STRAWBERRIES


Welcome, everyone, to my blog.  It's lovely that you've dropped by to see what I've been up to and to see my latest project.
I'm so happy with this card, and these Strawberries look good enough to eat.  Strawberry season is coming to an end here in New Zealand, as the evenings are getting cooler, and we are now in Autumn (Fall).
Today, I'm showcasing the first of two new sketches for 
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  I'm so happy with how my card turned out because it shows off the beautiful design papers we all have stashed away.  This particular design paper I've had stashed for over 10 years. I loved looking at it, but didn't want to use it.

Sketch #322

This sketch is easy, and it shows off your design papers beautifully.

 A quick peek at the inside of my card.


Don't forget to drop by
 Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what the rest of the design team has been up to.

  13. This is gorgeous Kathie and the shading on the strawberries is perfect. It's so lovely when you find some patterned paper in your stash that just fits the bill too.
