Buttercups

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  I can't believe it's October already and it's count down to the end of the year.

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 we have two new sketches and this is the first one.

Flower Birdie

Good morning and welcome to my blog on this beautiful spring morning.  Another stunning day in paradise.

Here is my second card made for

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

again using a Bugaboo image

and this time would have to be one of my very favourites

Flower Birdie using

Sketch # 215

This is an easy sketch, and if you don't have a Hexagon die it isn't hard to cut a hexagon yourself.

Here are a couple my views of my card. 

 

You may have noticed that we have all created with Bugaboo images this month. The Bugaboo shop is closed and we would like to thank Jodie and all the design team at Bugaboo for their support of Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and our previous incarnation Sweet Sketch Wednesday through the years.

Our winner this month will choose 4 images from the ones we have used as their prize.

Flower Pocket #7

 Good morning followers and welcome to my blog.  Today is the first day of spring which I've really been looking forward to all winter.

Unfortunately, New Zealand is in Level 4 lockdown due to an outbreak of Covid 19.  So today I made bread as well as Sourdough bread and two loaves of wholemeal and rye and a very large bowel of Granola, plus all the office work that I normally do.

Sketch #214
