Tulip Jar

 

Merry Christmas 

from 

a hot and summery

New Zealand.

Good morning and welcome to my blog, as I've said in my previous posting there isn't enough hours in my day as I know all of us have so much to do at this time of year.

This week over at Sweet Sketch

Wednesday 2 we had to pick

our favourite sketch of the year, I picked Sketch # 119 which you might remember one that  I designed, here's the sketch and my card that I made for that challenge.

My reason for choosing this sketch is because I loved making this card and the fresh clean look it had also I won a lot of challenges with it so that's my reasoning.

Now onto this fortnights card using our sponsor's image

Jar Tulip by Bugaboo Stamps.

That's right our sponsor this week is
