THANKS A BUNCH

Good morning, and welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for visiting. Today I have a card made with these wonderful flowers and a colour combo that frightens me. I do use yellow, but hardly ever use brown. I adore looking at other creations made with these colour combinations, such as blue and brown together, and pink & kraft.

My card today is for Polkadoodles Digi Choosday, and the theme is THANK YOU. We always need to express our gratitude to someone, and this card can be used for either a male or female recipient due to its neutral colours.

A quick look at the inside.

LOVELY & FREE

Welcome to my blog. Another day and another lovely card and sketch. This sketch and card are different for me. I've designed 24 new sketches for 2026, and they are all so different from other years. This particular sketch doesn't use an image, only a statement, and the focal point of the card is the design paper.

Sketch # 319

This sketch is totally different from my normal sketches. There are so many beautiful design papers on the market, and sometimes our images we use cover those design papers up.

A very easy sketch, and I'm so pleased with the finished result.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the design team has created using one of my sketches, and also, there is a blast from the past retro sketch.
