A big hello and welcome to my blog thank you so much for calling by! Quite a few of the challenges I was on the Design Team for have closed down and I decided not to take on anymore for the time being. This was because I just don't have as much time to craft as I used to and also to give me more time to craft for myself so to speak. So today's card is one I made using the sketch on Sketch Saturday because I just love sketches!
The image is by Little Claire and I stamped it in Versafine. The digital papers are by Meghan Mullens called Fly available from The Sweet Shoppe. I followed this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday and I do find making a card so easy when you follow a sketch! If you haven't tried it you really should have a go. The border is from Dienamics Blueprint 14 and I have also used Dienamics for the sentiment, image and mat. The butterfly is Impression Obsession.
Here is the sketch I pretty much followed to the T:
Challenges I would like to enter:
Sketch Saturday - Sketch 347

My daughter and Rowan are coming around today so I best get cracking and whizz around the house with the duster, mop and vacuum! Thank you so much for looking today and the lovely comments you leave - see you soon!

Susan I agree, time is important to be able to be on DT and I am relating to this more and more each day....but love it. LOVE this stamp and one I have admired for a while....pity it's not a digi as I would have purchased ages ago. Love your take on the sketch and wonderful papers used as well.xx

Hi Susan, Yes its sometimes good to take stock and just craft for ourselves for a while. I think we have time to refresh and enjoy ourselves and then come back eager to go again.
I like Sketches too and this one is super. I love the Silhouette you used.

Isn't it amazing, even when the house is clean, we still want to whizz around when we know a grandchild is calling lol. Good for you taking a wee break to enjoy crafting again. I am only on the one dt and its more than enough at the minute even though they are great fun to be on. I love your gorgeous make Susan.
