A Present from Connie
Good morning followers, up until the past weekend we've had amazing weather it rained all Saturday and Sunday wasn't much better then on Monday is was windy and really really cold, cold enough to turn the electric blanket on our bed and today it was lovely warm and sunny again so what's happening in this world regarding Mr Weatherman. We also had our first snow fall for the season down on the mountains so winter is just around the corner and a nice long Easter weekend coming up.
Today is Wednesday and that means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday
Sketch #98 we are counting down to sketch 100 in a couple of weeks a blog hop and to have more than 400 followers.
This week Arlana has another wonderful sketch for us this was really fun to work with but I always find that I either make my circles to BIG or to small. I was really pleased with my cards I new what I was going to do as soon as I purchased the green paper with the white polka dots.

| Don't you love this flower I bought, I designed my card around the green polka dot paper and the flower and I had the perfect ribbon to match. Both dresses and presents were paper pieced on both cards, I did find this quite funny as I'm so use to colouring my images and taking time. |
