Hi there everybody! I've been a bit of a bad blogger this week. :( Life is a bit hectic at the moment but will hopefully get under control after the end of the month.
I just want to share the March sketch over at Handmade by Suzanne with you. Suzanne has increased the prize to a $30 gift voucher and the winner gets determined by a random draw which means anybody can win! You've still got a week left to get it done, so why not give it a go... Just think of all the yummy goodies you can get for $30!
Here's the gorgeous sketch designed by our very own Michelle Fowler.
And here is my take on it. I've used Cosmo Cricket 'Circa 1934' pattern papers, Bazzil cardstock, Kaisercraft Pearl flourish, BG Basics mini alpha stickers, Dusty Attic pocket watch chipboard, AC Tickers and inkpad. All the products are available at Handmade by Suzanne.
The pic is of my mom's best friend, Anchen, who passsed away in 2001 shortly after being diagnosed with cancer. My mom still misses her every day.
Well, that's all for today! I hope you are all having a good week... and tomorrow is Friday... Yay!! Thank you for visiting my little blog and for your lovely comments. I appreciate them all.
Until next time. xx
