Woodware Sketch Challenge

Our old friend Harriet has been working on this month's sketch challenge. When I look at this card it makes me smile.

I really don't think that I can pay this card a better compliment than that the bears are so cute and I love the glitter and the dark blue sky.

Harriet has more about this card over on her blog Allycat Cards 

Remember you can play along until the end of November.

Here we have another sketch card for you.

The stamp is from the set Patch a Bauble designed by Francoise Read the words were also designed by Francoise and are from the set Traditional Christmas Greetings. The stencil is by Dreamweaver and the lovely glittery bits are from the  Stampendous Frantage Range. I have explained it all on my own blog dorrie's doodles

Remember it is not too late to play along!

Suzanne's Sketch

Oh I love my job! It is so exciting opening up e-mail and seeing what very clever people have made on my instruction! I love the power.....

Suzanne has followed the sketch and used it for a tag. Well a tag collecting, boy the girl was on a roll.

Suzanne has used Christmas Rounds designed by Francoise and all I can say is I wish I was going to get a gift with this tag on it!

Why not pop over to see what Suzanne has to say about how she set about on her tag fest.

I will be back with more inspiration soon.

Sketch Challenge Inspiration

Hi I just wanted to share this card with you Kim has made it for the challenge  but I thought that it should have a special mention.

Kim is a special friend of Woodware in the UK and enters challenges on both sides of the pond. 

We are working to bring the blogs together in the future so that we can bring more inspiration with even more great cards.

Kim has used the Winding Path stamp from a set designed by Francoise. I love how well the coloring matches the background paper. Kim has explained how she got the look on her blog.
