Our week passes by so quickly I feel that our Wednesday's roll into each other.
On the 1st March it was the start to our Autumn (Fall) and you would think that the weather gods knew it was the change of season over night as our temperatures have dropped dramatically in the evenings. Last Monday evening at 9pm it was 20c and last night at 9pm it was 13c what a change. A friend text me today who has just moved to Queenstown in the South Island and said it was snowing to the mountain range there, it looks very pretty but very cold.

Welcome to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. It was lovely visiting all of your blogs and seeing which was your favorite sketches and that extra twist of Monochromatic which was totally a first for me, I did enjoy it and I will make another monochromatic card with a Vintage feel I think and image. Congratulations to our winner and to our top 3 cards great work everyone.

Sketch #008
Here's my card using Garden Bonnet, you may recall I used a similar image last year from A Day For Daisies which was Delivery Bonnet. I love these sweet images they remind me of 'Holly Hobbie' which I was totally in love with when I was a very young girl.

Kathie, I am in awe at this card. It is so stunning and your color combo is so warm and inviting. Beautifully done all around. We are starting into spring' although we never got a winter this year. I think we are really going to have problems this summer with water supply. My grass is so bromw and I really hope I can revive it. It is so frustrating to do all this myself. Stay warm and I hope you have a grand weekend.
Hugs, Nancy
I love these images too!! Ours are quite similar =). Katie, I just adore your papers - such a beautiful color scheme, your card is absolutely gorgeous!!
Blessings to you!!
