2S4Y - Kazan's Sketch 46 - Love and bugs

Horrible Friday. I keep worrying about things and instead of relaxing on my day off I just go over and over everything in my head... Good job crafting room is always so welcoming and I can find my refuge there.

Here is the fruit of today's labour - card based on Kazan's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. When I saw Kazan's card I was instantly inspired! It was so playful and colorful. I also thought it will be the perfect opportunity to use the bug stamp set from"Ugly Bugs". I have picked this one up on one of the craft shows several months ago and have not used it once.

Other supplies are Cosmo Cricket paper from the "Earth Love" mini deck and a bit of lovely but recycled ribbon!

And now I will go downstairs, have a cuddle with my other half and watch a movie. Cause after all there is nothing like "love and bugs"! :)

Christmas competition!

Hi Guys!

Just a quick note to announce a competition! I have reached over 100 subscribes on YT and also Christmas is coming, so it ia perfect opportunity to have a little competition.

Here are the rules of the competition:

After the long absence - Laura's Sketch 30 (2S4U)

I know, I know. I haven't posted anything for ages and my YouTube channel is kind of empty (although I did post one video recently, just because I had to make a card for my friend's birthay so I filmed the process and posted it on YT). But otherwise I've been quiet. There are few reasons behind it:

1. I kind of lost it for card making. I have those phases when I just don't go to my craft room for few months and then cannot stop crafting again... At this very moment I'm sitting in my little studio so I hope this is a good sign.

2. I've been ill for a while and felt sorry for myself therefore my favourite thing was to stay in bed, read my book (Sookie Stakehouse novels, love the books, hate the TV series) and playing my new toy - Nintendo DSi. BTW, did you know that I work in the computer games industry? Yes, really :)Very few women and plenty of men...just like at Uni (I studied Computer Science). Now, going back to being ill - on weekdays, in the evenings I watched TV wrapped up in the blanket (just in case you are wondering - yes, I did go to work, I generally don't do sickies unless I have a cold just because I believe there is no need to infect everyone else with my germs) and on weekends it was by book and my games.

3. I wanted to spend more time with my partner. Crafting takes a lot of time and we kind of stopped seeing each other in the evenings even though we live together! ;)

But I'm back, at least for now. And Germaine, if you read this - I'm really sorry for being so late with replying to your emails, I know I've been useless but I hope you forgive me and I can still join the craft club :)

So anyway! Here is my card for this weeks sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. I hope you like it!

Moving my blog

I have decided to move my blog from my website to the proper blogging site. This is mainly because I can't link my website blog to YouTube and few other sites. so here we go, new beginning :)

To start with here is the provcess of creating the card below. The whole process took me 3h but I quite like it!
