Welcome the my blog, here it is 28th May the end of the month already. I woke up yesterday morning to our first frost for winter and you could feel the nip in the air. It's a long weekend here in New Zealand this weekend so its nice to be together with the family.
Today is Wednesday and that means its another
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. Congratulations to our winner from last week and our Top 3 card, awesome work everyone it was so good being able to visit your blogs.
It's the end of the month and we always have a twist to finish off the month. This month we're revisiting a Sketch from a Blast from the Past. We're using sketch #192 which we used on 6th February 2013.
The twist this month is to create your card using P is for purple.
