~April with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

First off, here is my take on sketch #301

I have used this adorable image from Polkadoodles called Winnie Sunshine Delight Little Friends.  I've paired it with some gorgeous floral papers from SU!

I also chose this as our throwback sketch for this month.  It's sketch #213 from August 2021.

~All About Animals with Di's Digis

 It's tine for a new challenge over at Di's Digis!  This time around we are asking to see your creations featuring animals for our All About Animals challenge.

I have used an image called Plant Pot Fun and it is a colored image as I have had a terrible head/sinus cold all week and it mad life just a tad easier.  It's an older image so I don't see it in her Etsy store but there are so many others to choose from if you don't have any, you'll have no problem finding something that suits you.  

 

Be sure to check out the challenge blog to see all the other DT makes to see all the animal fun featuring Di's Digis images!  Can't wait to see your creations!
