The Sweet Stop / Creative Inspirations/ and Crafty Ann´sChallenge Blog

As Anne said previously, I´m quite getting into this challenge thing.
My latest is for The Sweet Stop Challenge Blog, Crafty Ann´s Challenge Blog, and the Creative Inspirations Challenge Blog
here is the sketch:-


I have chosen to flip the image.



My flower? Well, I´ll let you into a secret. It´s not where it´s supposed to be because the spot where it is now located acquired a greasy mark whilst I was out of the house, and as my printer is playing up, I decided to cover it with the flower.

I case you can´t read the sentiment it says" All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother", accredited to Abraham Lincoln. It pretty much sums up how I feel about my mother who has been gone now 16 years, but whom I miss daily.

  1. Backing Papers - all by Pink Petticoat.
  2. Circles cut with Nellie Snellen circle dies
  3. Flowers by Prima
  4. Ribbon - local shop
  5. Jewel from stash

Fantastic Jackie and I agree with the sentiment. Like you I miss my Mum dreadfully and she's always with me, even after 13 years. Hugs x
