Just Add Ink #268 - Just Add a Sketch

Good morning beautiful blog friends ~

OMGoodness Friday's roll around ever so quickly....over at Just Add Ink today we have a new sketch challenge from Narelle.

It's been a really crazy busy time the past six weeks (you know...buying and selling houses, sending GK off on his big adventure to Borneo), and I've had minimal crafting time.  Today I have a fairly straight forward, simple, layered card to share.  


Using a base of Coastal Cabana and the Best Year Ever designer paper (another freebie from SAB this year), along with a little Sahara Sand and some (now retired) Crisp Cantaloupe I just layered up. Told you, pretty simple!

The design team have made some stunning cards to share with you this week, so head over to JAI and check them out.  I'm sure you'll be inspired by their creations.  Hope you can join the challenge fun with us.  Here's the sketch.


Well GK left bright and early yesterday morning.  I was a bit teary and sad to send him off, despite this being a fabulous opportunity and such a learning experience for him.  I'm already counting the days/weeks until he comes home with all his news, and hopefully a memory card full of photos!

We have an open home this Saturday and Sunday so a bit of a drag, but it should be reasonably painless.  I'm already tired of having to wipe down the shower and bathroom every time one of us uses it.  I've been smart though, and closed off the other two bathrooms - so no extra cleaning required lol.

Hope you have a fabbo weekend!  Back again soon.

    1. Hi Shauna, thanks for your lovely comment. I used one of the PTI Circle Scribble Dies behind the flowers. Link here >>> https://www.papertreyink.com/pti-dies/papertrey-ink-circle-scribbles-die-collection-set-of-3/

  8. I've never been thru the process of selling a house and can just imagine how annoying it would be having to keep it clean all the time. Fingers crossed its not for much longer! I don't blame you for having a cry, would be hard not to sending your child off on an adventure. He's going to come back full of stories. Love your colours for your card this week, reminds me of Florida or Miami, that pastel retro look. Beautiful.

  9. The background is so wonderfully textured but so light too P. Love how bright and detailed the flowers feel in comparison. xxx

  11. You've got so much on your plate & mind at the moment, Patrice so I hope making some pretties like this gives you some happy time. I love how pretty & fresh your card is. The little white scribble really complements the colours & elements (& I can see it would be very useful since I'm totally twisty thread-challenged)& of course I love the pretty Flower Shop blossoms (I soooo love that set)."
    Sending hugs, D
