craftygranny,thanks for the link,that was the one,but I must have read the brief wrong cos your suppossed to stamp the dog pic and colour with promarkers,my dog is decoupage,lol.never mind I,ll keep it in my card stash.
Should put my reading glasses on and get my brain functioning.
xx thanks

Get it entered into that one as it says it is a sketch and a theme... nothing about using that dog, they cant expect people to buy images unless they want to, it says this...

This weeks challenge is from Lorraine and she has a lovely sketch for you all to follow, she has also chosen a theme to follow, which is 'Dogs'.
Here's Lorraines sketch

Least that is how I read it

I'm with rusty on the promarker challenge it just says circles and dogs . The ones the dt did aren't stamped they are digis. Should be fine to enter
How about this challenge too it fits it is lots of layers here

I'll keep looking

I am having a mare of a morning, OH reformatted my lappy on sunday, which is fab cause I am back onto windows XP instead of horrible annoying vista, however I cant print my pictures cause it chops all the heads off :mad: just trying to download a service pack and see if that helps!! otherwise I have just wasted £4 on digi images :mad:

Morning ladies - we had some sad news yesterday - OH's grandad died in the night - he was a lovely man but had been suffering for quite a while - he had cancer, so at least he's at peace now. I got myself really stressed out yesterday - OH had asked me to make a few sympathy cards for his Mum and Nan - I couldn't decide what to do, so I'm going to try and finish them today.

Rainmac - fab challenge card - I love those owls!!!!!

Wanna-b-rich - I'm glad to hear that everything went well!!

Marg - I've been recording that "Silence" programme - is it any good????

Craftygranny - great teacher's gifts - they look fabulous all packaged up!

Lei-Armstrong - your wedding card is stunning - I love all the flowers - no wonder your friend paid £10 for it - I think she got a bargain! Congratulations on your promotion.

Artydoll - great card - love the colours - thanks for entering the challenge - I really struggled with the sketch!

When I was using Vista I had that but there is nothing like it on this one, I am quite computer savvy but there was definately nothing like that. OH said to download service pack 3 and it should be ok, I am still waiting for it to finish downloading :mad: but hopefully I can then print out these digis as I have 2 images I need to print!

Made a card whilst waiting for it to finish! can be seen on my blog. About to blog again aswell cause I forgot to blog the seed packet I made for Step mum!

ETA - Blogged the seed holder
