Friday Sketcher

This week's Friday Sketcher has been a bit of a challenge for me as Ellie has gone down with tonsillitus again (4th or 5th time so far this year, I'm loosing count!!!) and I am really tired as no sleep last night. I have used the sketch for 2 cards that I needed to make, but am not sure about either ... but also too tired to care now!!
For this card I used Sugar Nellie's Postbox and coloured it in aqua promarkers. The papers are Making Memories and I made the little envelopes. The flowers and braid are from my stash. I forgot to round the corners on the little squares - oops!


I used Making Memories papers again for this card that is for a friend's little girl. I love this Tilda and used my nesties to cut out the ovals. I punched the hearts out of red corrugated paper and added silver peel off hearts and text. The lace and silver braid is from my stash.

Sorry this is a quick post - off to nurse a poorly little girl. Hopefully I will get time to do some blogging later.
