This is my entry for the Papertake weekly, a fabby sketch by the talented Dawny, I will be using this sketch again, I hope it's ok I put my sentiment in a different place as it wouldn't fit under the image, (I understand if I can't be entered because of this x) again this is part of the commison for the Grandma who is 90.

This is my entry for Allsorts Challenge, which is no stamped images or sentiments! I was quite happy with this even though it had no stamped image, and then hubby looked at it and said aww it just looks like one of those shop bought one's where they stick on the embellishments lol, mmm I don't like it that much now lol.
