Daisy Panel

Good morning and welcome to my blog.

Day #42 in lockdown here in New Zealand.  I must admit I am enjoying it, as I'm cooking dishes I haven't done in years and I've tidied up my craft room and desk.  

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

our sponsor is Sheepski Designs.

I find it so hard to choose an image of Andrea's as I want them all to play with.

Some other shots of my card.  I used more vintage look colours I don't usually use but I'm very happy with my card and how it turned out.

Welcome to my blog.  This month is quite strange as we are in lockdown here in New Zealand and have been since 11.59 pm on 25th March doing our bit as a country to beat this

 Covid-19 Virus.  That means I have my husband home all day every day and one of my sons home from University.  My other son is in lockdown at Massey University is a 6-hour drive from our home.  My hubby is always out and about with his work and at the moment stuck at home he has cabin fever. 

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 we have a new sponsor  Polkadoodles.  If you have already done so pop over to Polkadoodles and check out their amazing site with such wonderful images.

Our new sponsor this month is Polkadoodles.

1st Wedding Anniversary

Today I'm sharing a card with you that I made for an order.

It was the couples first Wedding Anniversary, they got married on St Patrick's Day last year and her bridesmaid dresses were red.

I was given a brief synopsis of this couple by the groom's mother that ordered the card.   I didn't think it should be a jovial card as it's a special day in their lives to celebrate.  That is why I included her bridesmaid's dress colour, and the Irish verse because of the day they were married which was very special to them.

The groom's mother cried when she saw the card she loved it so much and she knew they would too.

Today I'm entering the following challenges:

1. World Wide Open Design Team Challenge from March - April *

2. Unicorn Challenge #52 Flower Power *

3. A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge # 112 Anything Goes *

4. A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge March 2020 Design Team Favourite
