Seems a Little Sketchy #74 with Kenny K

This fortnight at Seems a Little Sketchy we are sponsored by: Kenny K Downloads. We got to play with some images, and my son really liked this skaterboy, so he is the one who colored the image I used. Personally, i just love the pink hair and bold color choices he made (pink-orange-purple is not a combo I typically use).

I'd like to participate in the following challenges: Robyn's Fetish (Use a die cut or punch), Glitter'n'sparkle (Must use pink - so not a hole lot but look at that hair ;) ), Papertake Weekly (Punch it out - no dies allowed), Crafts 4 Eternity (Your style: punches (dies), basic coloring - digi - using a sketch - lighthearted), Crafty Girls (AG), Incy Wincy (AG), A Blog Named Hero (Patterned Paper) and A Creative Romance (AG).

P*skishaaste: Hymyile (Ihan muuten vaan)

Ihastuin sen verran tähän Meljen'sin kuvaan, että käytin sitä toistamiseen viikon sisällä (aikaisempi tuotos täällä), mutta nyt P*skarteluhaasteen Ihan muuten vaan-teeman inspiroimana.

Silent Night...

I think I prefer my winter weather and snow as a theme for crafting, while the sun shines outdoors. However, I fear that soon the reality will be the opposite.

Seems a Little Sketchy #73 with Imagine That

This week we are sponsored by Image That! at Seems a Little Sketchy, so pop over, take a look and see if you are inspired to participate. This is my creation, but go see the superfab creations my teemies made!

Keep in mind that the sketches for future challenges are already listed, so that's a great place if you're like me and like to use a sketch as a basis for your creation!

I'm also entering my creation into the following challenges: 

Crafter's Café: Child's Birthday

Penny's: Anything Goes

Crafty Girls: Anything Goes

Suzy Bee: Anything Goes

Crafts4Eternity: Digital (the stamp)

Fan-Tastic Tuesday: Anything Goes

613 Avenue: Anything Goes w/ optional color palette - and I believe I actually have about every color listed :)

Glitter'n'sparkle: Use a Digi

Guest Designer spot at Lexi's Creations

Oooh, can you believe I won a chance to be a guest designer over at Lexi's Creations (Which is a fab name, especially as one of my daughters is named Lexi ;) The theme is Sparkle and Shine, so I really did what challenges are meant to do, ie. challenge yourself :) I was allowed to choose a pic, and Footie Ali just spoke to me as I have a football playing son, but the challenging part was combining him with the theme. Well, a lot of sparkle glue in addition to some sparkly details in the designer paper accomplished that :)

I'm entering mycard into the following challenges: Simon Says Wednesday (AG), Brown Sugar (AG), Cute Card Thursday (AG), Fab'n'Funky (For the Kids), Fan-Tastic Tuesday (AG) and Inky Impressions (AG), Crafty Girls (AG), Penny's (Christmas / Children) and Gem of a Challenge (Summer time),

Bath time

A bath tub would sometimes be really nice to have, even though I think I mostly miss the idea of it and not the actual tub itself. But then again they probably nowadays have some kind of a neck/head rest available that make taking a bath much more comfortable.

I'm participating in: Sweet Sketch Wednesday,  Whoopsi Daisy (Girly), Clear it Out (Theme: fave color combo, which now is heavily inspired by my daughters: pink & purple), Simon Says Wednesday (AG), Brown Sugar (AG), Cute Card Thursday (AG), Fan-Tastic Tuesday (AG) and Inky Impressions (AG)

Ballons and banners

Sometimes I have a huge problem when I like the background papers so much that I just don't want to cover them, even though the pic I have in mind is very cute. Like in this case :)

I'm participating in: Incy Wincy (Balloons & Banners), Sketchy Colors (Blå, grön, lila - det syns lite dåligt att stjärnan och pärlorna är lila),  Divas by Design (Happy Birthday), Pile it On (Best Wishes/Congratulations), Robyn's Fetish (Cards for Men - I hope a boy qualifies), Cupcake Inspirations (Party time) and Penny's (Christmas/Children).

P*skishaaste: Rohkeasti korttipohjalle

P*skiksen 5-vuotishaastejuhlassa Heidin Korttipajan valitsema haaste-teema on Rohkeasti Korttipohjalle, ja ensimmäinen reaktio oli että siihen en ainakaan pysty osallistumaan. Leimaaminen, ja vielä rohkeasti, ei ainakaan vielä ole juttuni. MUTTA yhtäkkiä inspiraatio iski kun näin tämän kumileimasimen ja tässä lopputulos. Ehkäpä uskallan toiste kokeilla ja sen myötä kehittyä :)

I'm participating in the following challenges: Cheerful Sketches, MilkCoffee (Add Stripes), Creative Knock-outs (Favorite things to do, and especially in the mornings a cup or three of coffee is an absolute necessity!, and in general reading is a thing I love to do each day esp. during my daily commute), Artistic Inspirations (AG), Craft Your Passions (Use at least 3 patterned papers), Avenue 613 (AG), Simon Says MOnday (AG) and Fan-Tastic Tuesday (AG).

Tanken på snö och jul känns ännu härligt avlägsen!
