Magnolia - Sketch Week 141

It's been rather a chilly day here today, I had to scrape my car this morning and then at lunchtime it was still only 4 degrees!! Brrrr way to cold :)

Over the weekend I managed to make a card for the Magnolia Challenge Sketch, I seem to be taking longer and longer each time I make a card at the moment, I get so easily distracted with Facebook, blogland and Pinterest :) I have managed another card without using pink!! I really love this paper pad it is Portobello Road by Papermania, I also purchased the Glittered Designer Die-cuts which are lush!

MDUC 130

I have been out this evening for a run, I managed 1.3 miles, tomorrow Zumba and Thursday a 10.5 mile bike ride. Since Christmas I havent really done much exercise but I am going to get back into it!!

The challenge this week over on the MDUC is to "Create a project in the colours of your National Flag"..... this may be tricky for some.... but we KNOW you are all up to the challenge! We do ask that you note in your blog post the colours that feature on your flag so we can see them clearly in your card.

I struggled to find papers for this challenge, as most of my papers contain pink!! I had to dig deep for these :) I think the blue dotty one is from a Nitwit Collection and the red is an old Magnolia paper.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend, remember the candy closes this evening so if you want to be in with a chance of winning, please leave a comment on the post below :)

Its a bit breezy here this morning, looks like we might be in for a spot of rain later on. I have a stew in the oven, it smells lush, I've just made the dumplings ready to go in very shortly, mmmm.

The challenge over on TOMIC this week is a sketch and to use fabric.

This little lovely landed on my doorstep on Friday, so it would of been rude not to use her :), you can't see very well in the photo but I have used a little bit of cheesecloth fabric and lace just to the left of the image.

We also want you to use a bow somewhere on your creation, it can as an embellishment, a chipboard, a ribbon, a charm, etc...
