DAISY DAISY

 Good morning, fellow crafters.  Firstly, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter.  I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Today I have a card for 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, and I followed my own sketch, which I do each month.  This card was different, it hasn't got an image to colour but instead a sentiment.   I was thrilled how it turned out, and I would make this sketch again.

You can find all our sketches over on Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, and there are years of sketches to use.  But we would love you to enter this month's challenge.

Sketch #325

It's really easy, and you don't even need square cutting dies.  It also used up scrap pieces of design paper that we all have.  I used a daisy die, but you can use purchased flowers or even make your own out of paper or fabric. 

A quick peek at the inside of the card.

Don't forget to check out

PRETTY HYACINTH

 Good morning, and welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for visiting. 

Today, I have the second sketch over at 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Sketch # 323

This sketch is using up 4 design papers, and it's great to use up all the scraps we all have and keep for a rainy day, or you love them so much you don't want to use them up or part with them.  I'm guilty of that.

Here's a quick look at the inside of my card.

Don't forget to check out Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see what our design team have created.  Please join us and create something, as there are three sketches to choose from, or you could use all three.

MOTHERS DAY

Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for visiting me.  It's time for another card.  I made this card for a special friend, as she has so many of my cards over the years, and kept every one of them.  Then my daughter-in-law saw it and said Mum would love this for Mother's Day, and now it's a Mother's Day card, so I can always make another one for my friend.   The bio we had from Polkadoodles stated that it had to be a Mother's Day card or a birthday card. 

Here's a quick peek at the inside of my card.
