Sketch Saturday and another sneak peak ....



Hi everyone, well the bank holiday is nearly over but this week I am working Friday instead of Tuesday so I have another day off before I go back to work which feels really nice! This card features the sweet 'Kiki Rose Fairy' which is to be released in the Pollycraft Designs Shop on Monday 7th of June.

This card is for this week's challenge over at Sketch Saturday. They have some fantastic prizes as they are celebrating their birthday so I could not miss this one!

I also had a nice surprise today to see that I made the top 3 at Die Cut Dreams.


Thanks for stopping by.

Creative Scrappers Sketch 105#


Hi everyone, I have a scrapbook page to share with you today which I made using a lovely little sketch from Creative Scrappers and I am entering into their challenge. Using this sketch made my page come together really quickly and I so enjoyed making it. This photo was taken last week of Grace and her cousin Amber dressed up to go a family day at the nursery where Grace goes to. Grace came 4th in the fancy dress competition so this photo really had to be scrapped!

Thanks for stopping by.
