Happy Monday everyone, did you all have a fabby weekend...I didn't do much but we went to Marks and Spencer's yesterday to do some goody shopping and I bought some of the lushest flaked Scottish salmon....mmmmmmmm delicious...it was cold here last night so I was sitting in my kitchen with a huge fluffy dressing gown and fluffy pink socks eating a salmon salad straight out of the fridge with my teeth almost chattering but determined to enjoy it lol...as you can see the challenge cards are coming back and today's is using the gorgeous sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and I'm also entering it for the 2 dp papers maximum challenge at 7 Kids College Fund too...I used this cute little fella isn't he just so gorgeous with his little fish bowl hes a Greeting Farm set Oliver and Amelia My Favourite things, I teamed him up with Kaisercraft Le Chateau papers and the sentiment is from the same pad...they are both from Bunny Zoe's Crafts ...I finished with some buttons and a thick satin ribbon...I hope you like it and have a wonderfully Happy Monday everyone

    This is just darling. Can I ask did you go for colouring lessons or are you just a natural? x

    Hi Mina. What a beautiful card. Love the colours and your papers. Such a cute little image. Donna.
    P.S. Your card yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Lovely image and perfectly coloured. Loved the little scattered flowers. Didn't get the chance to comment as was doing some much needed garden fence painting and was taking advantage that it was dry for a change, although still cold.
