Today's post is for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and The Paper Players Challenge this week. I had a big order arrive on Friday and have been dying to use some of my new toys. Had a few distractions over the weekend, our youngest Grand daughter Jenna came to visit. I also started to catalogue my stamp sets so I know what I have on hand and can use some of them instead of them gathering so much dust. Gosh it's a big job, I had photocopied the stickers of a lot of the sets as I received them but I still have heaps to do on the ones I forgot to and the second hand ones. I also need to make some swaps for Perth Regionals next weekend so I probably won't being doing a lot of challenges this week. Anyway I have managed to do this challenge stamping the flower outlines, and then filling in the flowers by using the stamp-a-ma-jig and the stamp for this flower, rocked and rolled the butterfly and ruffled the Seam Binding Ribbon, let me know if you like it, I am loving these new images.
