Strawberry Mint Julep

Is the scrummy colour scheme set by Cute Card Thursday:



And the fab sketch is by Sketch Saturday. I had fun with this one, the image is a freebie digi stamp from Pollycraft (woo-hoo we love a freebie) called Cherry Kisses Snowball and the patterned papers are another freebie that came in a magazine. I shaded Cherry with Copics and added a ton of Glamour Dust just for a change and tried the sitting out of a nestie cutting technique again. The stamped sentiment is by MSE and the snowflake is a punch.



Today is one for smiling, I've just made the top 5 in last weeks challenge at Stampin' 4 the Weekend, thrilled with that. I've just come back from lunch with my lovely friend Sue (thanks for the bowl of chips!), I picked her up from her work, last time I went to that building I was made redundant so was a bit weird going there.

Lunch was fab though and was so great to catch up with Sue and to give her the little crafting gift I made earlier this week. And as if that's not smiles enough, the postie has been and brought me some rather delish stamps from Tracey at Dies to Die For - speedy service there Tracey - *mwah*.
