Sponsor: A Day For Daisies
Image: Lady Hat Bow
Good morning everyone and what a wonderful morning it is. Spring is now here, all our spring flowers are out and my Wisteria over our ponds bridge is in full flower as you can see by my blog header. I just adore Wisteria and I just wish that it was in flower for longer as you have to wait for so long for those wonderful flowers to appear.
This is the last week that the boys are at home and they're back to school on Sunday night, 3 weeks just flies by but it won't be long before they're on their summer vacation for 7 weeks as they finish school this year on 12th December.
It's Wednesday and it's another wonderful Wednesday because it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and congratulations to our winner this week and our Top 3 cards wonderful work ladies and it was lovely to see so many of you using Saturated Canary images.

This week Arlana has another blast from the past and we are reusing sketch # 69.
Sketch #175-69
Here is my card using Lady Hat Bow. When I saw this image I just had to have it I felt that the image would be challenging to colour. It's such a vintage image and I really wanted to get my colours right to that era.
Here is my blast from the past using the same

Hi Kathie, Thanks for your lovely comment on my SSW card. Yes, it is Wellington, NZ. He was down there for two events at the NZ Short Course Champs - made one final. Alot of swimmers from Puke are swimming at his club's meet this weekend. I wonder if your son is one of them? I see from this post that I have another sketch to work with - thinking cap needs to go on! Hugs, Suze

gorgeous card and wonderfully coloured image- love it!
Thanks for the comments on my blog, especially about the pumpkins this week. I think they have loads of the green and grey skinned ones in Italy where i was last week. Here in the Uk we can only get the orange ones and only for carving at Halloween. They sell Butternut squash in the shops but not anything else unless you go somewhere special and pay a lot for it. Wish I could get one to grow... might give it a go next summer. we don't have such good soil here though- not volcanic ash- just clay.
hey hey!! this is a very nice website here and I just wanted to comment & say that you've done a great job here! Very nice choice of colors & layout, very easy on the eyes.. Nicely done!…
Such beautiful detail to your card Kathie. I love your colors and the vintage feel and all the lace. Sorry I am late. Playing catch up today on all of last weeks Dt. Fished all the players last week just in the nick of time. Hope you are doing well. Have a sweet day!!! HUGS Arlana
