AG with the option of a sketch at Creative Inspirations

Good morning all! Thanks for you kind comments on yesterdays post - its very good of you to take the time to come and visit - I do appreciate it!

Hope you are well? We are good although I'm glad I won't be getting weighed for a couple of weeks - I think the Great British bake off has been getting the better of me! I was so glad that Frances won - loved her canapes last week - they were just amazing! Yum yum!!!

Onto todays post ....
This week's challenge over at Creative Inspirations  is Anything Goes + Option of A Sketch! Here's the sketch:


This week's prize is from  MY MUMS CRAFT SHOP and is a £10 GIFT VOUCHER!




I was lucky enough to win one of these the other week and my goodies rolled in today - can't wait to use them - but I will have to wait until tonight - after Rainbows and after my little penny's rehearsal for the Alice in Wonderland play in the village.

Back to my card .....





I've made this for the winter birthday of my niece Evie. She's going to be 9 this year - growing fast!!! The image is from the stamp fairy and I've coloured her with promarkers and distressed around the edges with tumbled glass DI. The papers are from LOTV. The flowers are WOC and the gems from Chloe.

I'd like to enter the following challenges with this card:

PFPpromarkerchallenge: Give me a P - Plaid, (ski) poles, 
As you like itasyoulikeitchallenge: Fave sketch and why - for me this sketch is so useful - most images will fit well with a central focal point and the 2 papers crossed behind the image look fab.

Thats all for today - got a lovely one to show you tomorrow - and I'll bring you the results of my candy win too! 

Big Hugs and thanks for joining me today!
