 Welcome back and thank you for stopping by!  We have a new month of fabulous sketches over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!

 

Kathie has designed 2 fantastic sketches for us again this month and here are my creations.  For sketch #251, I have used this adorable Spring Gnome from Polkadoodles and it's super fun kit, coloured images, B&W images, papers, sentiments too, it's full of crafty goodness for Spring!

 

 

 

and for sketch # 252, I have used this fabulous colored The Old Truck from Fred She Said.  I used Farmhouse Living paper and Ephemera from Echo Park along with some CTMH enamel dots and twine from The Twinery to complete this card:-) I did rotate the sketch to fit my image, but it's all there, just a different angle.

~Things with Wings/Tails with Di's Digi Challenge

 Hello and welcome back!  It's been a bit since I've been on here and it really has been a busy couple of months.  My daughter graduated from dental hygiene and we moved her home across the country!  We took the trip home through the US and it was uneventful but a great trip home!35+ hours of driving- 3 provinces and four states:-)

 

I am back now though with a new card for our latest Di's Digis challenge today.  Things with Wings/Tails is what our challenge is this time around and I have used this adorable Bunny Kisses and Springtime Wishes image for my card this week.

It kind of looks like its coloured with pencils but its not, I coloured it up with Copics!  Love these springtime colours snd I am sure hoping Spring show sup here soon!  We are about to start calving and we have soooooo much snow still!

 

Becasue we are so close to Easter, Di has a great sale on right now to celebreate!

 

Be sure to check our the store for an amazing selection of new images like in the graphic but so many adorable ones you've love to colour up!

I hope you join us in our Things with Wings/Tails challenge!  Can't wait to see your card and you may even be the lucky prize winner!
