Mum's Wedding Day

Welcome to my blog.  Today we celebrate a milestone it's

10 years ago this week that Sweet Sketch Wednesday started and then went on to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  So please hop over to SSW2 and see my posting and join us this month to celebrate 10 years in Blogland and it's also my 9th year with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month.

Here is my celebration card using 

A Day for Daisies Image

Mum's Wedding Day

A Day for Daisies is our sponsor this month as I love Tammy's images.  If you don't know by now you may have read that Tammy is closing down ADFD.  This really saddens me and I wish her all the very best in her new artistic adventure.

Celebrating 10 years we've decided to use the first original sketch used back on 9th June 2009.

Gathering Spring

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today is Wednesday the middle of the week and time to look at our new sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Next week I'll be away in very sunny, tropic Cairn Queensland Australia to spend sometime with my sister, so next weeks posting will be scheduled so hopefully scheduler will work in my favour.

Congratulations to last weeks winner and to our Top 3 cards great work everyone.

This week we have another wonderful sketch by Sally, when I first saw the sketch I thought it wouldn't show off our design papers but I was so wrong it's worked perfectly and it isn't hard so please we would love to see your creations.
