Well here I am - and a decision made.
No builder still and I've no idea when we will see him, hubby is still not inclined to harass him, so we are in limbo land.
Seeing as I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs I've decided to try and pick up the crafting pace. So I have a card to show!!!
Now a very large reason for this card is because Paula from Pollycraft is back!! Ooooh I love her digis and she's re-starting her challenge blog and looking for a DT. Well, in spite of the lack of blogging and absent Mojo I've decided to throw my hat in the ring.
I'm going to do it, even though I've no hope of getting on the team, as I know if I don't I'll be forever kicking myself for not even trying. I remember a DT call happening just after I started blogging and I didn't apply - well I'm doing it this time!!
So a card - after nothing for so long, it was a bit of long process and not a lot to show for it! I honestly didn't know what to put where, so I opted for the less is better look!! It's also, possibly, if SHMbO likes it, going to be for hubby's fathers' day card - so I didn't want it full of flowers and frills.
Here it is:
Front shot:
The Arty Farty:
His Close Up:
I used:
Digi image:
Pollycraft - Maurice: Daddy 'cool'
(sorry it's not in the shop as it's an ages old image - possibly even a freebie?)
coloured with my Promarkers
Sentiment - Fiskars
Dies:
Nestie
Papers:
echo park - Note to self
Anything else?
Bakers twine
charm
3d gloss
Stickles glitter glue
So I'm crossing fingers, toes and anything hoping that I might get on the DT. Even if I don't I'm happy that I tried and it might be the kick start to Mr Mojo.
Here's hoping that I see you more regularly!

Gorgeous card Sarah, love that digi, not heard of them before so will have a look!
Re the builder situation - check your contract he might owe you some money - slippery devils they can be! Karen x
Hi Sarah, I can't believe that you've still got no builders. Hope they turn up soon!! Typical builders~
Good luck with your DT entry. I have my fingers crossed for you. Your card is great. Love the black and red background. That digi image is so cute and you coloured him beautifully!
p.s. Thanks for your test tube storage information. Yes, it was me that asked. What a great way to store marker pens and it is a lot, a lot cheaper than the storage boxes that I've seen. How did you come across of using test tube boxes? I wouldn't thought of that in a million years! ^_^ Thanks for your information, I'll sure buy a couple of those!!
That's fab Sarah. Made me laugh!
Good luck with the DT call :)

Hi Sarah
Your card is fabulous, I love that fun image, brilliant colouring and such great papers too.
Good luck with the DT call. It's clear that you love Pollycraft images and I think you would be a great asset to the team.

Great card Sarah! Glad your mojo is back! Your colouring on this one is perfect...worthy of a team appointment I would say!
I have been bad at getting about...I was so swamped with the garden work...one more post of piccies and then i will stop boring everyone to bits with it! teehee
I do enjoy gardening...but I am so crippled with arthritis now that although I can get down on my knees to weed (carefully)...I have a devil of a time getting back up! Not a pretty sight indeed!!!
No excuses anymore for getting behind on visits so I promise to be a good girl and visit more often!!!
Adorable card Sarah, I love that fun image! Good luck with the DT call!
Hugs, Tammy
