Papertake Weekly meets Spoonfull sketch

This week's Papertake Weekly challenge is to use 1 circle, 2 ribbons and 3 stamps/images, and the Spoonfull of Sugar challenge is a sketch ... which happens to have a circle in it! As time is becoming more limited during the day, I have combined the challenges and come up with this ...

I stamped Willow and masked her so I could stamp the scene on behind (2 stamps!) and then watercoloured the scene. I have used some neglected papers, and apart from a little mistake and so resizing of the elements have followed the sketch with no rotation (I do like rotating sketches!) . Rather than buttons and brads I have used some adhesive gems as I am on a drive to finish up all those bits and bobs that get left at the bottom of baskets! I punched my flowers and inked the edges and added a sentiment (3rd stamp). I did wonder what it would look like as the background dp is not a favourite of mine - but it looks OK!

We are all exhausted here - I spent the morning at Pre-school sweeping the carpark so it is clean and safe for the children to play on. I had to take Beth, who loved playing with the other children, and their favourite game was ... running through and kicking the piles of rubbish we had swept, lovely little helpful things that they are!!! I now have blisters on my hands and the back is worse than ever ... but my halo is very shiny!
