOG have going at the moment.
Here is the Sketch.

And here is my interpretation of the sketch.....

I made sure i used all the elements from the sketch but just resized them a little.
Thats what i love about the sketches. they can give you just that little bit of inspiration when you have a brain freeze!!!
I used Bella! embossed cardstock in pink, and several different coloured core'dinations  cardstock. i used Lil Inker Designs stitched rectangle mats, and their stitched banner. i also used Fiskars kaleidoscope border punch.
The copic markers i used are as follows-  E71,74,77,R32,35,37,E50 and E02.
