Stripey Sketch Saturday

Where does the time go these days ... I can believe its already mid afternoon and I have hardly done any crafting, well non apart from the time it took Dave and the girls to go to the shop for some bread and milk. I have done the cleaning, gardening, tidied up outside ... being a childminder both inside and outside need a lot of tidying after the whirlwinds have gone ... and I have them full time next week, not just after school. So my week will be lots of tidying and no crafting!
On a better note, I have won this month's Secret Crafter prize so I am looking forward to doing a bit of shopping later on!
Well onto the card I have made for this week's Secret Crafter (Stripes) and Sketch Saturday.

I love the Making memories papers but haven't used them for ages, so out they came for the stripes. Melinda is coloured in using promarkers due to the small window of crafting time I had! She is matted onto papers from the same pack. I rotated the sketch, and used ric rac fro the scalloped edges. I tied some ribbon through a clear button and made it the centre of my floewr. Some simple brads finish the sketch. I wanted this to be quite clean and uncluttered so no extra embellishments, swirls, distressing!
We are off out later to stay with friends overnight so I am going to go and do the packing, and will catch up with the blog hopping tomorrow.
