Pretty Doily Die

 Good morning, well here it is another Saturday morning here in New Zealand, where has that week gone to?  As I get older the weeks seem to go by faster.

Today I have the second sketch for 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Sketch #254

I was running out of time this month, so I felt a little lazy by using a die rather than colouring up an image.  But I think that this card looks pretty especially with the design papers used.

BLACK & WHITE SKETCH #251

 Welcome bloggers to my blog.  Well today was very

 Black & White.  I've had a very dear friend who has been suffering from Parkinson's for the last 7 years.  She had a very aggressive form which was unfair and very curl to watch her fade away but she still had a brilliant brain.  She applied for Youth in Asia (Assisted Dying Service) and it was finally approved so she could pass when she was ready in her time without her family having to worry about her anymore.  I won't dedicate this card to her as I know she loved bright colours when I make it will be for you, Robyn.

Sketch #251

This isn't a hard sketch but it looks like a lot of work, it doesn't take long at all to put together.

Drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see what our design team and guest designers have created for you.
