Sweet Pea

Good evening all,

This week I received my first batch of Sweet Pea stamps from Crafts & Me
I’ve seen them about and loved them to pieces,
but am ashamed to think how long it took me to finally get some to play with!!

Today I’ve been playing with ‘Flowing in Blue‘,
a mythical figure and I think she is oh so pretty!
Papers I’ve used are MME All Girl,
sentiment is by Lily of the Valley and
everything else from stash.

When I was colouring her,
I just felt the need to add doodling all over her hair,
face, body, dress and ofcourse the butterfly..
I think it really suits her and it’s all fantasy right?

.oOo.

My card fits in with the following challenges:

* Friday Sketchers: gorgeous sketch by Bea
* Cute Card Thursday: Happy Shiney cards
* Stamp Something: something Funky

.oOo.

I’m getting overly excited about tomorrow now..
First and foremost catching up with Karen [Sugar Nellie] and my gorgeous friend Erika,
then a class with mr Tim Holtz himself..
Wow, can’t wait to see what we will be making..
I’ll be sure to take my camera and will give you a full report on my blog as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for your visit today,
please come back tomorrow when I have a little mini candy give-away for you all :)

Hugs,

Marlene x
